4 Weeks Old

Today was a big day for Truman, he is 4 weeks old today which is just crazy to me, I can't believe how fast this month has gone I'm loving it and hating it all at the same time. I love it because his time in the NICU has gone by pretty quick so far and hating it because I feel like he shouldn't be that old and even tho I'm with him every day at least once because he's not at home I feel like I'm missing things... I know it's silly. This week I've been going up to the NICU for Truman's 11:30 cares for him to try nursing. Basically they've been feeding him through the NG tube while he trys and does skin on skin with me so he associates getting full with nursing. The last 2 days Truman decided that 11:30 is nap time and he didn't do much trying (a little but not much) so today I went in at 2:30 to see if he would be more alert at that time and wanting to try more... Let's just say I'm one smart mommy. He was awake and happy and SUCCESSFUL with latching. I was so excited. His nurse tonight told me he also was giving her hunger ques and we are happy about that too. I love this baby so much I can't wait for him to be at home with his daddy and me... He's just so incredible wow can a mom brag too much about her baby? Yeah I didn't think so! Happy 4 weeks Trumy we love you!
