Hello Baby, you had a great weekend. We enjoyed trying different outfits on you, you enjoyed it less. I understand, but it was a fun experience for us. You look adorable in any outfit. You had to go back on just a little oxygen. I think you just grew a little tired after two whole days of breathing room air. You tired much easier and showed signs of frustration. After that the staff decided to put you back on oxygen to help you rest a bit. You will probably stay on it for a couple of days and ten give it a try again. This doesn’t surprise me since you moved so quickly through the last part of weaning off the oxygen.
The other big development this weekend was you growing!!! You are now a 4 lb baby!!!!! This really feels like a relief and a big milestone. We are all so happy for you. You make your parents so proud. You are 4 times your smallest weight. It is so incredible to look back at pictures of your tiniest days. You are a miracle and a blessing of the biggest kind.
We also celebrated Easter by going to church then going to Nana’s house. It was a wonderful day. I wish you could have been there with us, but as long as you promise to make it next year I will be happy. Everything feels so exciting lately because I always think “next time I do this Holland will be with us!” It makes me happy thinking of just hanging out and doing stuff soon. For now, I will gladly take feeding and holding you. It still makes me very happy. We all look forward to your next adventure of joining the world outside the NICU. Keep up the great work and we will see you in no time.
Letters to Holland
