He started so small...

Erik has grown so much it is hard to believe he was ever so small. His tiny feet were so precious. I finally found a pair of sandals the other day that actually fit him. They look so cute on him. Erik has been busy gaining weight and growing. When I said he was 6 lbs. 7 oz. it was a weight from the week before, that actual day he was 6 lbs. 11 oz. and today he was weighed (and he received 4 shots) and weighs 7 lbs. 4 oz! He is also 19 1/2 inches long. He is now the size of a full term baby. Erik will be 7 mos. old on Monday, it's hard to believe. Tomorrow I am babysitting him and I plan on taking him out a bit to show him off. I will wear him in the Snuggli so no one thinks they can kiss or hold him. He doesn't need their germs. It should be fun!

Bronchitis!

Well, you know he's a preemie with lung problems! Erik now has bronchitis and has to have a breathing treatment every 6 hours. At least he is at home and didn't need to be admitted to the hospital again. He was weighed and he weighs 6 lbs. 7 oz. now. Erik is almost 7 mos. old. I can't believe how fast time flies! Big brother, Justin, goes to school all day now and so it is a bit easier for Claire during the day. Well, that's the update for now. Not much new besides that!

Getting bigger!

Erik is getting bigger. He weighs 6 lbs. 4 oz. as of last week. That is the most he has ever weighed. He is getting better and taking his bottles and is drinking on average, about 2 to 3 oz. His preemie clothes are starting to get snug on him although many still fit well. Way to go baby Erik! You are a miracle like no other!
