He did it! Jacob is now 3 lbs. 1.7 oz (he was 3lbs. 0.7 oz this morning)! The nurses were so happy and shared our excitement for Jacob. This is another great milestone. We are so proud of him!Oh...one more thing, he also grew an inch longer!
Jacob is doing well...he's making good progress. Feeding amounts (27 mL) are still the same, but the doctor decided to start him on supplemental vitamins, such as folic acid, iron, Vit. E?, multivitamin, etc.; things he wouldn't get from breastmilk alone. His milk is also fortified to give him additional calories. We hope he can tolerate all of these additions to his diet. Tonight, we learned that he had a little spit up after his feeding...about 1-2 mL. We worry about these things...we hope he's okay.
We want to thank everyone for their thoughtful prayers, cards, and gifts. It has helped Jacob tremendously and has strengthened our family too. Jacob is doing such a great job for his age. One of the nurses (Suzy) referred to him as the "Miracle Baby Unlimited!" Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Heavenly Father has a marvelous plan for this little guy of ours...just wait and see...he has touched so many of us already, especially his mom. =)

This is the best news I have heard all weekend! Thank you for sharing Jacob's multiple milestones.
There is definitely a grand plan in place for this little guy and I cannot wait to hear and see how everything unfolds. God. Is. Good.
Being a parent of a micro preemie is a huge job - and God definitely got it right when he gave this job to you and Jeremiah. Only extra special people are blessed with this responsibility.
We are cheering you on everyday!
