Another milestone for Jacob


Today was another good day. Jacob started the day pretty agitated with his heartbeat rate higher than usual. The nurses say it's because he was so excited to know that we were there to see him. It made me very nervous and I couldn't help but to worry about him. However, by early afternoon, he was able to rest and get in a good nap. The nurses skipped his morning feeding due to a high volume of residuals from his previous feeding, but when we returned to visit him in the evening, he had NO residuals at all. It was his first without any and we were so happy. It was another milestone for Jacob and we're so proud of how tough he is. Grandpa Sorensen finally saw him today and could not be any happier to see his new grandson doing well in the NICU. Grandma Sorensen sang a lullaby and Jacob felt comforted as he smiled graciously with his eyes closed to her sweet voice. One cute thing that happened today was Jeremiah taking his wedding band and having Jacob hold on to it. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. He is such a good daddy.

It must be so stressful living hour by hour, your mood determined by the latest report from the hospital. I am so glad he is so strong and doing so well. Our prayers are with you and we will call you later!
