Holding Toby for the First Time
Posted on October 10, 2007There’s nothing sweeter in life than holding your baby for the first time! And when you get to show off your bundle of joy to his godparents, it’s even sweeter.
We arrived at the NICU to find that Toby had been moved from NICU #1 to NICU #2. The difference between these two NICU’s is that new babies and the sicker ones all stay in NICU #1. When the babies start getting better, they get moved to NICU #2 and that is where Toby had been moved.
The nurse also told us that Toby is now a whopping 2 pounds, 5.5 ounces and his feedings have been increased from 20 mL to 22 mL every 3 hours.
Thank you to everyone who has been praying – keep it coming because it’s working!
