Daddy Holds Toby for the First Time
Posted on November 11, 2007
What a day! Mark got to hold Toby for the first time outside of his incubator today Mark has been a great husband, father and all around Superman this last month letting me spend the majority of the time with Toby. But today, Mark got to spend our visit holding his son!
Toby now weighs 2 lbs., 11.4 oz. His feedings are holding steady at 24 mL. Today he got some extra red blood cells to help him grow big and strong. The doctor might have to repeat this procedure because Toby was born before his body had a chance to get a head start growing his own red blood cells. As the weeks progress however, Toby’s body will be able to make all the red blood cells he needs.
I am so glad that Mark got to hold Toby!@! I am amazed at how much hair Toby has …..He has grown so much and I think it is wonderful that you both have shared this total experience with all of us!@! We have been able to see the progress from the very beginning! Thanks for sharing with us and allowing us to be a part of this wonderful time in your lives…Love to you all…Jymme

I remember the first time I got to hold each of my kids. I was always afraid I was going to drop them! This is a sweet picture!
