Cruise Control

Jackson is 2 months old! Wow! We feel like time has gone so fast, but in the slowest way possible. I know that does not make sense, but it feels like both. Our little man amazes us every time we see him - he's looking much more filled out, and his little personality is just coming through more and more. Both of us have been able to recognize some of this personality traits, and things that he likes and does not like. He LOVES his pacifier! He does NOT like to be woken up (I'm hoping this means he'll be a great sleeper) He is content most of the time, and will occasionally be awake for a period of time and just like to look around - we catch him staring at his tubes every once and a while - It's pretty darn cute because he has to cross his eyes to focus on it. He LOVES to be held by mom and dad...and his mom and dad love to hold him!
Jackson got to experience wearing clothing for the first time! He looks just so darn cute!

Jackson just keeps on growing! He is within an ounce of doubling his birth weight! We are in what the doctors call "cruise control" Not much new happens - he eats, sleeps, and grows and they just let him do his thing.
They have begun to wean him from the CPap - they started him out of a CPap of 10 and is now on a CPap of 8 - once he gets to a 6 or 5, they will put him on High Flow! High flow is much like what adults have when they are put on oxygen. When he gets to this, it will be much easier to hold him and move him around!


Jackson has had a few eye exams over the past few weeks. They have come back with some ROP - which is Retinopathy of prematurity - It has something to do with blood vessels that go to his retina. As of now, he is only in the beginning stages, which most of the time will correct itself after a while. They will continue to monitor the status of his eyes weekly.

Thanks to all of you who continue to read our blog and pray for Jackson - We know we don't know all of you, but we appreciate all of the support!
