Raptor is doing GREAT!! He is off of everything (as you can see :)) except for a feeding tube and an IV!! I got…

So adorable! I love his hair! & so glad to hear you finally got to hold him, skin to skin:) hope all goes well from here on! Lots of hugs & kisses mama!!

He is beautiful, glad to hear he is doing so good!

Thanks ladies, I'm on my way there now! So excited to see him.

Bex3 my recovery isn't going so well. I am feeling horrrrrible. I'm still in so much pain and i am just exhausted emotionally and physically. It's really really hard. I will get there though I'm making small improvements everyday!!

so glad all is well and wish you luck with the breastfeeding :)

how is your recovery going?

Yay! :) good luck on trying to breastfeed! He looks so strong I'm sure he will be able to pick it up quick! :)

Thank you mommas! I know, his hair absolutely melts my heart! So much of it and so blonde!!

I CANNOT WAIT to get to the NICU this morning. I get to start trying to breast feed him today.

So handsome

Congrats he is so gorgeous I love his hair too! Glad he is doing so well. I can't imagine having to leave my baby in the hospital, must be hard but at least you know he is doing great!! Happy for you!

He is so precious congrats again :)

? Haha thanks Lauren!!

*his

He is so cute. Im so happy hes doing good. And btw I think hes name is soooooooo freaken cool:) lol

Aaww!! Glad Raptor is doing well!! He's so adorable.

You ladies all make me feel even more optimistic!! :) he is the cutest thing I've ever seen and gets cuter every day.

As for spending time with him, I can spend as much time in the NICU as I want! I can only hold him skin to skin once a day for now, he can also only be held for about an hour to an hour and a half at a time... but those things will change soon hopefully! The doctor also told me today that I can actually start trying to breast feed him! He might not have a strong enough suck to get anything yet, but it will introduce him to how to do it! I went down twice yesterday and will be going for my second trip today in just about an hour or so! I miss my little man, leaving him is so hard, I can't even describe how much it breaks my heart every time I leave there. But seeing him is the best, most rewarding thing in the world.

Aww so cute and congrants! That was a very good weight I would say by middle of nov he looks so good ;)

I hope you get to bring home your little Turkey for Thanksgiving! My nephew was born at 3lbs 14oz and he only had to stay in the hospital for one month!

Well i hope he gets too cime hime hone befir thanksgiving(: goodluck.

Mommylovebug we aren't sure! They aren't even sure! The standard time they tell you is to plan on their due date, which his was dec 12! However, he could come home earlier or later just depending on how he is doing! But everyone is pretty positive he will be coming home earlier than that! We are kind of hoping for around thanksgiving! :)

How long does he hav to b there for?
