Happy One Month, Baby Bubba!

12 / 5 / 152 / 7 / 16

Baby Bubba is 1 MONTH OLD today! He’s now 31 weeks 6 days corrected and 3 pounds 12 ounces – a full pound more than when he was born. Right now he’s off his CPAP and high flow air, he’s eating like crazy, and growing and gaining exactly like we want him to be. He loves to snuggle, has the sweetest little voice, and his little smile is absolutely heart melting. ♥

After 10 days in hospital downtown, attempting to split my time between home and the NICU {and these two precious little people} never felt so good. ♥

Progress & Seeing the Positives

11 / 12 / 152 / 7 / 16

This journey will undoubtedly be a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, but so far, we’ve had lots of good news regarding our baby boy and I’m choosing to see the positives for what they are and not always be focused on bracing myself for the next hurdle…

Gracen Meets Her Baby Brother

11 / 11 / 152 / 7 / 16

Today Miss G met her baby brother for the very first time. Admittedly, it wasn’t the first meeting I’d imagined in my mind, but she didn’t seem to mind one bit. Her thoughts? ‘Mama. He’s so tiny and cute that he looks just like a doll… But he sure doesn’t feel like a doll. He feels just like a little human being.’

Welcome to the World, Baby Boy!

11 / 8 / 152 / 7 / 16

‘Whirlwind’ doesn’t begin to sum up this past week… A few nights ago, our baby boy decided to surprise us with slightly terrifying arrival at 27 weeks and 4 days. He weighs 2 pounds 12 ounces and has got a long stay in the NICU ahead of him, but he’s doing remarkably well given the circumstances and we’re beyond thankful that he’s in the hands of the amazing NICU team here in Vancouver. He doesn’t have a name just yet {so we continue to call him ‘Baby Salmon’ much to his big sister’s delight}, but he is very much loved. ♥
