January 4th - Getting bigger every day

Ryan is getting bigger each day. Today he was 1065 grams, almost 2lbs 6oz. 18 days old today! He is now in a newborn diaper. It is huge on him. His nurse had to get the larger size because the preemie diaper was crushing his stomach. His feet are 2 inches long!

I was able to spend nearly 3 hours of cuddle care with him. That is the most wonderful thing right now. It is skin to skin contact. Great for both of us.

Today was the first day he coughed! He sneezed for the first time on Thursday.

We started to hear him cry Saturday the 29th. Its such a tiny cry. He sounds like a little kitten. After they extebated him, his throat was sore and it took him a little while to start crying. Now we can hear him wimper and whine. Its so adorable. We are so proud of him. He is so perfect!
