Steps Foward and Steps Back
last night at weigh in baby boy was 3lbs 8oz. he's half way to 4lbs. while we were there he wasn't very happy and he had some spells where he stopped breathing. when we asked the nurse how many he had had, he said that he had about 6 that were recorded. (he was taken off the medication at the beginning of the week too.) so when we got there today to see him he was swaddled up and sleeping which made my heart happy and once i spoke with the nurse she let me know that they were putting him back on the medication that helps him to breath because he had way to many episodes. we know that the meds are the best for him and he needs then because he is still a preemie even though he is growing but be in prayer for him because we want him to be better in all areas, especially the breathing one. pray for me and m- too because it's really hard on us and we just need to be better at supporting each other and not getting frustrated with one another.

Oh, my sweet friend! My heart goes out to you. Being parents for the first time is hard enough, yet the circumstances you find yourselves in is one of the most difficult. I will continue to pray. The experience that you're gaining from going through this together is invaluable. Lean on each other but understand that you will respond differently and that's ok. If you can get it right, you'll be surprised at how much stronger your marriage is when some of this is resolved. I love you girl ... hang in there. Don't forget to love on your husband right now too. And, realize that your hormones are still out of whack which means that you can't trust all your emotions ... judge them harshly with truth. All of that comes from what we've recently gone through that was baby-related. Although our situation was very different, it still was difficult and until we accepted each other's handling of it ... we struggled to support each other. Hope that makes sense. I need your email address so I don't have to write such long comments. ;)
