Happy Valentine's! (belated). :). Things are going well at the Weigle household! Jack has been sleeping a little better at night, so Matt and I have been able to get a few 4-5 hour stints of sleep in.
Jack is up to 10 lbs now... Getting chunky! He got his 4-month vaccines last week and we are headed back tomorrow to get his second round of the RSV vaccine.
We went to the pulmanologist today and it was a good visit. From the apnea monitor downloads, the doctor was able to tell that Jack is still occasionally having a few apnea spells. He says that is completely normal for how premature he was. He does think Jack may be able to come off of the oxygen soon- Jack will do a sleep study at Texas Children's in the next week to confirm if he's ready to be off the oxygen. I'll go with him and we'll have a 4 hour study at TCH. He said that even if he does come off oxygen, we'll keep the apnea monitor until Jack can go 5 days without having an apnea, and at least for another month once he is off the oxygen so they get enough time to monitor. Matt and I are at the point where we do feel comfortable with the monitor, so we are ok with that. It will be nice when all of the cords are gone though!
My brothers were able to come and meet Jack in the last two weeks, so that was lots of fun. Jack will be able to meet his cousins at Jack's baptism at the end of April, so we can't wait for that!
Will post some pics tomorrow!
