Ari was 41 weeks on May 1st so that is his new birthdate-- at least for the time being. So he is almost a month old and is tracking with his eyes. It is nice having a preemie as the 2nd child...it gives me a sense of relief because I know what a normal full term baby does and I can see where Ari is at and he feels very much like a normal full term baby. Of course he is not and there are precautions being taken but I mean more developmentally. He is doing well and it feels good. He is a great breast feeder..has accomplished eating all day via breast and only 2 bottles to give him a tad extra calories and vitamins. He is gaining weight appropriately and is in newborn size clothing..some preemie pants still but mostly fitting into newborn clothes quite nicely. I have been a bit sad about Austin lately..wishing there was something more I could of done or just wish he had his little brother..I edited this photo to see what they would look like. I think it is a very special photo.
