NICU Day 16: 4 POUNDS!!!

Dear Colton,

Today you reached 4 pounds!!! This is such a special day! You have been eating so well by the bottle and by breast and are growing each and every day. Mommy didn't tell Daddy before he came to the hospital tonight so that he could see the certificate the nurses gave to you when he got here. Daddy was so happy and proud of you. After a long day at work, he said this news was the best thing he heard all day.

4 pounds 0.6 ounces!!!
It's hard work getting to 4 pounds!
Your first certificate!
When Daddy fed you tonight you just about passed out when you were done. This is your 'drunk on milk' face.

Overall today was a great day! You continue to progress and we are hopeful we have more days total in the NICU already than we have left in your stay! Fingers crossed buddy!

Funny face
Mommy and Daddy pray everyday that we'll be able to bring you home soon.

Stay strong. We love you buddy!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, & Youkilis
