Now for your Zane update.
Yesterday was a busy, busy day for us. Kelly had her 2 week doctor check up, I went to a class for NICU parents and grandparents and then we had a tornado warning! Needless to say we never got a chance to log on to the internet and check email or blog. Monday, Zane was moved to a "big boy" bed. He wasn't able to maintain his body temp so he went back to the giraffe bed. He's really too young to try this but he's doing so good the doctor wanted to give it a try. He is also getting one bottle every 24 hours. He plays around with it and may take a little, not a lot. He's too young for this too but Dr. McKee wants him to be introduced to the bottle. His weight went to 4-5 on Monday night and to 4-7 last night! A real porker! The occupational therapist came by today and did Zane's assesment. He passed with flying colors! Friday she will come by and teach Ned & Kelly to do baby massage. In a couple of weeks, when he is at 34 weeks gestation age, the speech therapist will come by and work with him on his bottle sucking technique. He still has a feeding tube and will have it until he can take all his feedings by bottle. Here are some more photos! Enjoy!















Zane is living in the "lilly pad" now, so the frog outfit is sooo appropriate.

  12. I was born 2 and a half months early like Zane. I had a feeding tube and I didn't know how to suck a bottle. I stayed in the NICU for a long time. NOW I am 13 years old. I am on the Cross Country team and run 4 miles Mon Wed and Fri during the summer to stay in shape. I play on the basketball team in the winter and in the spring I will be on the Baseball team (catcher) and the Golf team. I just wish I could be on the tennis team again next year but it overlaps with golf. So hang in there little buddy Zane.

    should have been born in January. Born early- Nov 13, 1995

  13. I was born a month late. It was a lot of trouble but it was worth it just so Kay would always be older than me.

  17. I was born a couple weeks early. They figured I was a boy and had the name Blaine picked out...but then...I did not have one of "those" things and ended up being this spit-fire girl. I weighed 7lb 2 oz When they FINALLy came up with Courtney, it's said that the rest of the family did not care for it because they only knew boys with that name. YA WEIRD! But I'm also not a big fan of the name Courtney, and still at 27 I ask my mom if I can change it to just COURT....she says no:(
