Today Leo turned 2 months old. He had an head ultrasound and vaccines today and tomorrow is another eye exam. He is up to 4lbs and 5oz and cute a heck.
I can't believe it has been two months. Really this time has flown by, but it seems like everyday it gets harder to remember a time when I didn't worry every second. I am posting an article in the NY Times about NICU parents. It is comforting to know that other parents feel the same way.

Correction & Update
The last blog Leo was 3lbs 3oz (posted today at 2pm)....Tonight Leo is 3lbs 8oz! Also, he will be 32 gestational weeks on Monday not 31. Steve and I can't believe how different he is since Monday. One of his nurses (Carol) passed me in the hall yesterday and high fived me! Everyone is happy for Leo. It must of been Grandpa Dave's visit and the promise of fishing! Leo is a miracle and we are so blessed to know him.
Mister Leo
Leo is getting to be a big guy! Chubby cheeks even! 3oz and 16.6 inches. This Saturday he will be 7 weeks old and 31 weeks gestational. This has been a great week for us! He was extabated on Monday and graduated to CPAP (oxygen with slight pressure). The apparatus is slightly cumbersome and annoys him, but he is breathing so well. I started back to work on Monday and have been trying to get into a routine. Grandpa Dave visited this past weekend and Leo got meet him. Steve and him had a great time fishing and drinking mass quantities of Harpoon IPA.
