Today was Reed's baby shower and there was close to 100 people there! I made the 2 cakes and although it took me upwards of 6 hours, it was well worth it because Kaylie & Ryan loved it! Reed weighs 2 pounds 10 ounces today!
Our little Reed is officially one week old. The results of his ECHO showed a PDA (patent ductus arteriosus) and an ASD (atrial septal defect) but both are mild and require no intervention right now. He is taking 4ml of breast milk down his NG tube every 3 hours and weighs 1100 grams today which translates to about 2 pounds 7 ounces. He is allowed to be taken out of his isolette to be held now and he loves to be cuddled. I went down on my break and he was wide awake for me and HUNGRY....he was trying to shove both his hands in his mouth along with my finger. Kaylie got her staples out yesterday and gets her braces on today.
