Love... my baby

**Julius Paul Wolfe (aka JP)**


Day 3



I love my little Julius Paul Wolfe! His nickname is JP and he is everything to me. He was born on Saturday February 21st, 2009 at 4:17pm. His weight was 4 pds and 12 ounces and was 18 inches long. He is now 4 pds and 5 ounces but is growing strong. We had to stay in the special care nursery and are still here but he is fighting through!! He was 5 weeks early and has not learned the sucking and swallowing methods very well, but he is learning quickly and is doing great. He has jaundice and was on the photo therapy for one day and was able to get off of it today. He went from a 12.6 to a 9, which is completely fine for his size. He is digesting his formula and the colostrum better than he did before so today he was able to get his feeding tube taken out.


Day 2 with mommy

He has been latching on better than before and is keeping the weight. We are hoping to be out of here by Friday, but only if he is doing better. We are praying that he continues to gain the weight he needs to keep body fat on him and learns to feed a little better. So far God has really shown his blessing for us and our faith just continues to grow stronger everyday. Thank you to all of you who have been praying for us. I can't wait for Julius to come home and feel comfortable in his own environment. We have so many people who show so much love and care for us and we are so grateful for everyone who has been there for us. Thanks again and we will keep you posted!

Day 1 Just born

AAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I am absolutely going nuts here. He is so adorable. Love him. Isn't it amazing the love you feel for this little person already? The feeling of protection that sets in right away helps you to understand a mom's love and fear for her baby more than ever. Love you guys.
