April Showers

Well....it has been a long time since we posted! oops! Here's a picture of Auggie enjoying some sunlight earlier this week.

As of today, Auggie is 5 weeks post due date. He is doing much better lately than even 4 weeks ago. He went through a really rough patch. As a preemie, Auggie struggles with gas as a result of his immature/maturing gut. He still has a lot of gas - but he is better able coordinating what he needs to do to pass his gas. For a few weeks when he was younger, his gas was so bad that he would go days at a time sleeping only 15-20 mins. It was heartbreaking to watch the poor little guy work so hard on all that gas!

Auggie has exploded (growth wise) in the past two weeks. Not even two weeks ago, Auggie still fit in newborn clothes and had room to grow. As of today, he has almost grown out of his 3 month clothes! We go to the pediatrician Tuesday and will find out how much he weighs now - but mom and dad think he must be close to 10lb. We will write more after his appointment next week. For now, enjoy this video of Auggie working on his neck strength.
