Nana Holds Gavin for the First Time

Today Nana (Ben's mom) got to hold Gavin for the first time. And yes we have pics and video! Gavin is doing great....he had a few episodes of apnea and he gained 3 oz.....so now he weighs 2lbs 15oz. Since he was so close to 3lbs the nurse let his Nana hold him. He was just looking at her and looking around. He loved being talked to and was eating up all the attention he was getting from his Nana. After his Nana and Papa left, he started having his apnea episodes...he had 3 at the end of our visit. Its so hard going through them....soooo scary. I'll never get use to hearing those monitors going off like crazy. The nurse was so calm and not even worried and here I was freaking out about it trying to stay calm on the outside. Its scary because if the alarms weren't going off then we would never know he was having apnea. Anywho....here are some pics from today.

Awwwwwwwwwww! I looooove that mom got to hold him!

The apnea will get better as he gets older but use that alarm when he comes home just in case.

Did mom steal his eyebrows and take off with them? Hee hee!

hahahaha! They are blonde so you can't see them. Ben always has to run his finger over them when he is around to make sure they are still there. lol
