Jacob is a week old today....

Jacob Aaron arrived at 9:09am on Friday, Aug. 21st. He weighed 5lbs6oz and was 17.5 inches long. We had a rough go at the begining because Jacob's lungs were pretty premature, but he is doing much better. He is still on a little bit of oxygen, but the dose is small and hopefully by tomorrow he will be off the machine. He is feeding like a champ and loves to eat. So far he has no problems getting the suck, swallow and breathing down and he is holding his body temp just fine. We are hoping he will come home sometime next week.

Here are some pictures
