3 Months "Corrected"

Our sweet boy was 3 months "corrected" on November 2nd!!  He is weighing in now at a whopping 15 lbs 14 oz and is 24.75 inches long!!  I can't believe how fast he is growing ... it makes this Momma sad!  He is even in some 6-12 month clothing already!

As for Crew's appointments, everything is going great!  We had another normal lab work-up with the Hematologist so we have been dismissed from him unless Crew shows us any signs that might cause us concern (fevers, sores in the mouth, nose bleeds, constant colds, etc).  YEAH!!! Knock on wood, he has not come down with any illnesses yet!!

He is still on oxygen while he sleeps and that continues to be ok ... it's not his favorite thing but he is getting used to it!  I will see the Pulmonologist again here soon to discuss why it is he thinks Crew hasn't outgrown his need for the oxygen.  He mentioned maybe doing a sleep study on Crew to see exactly why he needs it.  We also recently saw the Neurologist and we have decided, along with his Pulmonologist, that we will wait to do a MRI on him until he is 6 months corrected.  So, we are looking at maybe February for that.  His doctor wants to do a contrast MRI and he will need to be sedated so it will most likely be an overnight procedure so that he can be monitored.  The poor guys also had his immunizations this past month and boy did he hate that!!  He went from happy to MAD in about 1 second and he took a while to calm after the fact ... he was pretty upset!  Oh yah, still no SVT!!!!!!!!

Crew continues to love his interaction with us ... the toys don't quite do it (he requires just a little attention:)!! He giggled for me for the first time last week and it brought tears to me eyes ... it was the sweetest sound I think I have ever heard!  We spent the rest of the day trying to get him to do it again with no luck.  Nee Nee has since found a tickle spot on him on his back that makes him giggle if he is in the right mood!  He is still pretty selfish with his giggles!  He is also starting to grasp things if they are close to his hands ... he isn't quite reaching for things yet, but almost!  He has recently figured out how to complain and has a new sad cry that would just about break anyone's heart ... it works for Momma that's for sure! Crew discovered his hand and fingers the other day and when they catch his eye, he will watch them closely.  He rolls front to back and we are currently working on back to front!  He also still loves the car and the stroller ... thankfully!!

We tried our hardest to get a smile out of him for his monthly picture and this was the best we could do!  He has figured out the "camera" thing ... when it comes out, he stops smiling and just stares.  Almost like he knows what it is we want!
