Oliver-6weeks

Oliver turned six weeks old Monday, and now weighs 3lbs 10 ozs., yes I call him my big boy now.  My son Chris sent me a email today with this picture entitled - Clothes, yes his first day of wearing clothes.  They had went over the weekend to try to find some premiere sizes, buts found they are a little hard to find.  I had went to a yard sale friday and found sizes newborn-12 mos. all in good condition and a few little blankets.  I had washed and dried them and was folding them thinking how nice it was to have a baby in the house again.  This past weekend I sent my antique full bed to my oldest son's house for his guest bedroom, and started working on Oliver's room, it is coming along really nice, I am going to be putting one of those 4-1 cribs in there.  I had hung an old reprodution red shelf in there, added a little table and chair, and of course all the little decorating items for a little boys room.  I have a long shelf up high I am planning to look for antique toys to display up there.  I will post pictures soon after I have done a little more tweaking of his room.  Just thought I would let everyone know he is doing well and they have increased his eating to 20 mil. which is about 4 teaspoons every 3 hrs.  He moves around a lot and my son said that while holding him the other night he pushed off his chest and picked his head up and looked up at him.  My husband and I go up every Friday night and visit with him, most of the time he is sleeping, I want to hold him so bad lately, hopefully it want be long before he comes home, I told my son maybe he will be home in time for my 33rd wedding anniversary which is on July 15th or my birthday on July 17th, wouldn't that make a very special gift.  Everyone take care and have a great weekend, I know I will I will be going to see my Big Boy, Oliver.   Hugs   Vicky

  7. Vicky, I am so glad for the update on little Oliver. He is so precious. Can't wait for you to have him home. We almost had the same wedding anniversary Ours being on July 13. We will be married 38 years. Congrats. in advance. Wouldn't that be a great gift, what more could you ask if Oliver was home on either date. But.... any day will be special when he gets to leave the hospital. I am sure he will feel your love altho you can't hold him yet. Take care and thanks for letting us hear from him.
