New Pictures!


This is from last weekend when little Max was about twice his birth weight!



So swollen.. luckily he was able to pee alot with the help of some lasic. :-) Note the cute little hairdo.



His lovely nurse turned him on his side on Thursday and he looked so comfy! Note the shrinking baby in there. I was excited to see he has elbows.


Sucking on the breathing tubes.



Sleepy time.. of course if you were on 3 sedatives you would be sleepy too.




Family picture from yesterday. We are so proud of our sweet baby boy!

It's so good to hear and see that he's getting less and less swollen. And don't worry about him opening his eyes for mama. He hears your voices and feels your touch and that's enough for him now. The pictures are just amazing!!! We love reading your updates.
