Eye exam and birthday

Today carter got his eyes examined. They checked out just fine - immature but that is because they haven't had time to grow that much yet. All in all, he's right on schedule in terms of where he's supposed to be.

He gained up to 2lbs 13oz. You may be saying to yourself, "hmm nick, I thought he was that weight the other day." Well you're both right and wrong: he did weight 2lbs 13oz but that was with his fighter pilot helmet on (c-pap). This time it's all Carter. 3 oz away from 3lbs!

Today was both his 1 month birthday in real world terms and his 31 week mark for gestational age. For his 1 month birthday, his nurse gave him a big boy pacifier and he loves it!

Tomorrow he starts his journey to 31 weeks. Just another day for our little fighter. He handles it like he could do this in his sleep - turns out he actually does most of the time.

Our friend Sarah gave us a very thoughtful present today. It's a picture that says "Keep calm and kangaroo on" and I've attached a pic of it - we thought it was mighty original! It looks great in his room.
