The Arkansas Grandparents make a visit!

Graham was so excited to see Granny and Papa from Arkansas for Thanksgiving.  My parents were able to stay a whole week with us over the holiday!  Steven and I loved the extra help.  Graham is just growing by leaps and bounds.  Steven and I say everyday that it almost seems like we can actually see him growing before our very eyes!  Here's some recent photos.

Graham's most recent weight...

7 pounds 2 ounces!

"Do you hear what I hear?"

"Papa....please give me my binky...I can't survive without it!"

"Hello Granny!  Good to see ya!"

"Thanks Grandma Devlin for my cute Christmas outfit!"

FUN VIDEOS!!

Graham says hi

Graham's first toy...that he's noticed :)

Graham loves moving his hands around!  I thought today I would try placing this little teddy bear in front of him to see what he thought.  I like this toy because it's a teddy bear and a blanket.  He was definitely looking at it, and sometimes his hands hit it by mistake.  The pictures are so cute!

Due to popular demand...more pictures of little Graham!

Sorry the posts aren't as frequent.  As a new-at-home mommy, i'm still trying to figure out the whole multi-tasking concept!  Here are some of our favorite pics from this past week.

Little Treasure

Graham is a beautiful little gift from the Lord!  Steven and I have been so excited for the past week, finally having our little angel home.  We've been able to bond with Graham in a way that we were never able to in the NICU.  Even the sleepless nights we don't mind, because we have our little gem home.  We are both completely overwhelmed that the Lord would let us care for such an amazing little guy. 

We went to the doctor last week and Graham is officially 6 pounds!  He's been eating and sleeping a lot, so I'm hoping his weight gain will just continue to soar.  Here are a few pictures from our first week home. 

He's already a little Arkansas Razorback fan!!!

Home Sweet Home!!!

Tonight, after 78 days in the Sharp Mary Birch NICU, Graham came home for the first time.  He weighs 5 pounds, 12 ounces, and is all smiles (except when he gets hungry.  I'm the same way).  To say the least, we're absolutely thrilled!!  God has been so faithful to lead us through these past 78 days. 

Graham's nurses have been wonderful.  Brooke, Joanne, and Judith, his primary nurses, are probably angels.  And the outpouring of love and encouragement from all of you has been overwhelming.  To all of you who have been praying for our precious little guy, from the bottom of our hearts... THANK YOU.

Graham's smiles

Graham is doing well!  We're hoping any day now that the doc will give us the word that he can come home.  The doctors want to be absolutely certain that he's in good health before he comes home.  He's spending much more time awake now than he used to.  His nurse today said his big appetite is back. 

We'll continue to keep you posted!
