Manti Update

It is so hard for me to believe that little Manti will be 7 weeks on Friday! I am so happy to tell you all that he has been off oxygen now for three weeks and we have not ended up at the doctor's office or emergency room at all this month! I did have him weighed yesterday and he is finally up to 7 pounds 3 ounces and 20 inches, we are finally making progress! One thing the doctor's did tell us, because Manti was premature and on oxygen he is at a higher risk of getting RSV! With the RSV season rapidly approaching, Manti will have to get a shot every month from October to April to help prevent the virus. Last year when traveling during the holiday season Sebastien caught RSV and it was NO fun! At least we know what to watch for this time around.

Manti is starting to figure out night time is for sleeping (thank goodness) and is only waking up for two feedings. Sometimes they only last 10 minutes because he is so tired but then we have times when he gets a burst of energy and will stay awake for an hour or two. I usually go down stairs and rock with him in the recliner to avoid waking Troy and Sebastien. The last thing I need is for Sebastien to wake up and be a crank pot!

Here are a few updated pictures of Manti...
