My first grandchild, hoping he gets to come home for Christmas
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
My first grandchild, Mathew. Born premature Oct 17th, Weighing in at 2 1/2 lbs, he is now 4lbs and we are crossing our fingers that he can be home for Christmas.
Last week was the first time I was allowed to touch his bedding. I have never held him and that is all that I want. To kiss his little head for the first time.

Hi Angela,
Matthew is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing his picture. He really looks like he is thriving. It might be best if he remains at the hospital for the holidays, in order to prevent him from being exposed to germs (with all the socializing that happens during this time of year). Don't be too upset if he must remain there. After all, you want what's best for him. I'm sure you'll be able to make up for all the kisses and caresses when he does come home.
All my best,
£eslie

Angela,
He looks so good. I'm happy you were able to see him. You'll be snuggling up to that baby in no time. Mmmm...I just love the smell of their sweet baby hair after a bath.
Good advice from Leslie though. I know in our area we are getting hit hard with viruses.
His color looks so good!! How far away does he live from you?

Re: My first grandchild, hoping he gets to come home for Christmas
Thanks everyone. It has been a long haul from him being so small and fragile in the incubator born at 28 weeks. Now he is breathing on his own and maintaining his own heat. He lives in the same city as I and if he needs to be in the hospital longer then I will wait and do as advised. His health and well being is foremost.
It is so difficult to go and visit all these times and not be able to touch, but he is thriving and out of danger now and soon we will all be able to cuddle him as a baby should be held.
I am so grateful to all the forces that brought him to the point where he is today and that he is going to be okay. I really do feel blessed with a miracle Angel in my life.

Re: My first grandchild, hoping he gets to come home for Christmas
What a sweetie! Congratulations Angela, he's looking good even though he's still pretty tiny, and it will be worth the wait even if he's kept in over Christmas.
You're going to LOVE being a grandma!

Congratulations, Angela! I hope you get to hold him for Christmas, but I'm sure the joy of getting to hold him for the first time, even if it is after Christmas, will be unlike anything else! I'm so glad he's thriving now!
