Its kind of a big deal!!!

So we went to the doctor yesterday for Jackson to have his three month adjusted check up. He weighed in at 14.7 lbs and the doctors actually said he isn't eating enough. Can you believe it? My jaw nearly dropped to the floor when she said that. So over the next week we have to increase him to 5oz. I had this fear that they would say something about his head shaping wrong but he is doing just fine in that department. Otherwise he is doing great, lungs sound wonderful and everything is growing just the way it should. Then she said the words I have patiently waiting for," Its time to start weaning off the oxygen." Its like a choir stood behind me and sang, " Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah" I wanted to jump up and down with excitement but didn't as they might have thought I was nuts.

As soon as we got home I took the nasal cannula off his nose and he lasted a whole minute. It wasn't much but it was a start. Today I got home from work and I didn't take the cannula out I just turned the oxygen concentrator off. He lasted 17 minutes!!!!!! Were talking no oxygen people. Thats a huge deal for us!! So yes I did jump up and down, did a little jig, then sang a song to my little man that I am so proud of!!!.

Heres another picture of my tiny now mighty fighter!
