Tubbie Time!!!!!

Today was an exceptional day! Bryce has finally hit the 1000 gram mark! Thats the magic number in the NICU. And because of that (and the fact that he is a little stinker) he got to have his first tubbie!!!! Honestly it was the cutest thing I have ever seen! At first he cried just for a quick second and then I think he realized he liked it because he was relaxing in the tubbie the rest of the time! Then after his tubbie I was able to give him a little massage, and of course like a typical male he LOVED that! I have pictures! (of course) Some of the pictures look red because when Anne was giving him his bath she put him under heat lamps to keep him warm and they gave off a red light.
Also some more good news (knock on wood) it seems his ROP may have gone away.. Not sure how but they said it did! Must be all the praying, so keep it up! Theres no other explanation for it! I'm not sure why I deserved to be so blessed. I mean we are in a pretty crappy situation but under the circumstances we have been pretty lucky... When I was in the hospital for the 4 weeks trying to keep him in all I heard day after, day, after day was that #1 I either would not stay pregnant long enough for him to even have a chance or #2 If I did make far enough that he probably wouldn't survive and so the docs wanted me to just induce labor the first day I was there and just let it go.... Well THANK GOD I didn't! Now look at what I have..... He may be tiny and he may have a few "things" going on, but to me he is the most perfect little baby and he is doing pretty good under the circumstances! He is obviously a fighter and wants to be part of this family and world as much as we want him to! I am so glad we didn't let the doctors convince us that we had NO chance. The way I looked at it was if it wasn't meant to be it wouldn't be, but I wasn't going to be the one to decide it wasn't going to be... If that makes any sense. I'm sure you know what I mean. To me all three of my kids are miracles in their own way and Bryce is no exception...... I am so thankful that I have/had the support from family and friends to be able to even get this far because if it wasn't for all of you I would not have been able to get here! Thank you to everyone for you support & prayers, I couldn't have done it with out you all! Oh also for those of you that I owe thank you cards to, they're coming I just haven't had a spare minute to get to them, but I promise I will! :) So anyway please continue to pray for us, its definitely what is getting us through...
