Two whole pounds at 6 weeks old

Skyler has taken a few steps forward, a few steps backward, and then a few steps forward again with gaining weight. Today he has finally made it up to two pounds! He will be 6 weeks old tomorrow/ 29 weeks gestation. They sure grow up fast, don't they?:)

They put him on a nasal inhale pressure ventilation, or NIPV, once he got off the ventilator. It gave him pressure to help him keep his lungs from collapsing between each breath so he doesn't have to work as hard. It also gave him oxygen and a few breaths if he needs it.
He did so well on it that a few days later they switched him to the CPAP machine! It's a CPAP bubble; it doesn't give him any breaths, just pressure and oxygen. He's been on the CPAP machine for six days now and he's doing amazing on it. We are so proud of him.

Here are some pictures of him weighing two pounds.
