Kangaroo Care, also known as 'skin to skin' was a success tonight!! We tried sometime last week but it only lasted for about a minute before Jett forgot to breath twice. 
Finally on our second try I held him in the kangaroo position for a half hour! 
He also is weighing in at 2 pounds and 7.7 ounces! He's getting 'fatter' and his skin is baby soft now instead of the thin, leathery feel. 
All good signs of progress and now we are just working on letting him grow until he can go home! (:

Finally!!! We have a savings account set up for baby Jett! You can go to any Wells Fargo Bank and deposit any amount that you desire and no fees will be charged. The account is under Jett Wilson and Jennifer McAdoo. Sorry it has taken so long, but my 16 month old is not always cooperative! lol Thank you to everyone that has helped out with gifts so far. They are appreciated and put to good use. Please let Jennifer know if you have questions and let Eva and Travis focus on themselves and Jett. You can message this page or email me personally.  (jenscookingpad@yahoo.com.)  

Thanks to all of his fighter pilots!!!

It was bath time tonight! And he was silent the whole time! Still haven't heard him cry (besides when he was born, but I was fairly drugged up so I can barely remember) the nurses said he's waiting until he gets home to scream in mommy's face  lol.  ~Eva 

Breathe.1.2.3.

Today was the day! 
Jett's breathing ventilator has been removed early this morning! He is now breathing on his own and being assisted with nasal oxygen in case he forgets to take some breaths, like all premies do. YAHOO!
We want to say thank you to everyone for praying so hard for our little man! The love and support is so overwhelming and greatly appreciated. We are so happy we could share this journey with friends and family! (:  ~ Eva and Travis

March 6th

In 6 days our handsome Jett will be one month old! Can't ya'll believe it?? I sure can't! 
...With that being said, I've waited almost a month to hold our precious son and tonight I received news that tomorrow is the day! The day I can hold him and give him all the kisses in the world! I will only be allowed 15-30 minutes depending on how well Jett will handle it. At his gestation age (31weeks+2days) babies are very sensitive to touch, sound and light. All of this can affect his breathing, etc. So we hope for the best and ask for continued prayers tonight and tomorrow as we start an exciting, new journey!
Jett is up to 5cc's of breast milk and will continue to receive 1cc to each feeding everyday. Which means his little tummy is tolerating the feedings and we come closer to getting the breathing and feeding tubes out!

Thank you to Destiny Frye Photography who offered us a free NICU session so that we could look back and always remember this moment we've waited so long for. Tomorrow she'll be there capturing every moment, and I'll be able to share these beautiful pictures with you all as well.

March 3rd:

Today we learned that God healed our little boy who no longer has pneumonia! Which means he is also been taken off his antibiotics and his right lung that was once collapsed and expanded is working properly and doing it's job again. Jett's feedings are up to 3 ml's of breast milk now and on top of the great news, he is ALMOST TWO POUNDS! (Only 2 ounces to reach 2 pounds)

Today was all smiles and particularly a great evening with our little dude!
