Day 43

Maks is 6 weeks and weighs 2 pounds 9 ounces! He got to have his first photo shoot today. So many people have generously offered their photography services to us, and I didn't know how to pick one. Logan's cousin, Shalee Brown, has taken all of our pictures for us since our engagements, so we decided to keep that tradition going for Maks' first photo shoot. I am hoping to get lots of pictures of Maks and our family from all of our photography friends when he finally comes home!

Thanks, Shalee! We love them!
























Maks did well, but it definitely wore him out. He has struggled to keep his oxygen sats up the rest of the day, and he has had several self-recovered bradys. Once again, it is so hard for me because doing typical newborn things, like taking pictures, is so taxing on him. I just wanted to snuggle with him when we were done, but resting in the incubator is what he needed to recover. He just doesn't have the energy reserves that full-term newborns have. He will get there, though, and soon we will have a photo shoot with the whole family!
