Just a quick update. Brecken is kind of keeping the status quo right now. Brecken hasn't made any significant changes but also hasn't had any real problems. This was sort of expected at this point though. The next big steps will be for Brecken to gain some weight and become a little more independent. Since he has stabilized they have moved him into an isolete to make him feel a little more secure and secluded.
However as parents we have made some progress...last night we were able to hold our baby for the first time. This was a big step for us.

This video brings both joy and sorrow to us. Brecken is crying which obviously means he is not happy but it is one of the first times that he has been able to cry.

What a mixture of emotions! What a sweet boy. There will be so many more holds and cuddles in your future. Preemie cries are so special because it means they are getting strong! What a sweet sound it is.
