Tomorrow Benji will transition to 100% breastmilk feeds. It’s a day we’ve prayed and prayed for 😭

Officially on *some* breastmilk for over 48 hours 🤞🏻 We’ve increased the amount after a clear chest x-ray (during which he fell asleep, as pictured 🤣) and the plan is to increase again tomorrow as long as we see no changes in his breathing - yay Benji!

Well friends, today is the day.

Happy due date, sweet Benji boy! What a precious gift you are ❤️

Look how cute I am without my feeding tube?! 🥹

Some sweet moments from this weekend. While we wait to introduce oral feeds and breastmilk (bub isn’t quite ready yet), we’re just getting to cuddle and love him like a normal baby. And after nearly a month of not being able to hold him at all, we’re both soaking it up ❤️

Benji is OFF breathing supporting of any kind! He is breathing like a completely normal, healthy baby. Less than 2 weeks ago he was ventilated! Praise the freaking Lord.

Both of my babies together ❤️ I can’t wait until this is our every day. (This photo is from Saturday! He’s still on high flow, not CPAP!)

6 weeks after Benji was born and we can finally see his sweet little face 🥹 BYE CPAP!

Remember how Benji came off the ventilator on Friday? Color us shocked, but less than 3 days later he was completely off NAVA + is killing it on CPAP! They’ve been weaning him down so fast because he’s been maintaining his oxygen like a freaking champ. There’s a chance he’ll be moved to high flow tomorrow 🙌🏻 We feel like we can barely keep up, ha!

Well look at that, friends, Benji is ventilator free 😭

You GUYS - Benji is chest drain free. You read that right, NO MORE DRAINS 😭😭😭 Benji has stopped draining any fluid over the last 48 hours, which is WILD.
