Brady Ashton is 26 weeks (gestational age). The doctor's and nurses will refer to his age as if he were still in the womb. He weighs 1 lb. 13 oz.
Today, Dave and I were able to hold Brady for 30 minutes each. I can't believe how little he is...his entire bottom fit in my hand and I have small hands. Brady did great the entire time we were holding him. He only became a bit fussy the last 5 minutes Dave was holding him. His little cries aren't loud at all. It is hard to hear them. The nurse put him back in his bed on his side and he was still a bit wound up so Dave put his hand on Brady's head and I put my hand on Brady's bottom and patted with my index finger. He was calm in about 2 or 3 minutes and resting peacefully. So precious.
Daddy made sure he was wrapped in style with his Tarheel Blankie. The nurses made sure his hat matched his blanket...LOL! They are so sweet:)
Brady had a great day today. If he does well overnight, I will be able to hold him again tomorrow:)
We have posted photos below.
