37 Weeks (Gestational Age)




Brady is 37 weeks. He weighed 4 lbs. 15.7 oz. ....ooooooo....almost 5 lbs.! LOL! Nurse Laura, one of our favorites, thinks Brady will go home Wednesday or Thursday. We are taking his car seat in tomorrow for testing. Brady will have to sit in it for an hour with no heart rate drops. Hopefully, he will handle it just fine:) Dave and I took a couple of Steve's famous cakes in for the NICU staff today. They loved them...who doesn't though, right? LOL! Steve, you are the bestest grandpa & "dad" ever! We love you.
Can't wait to bring our baby home:)
Love to all and many thanks for continued prayers.

  1. Kari and Dave, read your heartwarming post before turning in last night. What a hopeful way to close out the week!! As you open this one, may Brady easily pass the carseat challenge -- and take his long-saved place in the family "limo" toward home within just a few days. Love from Maryland to "Team Brady Barr."

  5. Blessings have come your way and you will receive many more once he come home. Catherine was 5 1bs and 1 oz when we brought her home after her NICU extended stay.Thought I would surely "break" her LOL but she had that ultimate cuddle factor going on so be ready for lots of little cuddle time. Many Huggzz, Linda and Catherine
