Oxygen Shmoxygen

We have survived the first few days without oxygen! And Cohen has done really well. We keep looking at him and thinking "Oh, we should plug him back in" just because we are so used to always having him on his oxygen. But, we have been enjoying being able to take him anywhere in the house without worrying about whether he will reach or what he will get stuck on. We don't have to pull his "leash" around and he can wear any of his pajamas that he wants. Even the ones with the zippers because there is no tubing to have to put down his clothes and out the bottom (so that if he rolls over he doesn't get tangled in his tubing). We don't have to worry about whether the oxygen tank ran out or whether we remembered to actually turn on the tank. Soon we will be able to cross our Tuesday oxygen call and our Wednesday oxygen delivery off our lists too. And the BEST part is that his poor little face doesn't have to have those nasty little stickies on it anymore! They are so hard on his skin. We are glad to see his whole little face without anything on it.

 This may just be coincidence, but he has actually been eating, sleeping and playing better since it has been off. We'll see if that continues.

 {Gramma brought Cohen cake pops to celebrate his freedom}

Cake pops are kind of Cohen's thing...he got some for his 1 month birthday, his 39 week mark, and his for his Due Date Party too.

We took Cohen on a little walk to Woods and then around to Bender Field because the sun was actually out. We put him straight into the stroller for the first time instead of hooking his carseat into the stroller. He is getting to be such a big boy. I got him a little pair of sunglasses (within my budget :) because whenever I take him outside he just instantly closes his eyes because he isn't used to seeing the light of day and it's too bright. So I thought maybe if he had sunglasses he would be able to look around a little more. They are still kind of big for him, but will probably be perfect by summer!

  1. He really is adorable. And the sunglasses brought a big smile to my face. So glad he is doing well without the oxygen.
