hitting the charts

If you are on my facebook, you have seen my post about Sol's weight chart. I am pretty excited about it, he is almost hitting the charts! Which is amazing to me! We knew with Lua that she probably wouldnt hit the charts because of the lack of muscle, she either did hit it right before she passed away or she was just about to, I can't remember. But Sol, almost 7 weeks old, is getting pretty close to hitting the charts! I had just talked to the doctors about his weight and if they wanted him on the charts or if the lack of muscle comes into play, or what they wanted to see. Previously they told me that he seems to be making his own curve on the chart and as long as he was gaining, that was the important thing. So then last week I asked this question, and the neonatologist said she had talked to the pulmonary doctor and she said to not expect him to be on the charts. They don't have enough kiddos to know exactly what the normal rang would be for them, so it is okay if he doesn't ever get on the charts or anything. But then the neonatologist showed me his chart and she said, except he is inching his way onto the charts and if he keeps going on this path he will for sure be on the charts. The last three days he gained 86 grams, 50 grams, and 58 grams last night! He must seriously want to get home! So this is great and exciting news! I really don't expect him to gain much tonight, as long as he doesnt lose! that would be great! We don't want him to get just fat going on so we dont want him gaining too much, but what he is doing now is looking really good! I'm very proud and can't believe he is so close to hitting the charts.

I am terribly sad that I am still home and not with him :( It is really hard to be far from him. I am trying to just finish everything I need to this week so I won't have to make any other trips back home before he gets to go home, if I can do that then I will be happy with our short trip back home, but if I don't get everything done and have to make another trip before we go home, I'll be pretty bummed out. But my mom is doing a great job being with Sol. I heard someone told her she gets the grandma of the year award... That is Totally true!!

I ended up facetiming my mom while she was holding Sol this evening, when I started talking I could see his little eyes looking all around, almost like he was looking for me! I don't really think he was, but he timed it pretty well and makes me miss him SO MUCH. I am aching to get back to him! 
And when we get back, I am really anxious to get a family picture of us all. I was able to get a big picture of Lua made up and framed so we can finally add her to some of our pictures. Gone but never forgotten.
