This is a blog about Lucas Matthew Sharp. Born after just 25 weeks of gestation, he's a little fella who needs a lot of love and support.

Lucas is still doing really great. He has the most interesting expressions and noises which I'm sure any first time parent discovers. Its awesome seeing his tiny face! He has already switched off the high flow oxygen down to the low flow oxygen at room % and is expected to remain on it for some time. This is also great news because he's progressed so well in just a week. He will finish his steroid treatment on Tuesday. The doctor stated that some baby's have to go up on their oxygen and support needs when this happens (back to high flow possibly) but Lucas is doing so well that I have high hopes he won't have to. Soon they'll be switching him back to feeding only once every three hours. After he is 34 weeks old, we will start working towards bottle/breast feeding. Lucas weighed in at 1080 grams or 2.38 pounds ( 2 lb 6 oz). He's getting bigger too!
