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.

adjusting to home
Lucas has fit right into our family over the last two weeks. He has been sleeping and pooping and crying like a regular baby. His eating is getting better in that he doesnt choke very often and he's breathing while he drinks from the bottle like normal babies do, but he still only attempts to eat 2-3 times a day. When he does eat, he takes 1/2 to a whole bottle which is good. His g-tube site has healed well and our follow up is with the surgeon on Tuesday. They may replace his tube with a fresh one which is just a little more complicated than changing a belly button ring... So, not too bad. The doggies are a little jealous of the attention - mostly Suka, but are also enjoying being let out in the middle of the night. They don't mind his crying at all. We have taken our first walk, first zoo trip, a few baths at home. Lucas is still gaining weight and doing well. We see the pediatrician tomorrow to see about changing his feeding volumes & maybe formula, but nothing major. Lucas has been a bit fussy, but we think he's just growing. We won't be updating the blog as often because our hands are full and there isnt as much to report, but as we get updates on eating, eye doctor and skeletal survey I will post. Most likely it will be mainly pictures.
