O my Gosh... the pictures of him and Ainsley are so cute. I'm not going to lie I almost cried!! Ha ha! Little Bobby is in our prayers and I know he will be home soon! I can't wait to hold him I wish I was there now so that I could hold him!!
THANKS for the update, I have been worrying about Bobby and Jayne since the previous post. I have been praying. I am glad to hear things are getting better and that Jayne is not giving up nursing. I LOVE Bobby's little outfit and the pictures are TOO cute! I especially love the one where Ainsley is giving him a kiss. It is just so DANG precious!!!!!!!
I'm so glad there isn't an infection - I had no idea it takes so much more energy to nurse than drink from a bottle. That is crazy! Hopefully he will work up his energy for it soon. Pictures are adorable!
You are doing a great an awesome job with keeping us all updated on how Bobby is doing thank you for that. The pictures turned out awesome. I love them. Ainsley is so cute and looks like a very happy big sister.
Those are darling!! I'm so glad he is putting on weight and doing better!!

Jayne is at the hospital right now with Bobby Ray, so I thought I would post a short update on how he is doing. Most of the tests for infection have come back negative (spinal, CBC, urinary cultures all look good). The neonatalogists think that he was probably not truly 36 weeks, but a little bit more premature than that. His sucking / feeding is similar to that of a preemie - he just doesn't have the strength to breast feed very well... unfornately for him, we had no idea when we brought him home.
Bobby has moved up into the PNCU (pregressive neonatal care unit), suggesting that the doctors feel that he is making good progress and should be able to come home soon. He just needed a couple of days to rest and beef up. Did you know it takes 1/3 the energy to bottle feed than it takes to breast feed? Jayne will continue to breastfeed, but will supplement via SNS or a bottle.
Now to the good part, the pictures. We had these pictures done at 9 days old... we were both very pleased with the result.
Funny story on this picture: We have a similar picture of Ainsley (though she is much smaller), so we wanted to get this done with Bobby Ray. As you can see, no diaper... without going into any details, lets just say that when Ainsley looks at this picture, she says, "Bobby Ray is poopy!"
