Leo at home update

Leo at home update
March 6, 2022 - Leo is 3 months old

Sorry, it's been a while since I've updated you.  I want to share Leo's newly home "newborn" pictures and let you know how he's doing.
Leo is doing very well. He spent exactly 12 weeks in the NICU and got to come home late on Monday February 28.  Riley ophthalmology followed Leo biweekly for his first six weeks home to make sure his blood vessels formed correctly. His eyes look good now and he only needs yearly follow ups. He is still on a blood pressure medicine and is being followed by nephrology for premature kidneys and hypertension.  We are hopeful this will resolve soon also.  Wednesday 4/27 Leo had his tongue and lip ties revised because we are still working on transitioning from combination breast and bottle feeding to fully breastfeeding.  He sees a craniosacral therapist and will be able to start First Steps physical therapy this month which should also help with breastfeeding.  His pediatrician doesn’t have any concerns. He is gaining weight well and just hit 11 pounds. We are so relieved to have him home even with the normal challenges like the newborn sleep schedule and adjusting to the addition of a new baby sibling.
Photo credit to our good friend Maike (M.Rinaye Photography). The newborn pictures were taken on March 6th, the day Leo turned three months old and still seven days before his due date.  I also attached a picture from Easter and one of him at 5 months old.
