Day 79, 1620 grams
And here is yet another item on Andrej's Menu of Maladies: I had an eye test yesterday, and the results weren't the best, unfortunately. I have a condition known as Retinopathy of Prematurity, or ROP. The link will tell you more about it. I have a stage II in one eye and a stage III in the other eye, but luckily they say they caught it early, so it should be treatable. Whatever happens, promise me that if I have to wear glasses, you won't laugh at me!
Today was a great day for feeding. Normally I get two sessions with mommy, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. This is because I would get too tired if I did it more often. However, today I felt up to an extra session, and mommy was only too happy to oblige! As you can see my weight is increasing, so let's hope that this is a nice upward trend.
Schedule for tomorrow: More Sleeping and Eating.

About Me
- Baby Andrej
- Hi! My name is Andrej. My twin brother Oliver and I were born on March 12th, 2007, a few months earlier than expected. I am sad because my brother got very sick and is now an angel in heaven watching over me. My parents changed my middle name to Oliver so that I will always remember that my big brother is with me. Now, after 111 days in the hospital, I am finally home to begin my life with my loving family. I wonder what the future has in store for me?
Hey Ladies! Welcome to my blog!
wow I was really tiny then!
Day 5: I finally relax
Day 18: Mom gets to hold me for the first time.

Hi Andrej! Thank you for your birthday wish! Today is my birthday! I am three! Luke and Ella have school but I am going to gymnastics with Oma. When Dad gets home from work we are going to open presents and have pizza and cake. I sure wish you and Aunt Sandra and Uncle Paul could be here! We all want to see you!
Big kiss and hug!

Hey little buddy!
Don't stress about the eye thing- just keep eating, sleeping and getting stronger!
(and don't worry about the glasses either- you'll still look adorable and chicks dig 'em!)
