Jakob got discharged from the hospital on Sunday, October 30th after spending the first 14 weeks of his life in the NICU. We waited for him to get his Halloween pictures taken by a professional photographer for The Jeremy Project. Unfortunately, Jakob wasn't liking the pumpkin hat we put on him and was out of sorts for his entire photo shoot. Better luck next time! At least he looked adorable in his little Pujols uniform, which held even more significance given that the Cardinals won the World Series for the 11th time! He's ready to run right out of that hospital! Jakob has come a long way since his birth:
At Birth:
Weight: 1100 grams, 2 lbs 6.8 oz
Length: 14.75 inches
Head circumference: 22 cm
At discharge:
Weight: 3030 grams; 6 lbs 10.9 oz
Length: 20.08 inches
Head circumference: 36.4 cm
We are getting adjusted to having him home but it is such a blessing! All of the sleep deprivation is worth it to have our little angel home. He has certainly been an angel and would sleep through the night if we let him probably but he needs those extra calories so Mom wakes him up every 3 hours, sometimes successfully and sometimes not successfully.
