Bear changed dramatically as soon as he hit his due date. He finally lets me put him down. The doctor says preemies are more attached to their Mom and need to be held more because they would still be in the womb. The Dr. says to consider it the 4th trimester. He is smiling all the time and sleeping in his crib. He loves to be rocked and sung to sleep.

We moved from Colorado to Texas when Barrett was one month old. We drove for 14 hours with a car full of 2 dogs, food for the trip, and a baby! He was still on the oxygen, but continued to gain weight quickly.
