Cole has been doing great back at home, and his parents are slowly figuring the whole parenting thing out. Cole had a doctor's appointment on Monday and the doctor was so impressed with his weight gain, he is now 5 lbs 10.5 oz, that we don't need to go in to see him until early May. Cole is now officially a normal baby (he was always normal, but now we get to do the same things that full term newborns do).
Cole also had a follow up eye exam to check for ROP (Retinopathy of Prematurity) and he passed with flying colors, no more eye exams for another year. (Both James and I had to step out of the room for this exam, they used a metal utensil to keep his eyes open and he was screaming).

Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers, we could not have made it through the last couple of months without them. Cole is excited to meet you all once his immune system is nice and strong.
Lots of love -
James, Michelle, Cole & Rudy
He's pretty cute!
