He is so little!

Brittney PhelpsAbout Matthew

This kid is growing and gaining weight. As of today, 4 weeks after birth, he’s a little over a pound bigger than his birth weight, but he really is still so small and adorable. Whenever I pick him up or hold him, I feel like I’m holding something made of glass that might break if squeezed too tight.

Cameras just cannot capture his size or even totally what he looks like. Can’t wait for him to meet the world in person!

His preemie pajamas and onesies still drown him. His little face is just too cute. And those tiny diapers. 🥹

This is the size of diaper he wore when he was first born. It’s called mega preemie or something. He wears regular preemie sized diapers now. And they still had to fold it down at the top to fit him. 😆
The preemie diaper still drowns Matthew even when they fold it down. Hard to believe they don’t make something in between.

He also has quite a bit of hair and it’s dark. Sometimes in pictures/videos it’s hard to see his fuzzy little head, and sometimes it looks lighter than it actually is.
