Happy 4 Month Birthday!!

August 13, 2010

Welcome to Jack's new blog!!! Today is his 4 month birthday, and while he's still, really, brand-new, I'm feeling like we've been pals forever! He is growing by leaps and bounds, and so pink and healthy that you'd never know that he was born with a congenital heart defect. He is developing well, although he's lagging behind a full-term baby, but we're not worried about that!! This morning, his home nurse weighed him, and he is a solid 13 pounds, 11.5 ounces!!! And he's been off the "super high calorie preemie formula" for about two weeks, now! I think he's doing just fine!

This blog is for family, friends, and anyone who is interested in the "continuing saga" that is Baby Jack's life! I know that he is amazing, and since so many of you have said that you enjoy reading about him, I welcome you into his extended family! I am going to post two items about his last two weeks next, and then I will post whenever he has a doctors appointment, or does something amazing. Which may be everyday, knowing him! I hope you'll keep up with his development, and continue to pray for this amazing little boy!!

I am posting a few pictures of his last laughing fit above. This kid thinks I am one hilarious Mommy! And I eat it up, so he gets a show on par with a Vegas extravaganza several times a day. Hey, as long as my reward is these smiles and laughs, I'm the best paid entertainer around!
