Chug Chug Chugging Along




Jack is still doing very well. Hasn't had an episode since his minor one last week. He gained some weight overnight. He has officially surpassed Mary's birthweight. He's now up to 6 lbs 12 oz. Jack still has a little ways to go to catch me, but he also has about 3 weeks before his predicted due date. He is also eating alot more now, and he's getting very good at breastfeeding. We are very proud of all the progress he is making. Every once in a while a nurse comes in who hasn't seen him in a few weeks and they are amazed at how big he has gotten.

At the evening care time a group called the "binky patrol" came by a gave us a homemade blanket. They go around and donate handmade washable blankets to families/babies that have serious illness or prolonged hospital stay. I put a link to there site on the side if anyone wants to check them out. Anyhow, Mary and I would both like to say thanks to them, Jack will surely love his new blanket. Jack also had a visit from Mary's friend Olivia (she's the person that's not us standing over him in the pictures).

  1. Just think, one more ounce and Jack will be at Damons birth weight. I'm sur he'll catch up with all of you, but hopefully not be quite as big as cousin Damon. Love you all!
