2 Weeks

I can't believe it was only 2 weeks ago we were waiting to hear if the Drs were going to close Jake's chest! He was fully sedated, lying on a table, completely stabilized by machines and medication. Now he is home. All his bandages are gone. He is eating, sleeping, and popping like any other baby. He still looks like a newborn and hasn't hit the 8 lb mark. But, he is still growing. What an amazing boy! I look back on pictures and it already seems so long ago. He is more sensitive than any of the girls were. He is more fussy than them too. He always wants to be held, but doesn't want anyone but Mom. I pretty much get NOTHING done. To be honest though, after 2 weeks of not being allowed to hold him it is all I want to do. The pile of laundry, dirty dishes, and the unswept floor fail in comparison to his sweaty fussy snuggles. If he's not sleeping he is most likely eating or crying. It's ok with me. Just proof he's a fighter! He's little but he has more strength than most. He's got spirit. Even at almost 6 weeks he is full of fire. May his fire live on as he continues to grow. 

Now it's off to bed. Then we have appointment #2 in the morning. Hopefully everything goes as well tomorrow as Tuesday. They are checking different things, so we'll see. 

Nothing better!
