Week 4 = 1 month!! October 25




What a month to rejoice! Our little guy is growing so much these days (as he should if he is eating every 2 1/2 - 3 hours including the night). He is a whopping 11 pounds 3 ounces and is 23 1/4 inches long. (75% in both) We went to the cardiologist to have his heart murmur checked out. Turns out he has two small holes. One between the right and left ventricle and one between the right and left atrium. The doctor said that this should correct itself by the time Caleb is 7 years of age if not sooner. We will return in 6 months for another exam. Caleb did so well as he was wired to machines, cords, sticky things, and during the EKG. Pretty amazing how educational it was for us! Caleb is a normal baby and will grow to be normal little boy. He can do anything and everything that any other child can do. We would appreciate your prayers for healing for the two holes to heal as his heart grows.


We just adore looking at Caleb and discovering things he’s inherited from each of us. Whether it is Craig's his shape of his eyes, his expressions, his lips or from Julie- the round shape of her face, or her blue eyes (for now). It’s amazing to see in him a miniature version of the two of us and look forward to seeing him grow and change into his own little person or little versions of us.

i am just now reading this so I'm sorry I didn't ask you about it this monring Julie. Thrilled to know that it should take care if itself, but as I have said before anything that is an issue with your precious baby is scary!! We'll be praying for healing. I can't beleive he is already a month old!!!!
