First Christmas

Moose didn't last....

The Last Ten Days

You wouldn't believe me even if I had pictures or a video camera. But the last ten days have been a roller coaster of nursing sick babies. Grace was sick starting on the 9th, Jack got sick on the 10th sick, we had baby Gabby for a few days who bless her heart was also sick, Grace was sick again (all over couches and beds) Thursday-Sunday, and then this morning we had to take Jack to the ER. He now has sepsis and an ear infection. How the heck he got a blood infection is beyond me. But I am thanking God this afternoon that I was at the right place at the right time (as we were walking into the heath clinic he started to turn blue), and that we are not dealing with the 2005/2006 Gutherie. I was very pleased how Jack was handled/treated this morning. They did baby CPR, x-rays, an iv, blood tests, urine and fecal tests... and Jack was a trooper through the whole thing even falling asleep while they were putting in the catheter. We have to go back for three days for Jack to get a series of shots of antibiotics. So... last Friday I thought I was done with sick babies... hopefully, by Saturday I will be done with sick babies... for at least awhile.

Jack's Four Month Update

At four and a half months, Jack is doing very well. He is 15 pounds and 24 inches long which puts him in the 20% catagory. His numbers are doing well, so the doctor has lowered his vitamin intake. And they are surprised at his developmental progress. He is functioning as a six month old. So we are now allowed to get him some time with a jumper or an excerisaucer. Just in the past few days he is holding his own bottle, rolling better and starting to do some creeping. Next week he will start his physical therapy for his legs.

Jack's Baptism

We ended our Thanksgiving Weekend with Jack's Baptism back home with Dr. Perry.

Christmas Camel

This is the Christmas Camel Jack spit up on... the camel ate Jack's gak and the retired to its barn.... suppose it had enough after Jack.

Jack's First Thanksgiving Parade

After Mama got the turkey in the oven, she got to sit down and watch the Macys Parade with her babies. It was a great way to kick off Jack's first Thanksgiving!
