Day 66

Hi y'all. Sorry it has taken me so long to get to you. Daddy was at work and Mommy...well she was just plain-old exhausted. So better late than never. I want to start by asking for prayer for my new friend Eva Janette. She is a Trisomy 18 baby like myself who was born on Monday and she is going through some rough stuff. You can visit her and her family at http://www.evajanette.blogspot.com/ . Please pray that her family will get to love her for the rest of her time here on this earth which does not seem to be very much longer as pictured by her mommy Chrissy.....pray that she is wrong and that she will have many healthy days.

Well, my day was pretty good. I hung out with Mommy all night and then hung out with Daddy, Joshua and Jonathan all morning. Then Mommy took me to the doctor's for my visit....and guess what.....you'll never guess......they weighed me in.......just take a wild guess at what I weigh.......it's just a crazy number....ok....you ready?....really ready?.......well I am going to make you wait :) The visit was good. We talked about a few questions to ask the cardiologist next Tuesday and then he said he was "amazed" at how well I was doing. He said that "I" am in control of what is going on and that I am functioning so well.....we all know that it is really God who is giving me the strength to hang out here longer with you all....I have no control for God is the giver and taker of all life. We just have to make the most of the life He gives until He decides to take it....and that is just what I am doing. So you want to know what I weigh??? Still gotta wait :)

So after the doctors, we just hung out at home. Dad headed off to work for the evening and Grampa came and took Joshua to golf, they came back for some dinner of leftovers (Mom has not been quite the cook....she has her hands full with me....literaly....but who would have it any other way:). Then we all headed off to bed. I slept ok on and off....that makes it tough for mom...she says I have my nights and days mixed up but she loves me all hours of the day so she deals with it. It is wearing on her a little though....good thing she has Daddy to hang out with me so she can sleep.

Ok...so you want to know what I weigh....... NOW are you ready for this??? Here is my BIG weigh in number:

5 POUNDS 2 OUNCES!!!!

YES ladies and gentlemen.....not only did I break the 5 pound mark but I exceeded it. They always said I was an overachiever :) Aren't you impressed!??!?! Keep up the prayers....they are working...I am getting bigger and stronger and hungrier ever day. Thanks so much for loving me.
