Fat and Sassy

Zachary is now fat and sassy! He has gained 7oz in 7 days and is up to 10lbs 7oz! He is very vocal these days and just squeals in delight, especially when Jonathan comes around. He lights up when he sees him!

His WBC is up to 15.9K and his monocytes are in the normal range of 8%. Dr. Rob is off today but is going to call me on Monday to see when we need to come in to see him again.

His spleen is normal (if I didn't mention that yet) and he is doing great!

I have decided to stop dwelling on every little move he makes and enjoy him. I swear he has grown so much and is doing so much these days and I feel like I sit and worry and let it all pass me by. Not any more. Oh I may have already said all this so forgive me. I am a bit tired.

We got about 10" of snow this week and Jonathan and I played in it. That lasted all of 15 minutes and then his glove came off. I was ready to come in anyway.

Dinner is waiting so I have to go. Have a great evening!

Oh, Jen... ENJOY your boy. Please, please I hope that you can. I can only imagine how much you've been consumed with the worry and illness and all of the other things that distract from the simple beauty.

I'm so very glad that your boy is fat and sassy :)

Big ginormous hugs from me !

YAY for fat and sassy! It makes me so happy to hear how well he's doing AND that he's RSV free and has a normal spleen! Such big hurdles for such a little boy.

It must be so hard to try to truly enjoy him when you're so scared and tired and confused, but I think it's amazing that you're trying so hard. You're amazing.

Tell Z when he gets a little older Auntie Judith will introduce him to her Ben & Jerrys, Hershey bars, and Samoas diet. I promise he will love it. :)
