Progress

I had my 30 week check up this morning. Everything is progressing along smoothly. Little boy had a great heartbeat again, and was kicking the Doppler as we listened. I am measuring perfectly at 30 cm (my belly...) and have not gained any weight this past few weeks! So still at 13 lbs weight gain, which is just crazy to me. The Dr. said, that since my belly is growing, I must be loosing weight- which seems crazy, because I am still eating Double Cheeseburgers all the time! I did, however, lay off the Oreo's! Must be walking up and down the stairs holding Tyler, laundry... who knows!

Next appointment is in two weeks... and we are on the last leg of this journey! It has flown by!

Tyler's big boy room has been so much fun for me to work on... Below is the dresser we got off of Craig's List- pre-paint!

Notice the two different tones on the face of the dresser vs the top! I think it must have been sanded down at one point... so it really needed to be painted...

And after. It was so easy to paint... we got it done in one night. I love it!

And this is Tyler's room with the orange stripe all done....

And with the curtain I just got, and some sport appliqué stickers on the wall... When Tyler saw the wall, he squealed, "BBAAAAALLLLL." He loves his new room so far, and so do I! Who says having boys isn't just so much fun????

I just finished the last coats of paint on the bed (I hope) and plan on moving it over here this week.... we are praying for a smooth transition.... but we will keep you posted as to how that all goes!

Diagnosis and Grace

Friends- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" Psalm46:1 Much has happened since I last wrote only 2 short days ago. We found out much later that night a new diagnosis, that our sweet boy has leukemia . We were not completely shocked but we were certainly shaken. After I posted about what was going on at Shady Grove, and we waited a bit more for some results, and we were informed that we needed to take Jack to Children's Hospital in DC for further testing with specialists. This raised our concern level quite high as you can imagine, that even with a snow storm coming, we were needing to make this trip. I began to google the combination of things they had found in the tests done on our little boy (swollen spleen, low platelet count , swollen lymph nodes) and came up options that were NOT Lyme disease, although a few of these symptoms did also look like Lyme. As a result of the google quest, I came across some concerning outcomes, one of the most

Just too funny

I had to share this funny moment with Tyler. I guess I will always be a cheerleader at heart- so I was cooking dinner and decided to do a little "cheer" of Tyler's name for him to see what he would do.... and he just laughed so hard- it was on the verge of crying! See the little video below!

.Results and Re-Admission.

I am so happy to share that the results from the bone marrow biopsy came back with the results we had hoped and prayed for! They said they found less than 0.1% Leukemic cells in his bone marrow!!! So this is such great news! The prognosis is a good one, and now we get to keep marching on into the next 3 years of making sure the Leukemia does not come back and he is fully in remission! Thank you all so much for all the prayers said on our behalf! I also have the happy report of how last night and this morning went as well... So last night, we woke Jack up at 11:30 to feed him one last time before midnight. He was so sweet and groggy but ate a bunch of nuggets and french fries. We gave him a bottle and put him in bed at midnight and hoped for the best... well, he did not wake up again until 4:45... which was AMAZING for us and him! That was a long stretch for the little guy! After that he cried for a while and Jordan tried distracting him with books and holding him for a while. Jordan w
