Baby Update

I had my 32 week check-up today. Time has really flown by. I have only one more two week apart appointment, and we start the weekly ones! Crazy. Everything was great. Strong heartbeat, blood pressure... all the good stuff. I gained 3 lb this past two weeks... So now I am at 16 lbs- so if I gain a pound or so a week from here on out, I will be around 25 lbs, which is ideal for my little frame!

I do feel like my belly resembles a basketball at times! Kind of out there.... the pink spots on my arm, are from the flu shot they made me get! Yuck!

So we were hoping Dr. Apgar would be willing to induce me before Thanksgiving, but he said no. So sad! We have to run the risk of having a Holiday baby after all! The one perk to staying pregnant longer, is that the private rooms at Shady Grove will be completed and open for business November 19! So we want to make it that long at least!

And a week after we started putting Tyler to bed in his big boy room, we think we have successfully transitioned him! He hasn't had any trouble going to bed in that room. He has, however, discovered how to get in and out of the bed by himself!

Last night he was making quite a ruckus in his room, so we went up to see what was going on, and he had been getting in and out of his bed to get books to read. His bed has a few books on it... silly. At least he wasn't doing anything destructive!

These two pictures are from a week ago in his new pj's for his new bed.... he was very excited!

Tali - you look terrific!! And your little man is so cute! I love his big boy room - when we transitioned Aiden into his new room, he was totally thrilled and we didn't have any "issues" at all. Sounds like Tyler will be just as easy for you. Aiden's big boy room has a sports/ball theme, too!!
I'll be thinking about you and praying for you, Jordan and Tyler as you prepare to welcome baby #2 into the family. Not much longer!!! God bless.

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
