It's official....

Jack is sleeping through the night!! I am so blessed!!! I wanted to wait a little while before making a decision that he was, indeed, sleeping a 8-9 hour stretch each night. It started two Sunday's ago.. so we are two weeks into me getting more sleep!! You would think I would not be still desperate for a nap some days, after getting so much more sleep, yet here I find myself still needy! Today, I decided doesn't count, as a day I shouldn't have gotten a nap-- Tyler was wide awake and wanted to play from 12- 3 am! It was a long night!

Why is jack sleeping so long at 9 weeks ?? Maybe it has something to do with his weight, maybe it is just a whim, and will change back tonight... either case, I am a blessed woman, to have gotten a stretch of sleep longer than 4 hours for the past two weeks!

Here are a few pictures from the last photo shoot I took of Jack. I love his blue eyes. Just gorgeous! I hope he keeps them!


Is that one chubby boy or what???

I keep trying to capture his wonderful smile, but cannot get it with the camera and me trying to make him laugh at the same time... I will keep trying though! He smiles with his eyes... not really captured here...


I got this cute outfit at the baby bazaar for $2!! Gotta love the baby bazaar!


Ooooo I love him so much! I am amazed at how deep the love runs! He coos and smiles all the time, and it just melts my heart!

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...

.Day by Day.

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion says my soul. Therefore I will hope in Him." Lamentations 3:22-24 This has been the cry of my heart these past few days. When thoughts of the future loom ahead and what this is going to look like in a week, month, year are ever present, we are seeking to take things one day at a time. And even as we take it one day at a time, each morning, we are faced with more of the unknown- what the day will bring, how Jack will be feeling, how he will respond to his meds, how he will respond to the staff here, when the nasty side-effects of chemo will begin... the list of unknowns are seemingly endless. Not only is the thought of what the day will bring full of unknowns, but we are also very tired, as we are not sleeping much at night and so we are tempted to view the day through the filter of weariness. So yes, it is a fight each...

.coming home.

Well, the past 24 hours have changed things again for us! The biggest update, is that we are being discharged tomorrow afternoon some time! The reason this is so crazy is that the Dr. who was on the floor yesterday, was telling us she wanted to keep us here for the entire first month of Jack's treatment. We had begun to think through how we could do this as a family and all the changes that would entail.... and then our nurse came in this morning and told us she was pretty certain we were going home, as early as today if we wanted!! Let me tell you about the past three days that lead up to this decision of our doctor. Firstly, you should know that when Jack was diagnosed with Leukemia, he had a blast count in his blood of 37. That count is now at ZERO!!!! After the central line was put in on Thursday, they began his chemo treatments Friday. He had been having a fever up until that time. He has responded so well to the chemo, and other medications, that he has been fever free since...
