Happy Baby! :)

Our Little Bear is such a happy Baby! :) Video capture of his grinning today! its wonderful to be greeted by this smile every morning, and during the day just so happy to see me.... I love it!

Update...he's grown! 7lbs 8oz. Wahoo! 21 inches long! Doesn't fit in his preemie outfits anymore, and those newborn ones won't fit much longer as he no longer swims in them. Aunt Aunie you would be proud. :) So the sonogram came back with some results that basically mean we are referred now to a specialist. We have an appointment to see them July 5th...My big 30th birthday! (Hard to believe I'm at that milestone in life already) Anyway, then from there they will schedule an MRI so they can get a closer look. Right now it does look like his spinal cord is attached to the spinal column....that needs to be hanging free within the spinal column, could be attached by a little piece of extra fat...funny ironic it would be fat since we want him to have extra fat...just not there. It would mean a surgery to un-attach it. Scary for this Momma Bear. Thankfully its not hurting him in any way now, without it though it would mean problems as he is older, walking and digestive. However, they can't determine for sure it is yet until the MRI. So we are still praying. Praying that with the MRI they find nothing and that he has been completely healed! :)

So had the two month check up, they were impressed at his rolling over, the nurse was sure it was a fluke...but since he's rolled over multiple times and then proceeded to try on the Doctors table, we showed her otherwise. We decided to do a few of the immunizations but to space them out, and not do them all at once. Got his first DTaP shot and did great! Screamed two good screams right at the shot, I picked him up and he stopped, didn't even cry after that. I think I was more traumatized. I seriously watched him like a hawk for the next 24hours taking his temperature every hour,  checking for that fever and it never presented itself. so phew! Hard decision to make for this momma, but after the Doctor said in her entire career she hasn't had one child react poorly with life time effects, but has had five children die of just pertussis. and with him being so little that was more of a risk. So we opted for doing a few of the more life threatening diseases. So that's the medical update! :) Thank you for those prayers, keep em coming, we will continue to ask for that support and for a complete healing of Little Bear.
