Just a short post to ask you all to pray for Justin-Boy. He's sick again. We think he is getting over this little cold, finally, but now he has a low-grade fever. It might just be teething. He's had a lot more spit lately, and he's trying to bite everything and everyone! But we are a little worried, like we always are. We're staying up with him tonight (that's what I'm doing now. It's 3:30 a.m!) like we always do when he's sick, which may be taking a little more precaution than is needed, but you know, Jonathan had these weird fevers before he died. He had one when he died.We don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. So, we go on the really cautious side.
Anyways, I wanted to show you all how well he has done! I meant to do this on his birthday... but it didn't happen. But here it is, over a month later!
Justin wasn't supposed to live. He did.
If he did live, he was going to have a lot of problems. Serious problems. So far, they haven't found one thing that is different from him and another baby.
When he was born, he weighed 2 lbs 10 oz. He weighs about 22 lbs now
He was 14 3/8 in. He is 30 1/2 inches now.
Here's some pictures of him from when he was born, too now
That's Dad's hand. Justin's legs are tucked under (they kept them like that for awhile) but you get the picture. TINY!!!
He had to wear that little blinder thing because he was under a blue light to help him get rid of the jaundice. That's Mom's hand
That black and white tube going into his mouth is his feeding tube
This is when he came home. He still had the oxygen.
Me holding him soon after he got home. I think I was talking to him or something! lol
Ryan and Justin!
getting older....
Big jump!
Almost to now...
And Now!!!
Now you can all see the miracle he is! He started out a little, wrinkled thing, and now he's jabbering and pulling himself around... He's such a blessing! I'm so glad he's here! Our lives would be so empty without him. Thank-you, Lord, for letting him live! And now there is another little one on the way! Sometime in late November there will be another baby. :) Can't wait!
Well, I need to get into bed. Really busy day ahead!
In Christ,
Amy

We will keep Justin in our prayers still. Hard to believe he's over a year old now - Aiden is almost to his birthday!!! a week and 2 days :)
Wow, justin is getting so big! he'll probably pass Aiden before too long, Aiden weighs 23 pounds. I'm glad J is thriving so well, I'll pray that the fever is nothing serious and goes away soon.
God is in control. Love you Amy! haven't talked to you in ages but still think about ya'll and pray for your family.
New Baby H is due in Feb - today is halfway day :)
What a cutie!
I will most deffinatly be praying for him!
It's amazing how God can work miracles right before our eyes. It's incredible to watch a miracle unfold right before your eyes.
Blessings,
