Family Picture

I got to see my amazing little man today!!! He is getting SO BIG you guys. Well-- he's still probably the tiniest baby you've (most of you) ever seen, but he's so much bigger than he was...

I was there today when the Doctor came in and he explained that although Jimmie is off the caffeine it is still in his system and we really won't know how he's doing without it for another 4 or 5 days. So pray that when it is finally all out of his system that he does fine without it!

There were a couple of rooms opening up in Tulip today. That's where Rachael wants Jimmie to be. So hopefully they'll get to move back. Jimmie's friend Miranda got to go home today! She was a micro-preemie. Congratulations to her family. What an amazing day for them!

While I was there today I went kind of crazy with the camera. (-: I'll spread the pictures out over the next couple of days in my posts.

1st family pictures!




The sign I wrote today. I re-did it cause I wanted it to say I'm AWESOME! (-:


Jimmie is really starting to remind me of my son Cole.

This is Cole. (Rachael is holding him.)

Cole again.



This is Jimmie.


Check out that TOTALLY CUTE DIMPLE!


I don't think I heard what he weighed today, but the Doctor did get out his growth chart and show us how Jimmie was staying right on his curve so that's great! Keep praying those fat prayers!

Love,
Amber

P.S. Rachael just called and Jimmie weighs 3 pounds 7 ounces! Wow!!! And he got to move back to tulip. Yeah!

  13. O, how cute he just looks so big when he has his clothes on plus I bet it makes him feel better. Before long you will be taking him home and then not long after that will be getting into everything. Those are some really good pictures I can't wait to see some with both the grandparents. I'm sure Grandpa Rod and Grandma Kathy are ready even to just touch him as the other garandpa and grandpa have. There is so much love around him it's great. Hurry up Jimmie grow Jimmie grow so we may all see you.
