6 WEEKS....

Today John is 6 weeks old. We are still amazed at how fast (and slow) time has passed.

John now weighs 5 lbs 12 oz, almost 2 pounds from his birth weight and is almost an inch longer. And he almost made Mommy cried tonight; he has outgrown the very first outfit he wore!

Daddy and Mommy bathed John together for the first time tonight. And since his circumcision and umbilical cord have healed, it was a true bath. =) John really enjoyed it. Afterwards, he was off the monitor during feeding, burping and cuddling time to help us get comfortable with reading him rather than relying on the monitors/alarms. RN Tammie was right next to us supervising, but John (and parents) did a great job.

He has done such an amazing job these past weeks. It's incredible to think he is still a month premature now. WOW!

We are hopeful that, if he continues to do well with no new episodes, he will be home very soon.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support.

P.S. Please keep John's little roommate Aiden and his family in your prayers. He had a REALLY, REALLY BAD episode today. He doesn't look well....
