I can't believe our lil man is 4 months old already!! He's getting so big. We weighed him on our home scale last night and he's about 6.8 lbs!! I guess his power feeds over the past couple weeks have been helping. :) Big news for yesterday is that RJ pooped on his own for the first time since arriving home!! No glycerin suppository was needed!! I guess the dilation is finally working. We went to the eye doctor yesterday and his eyes look the same. Don't have to go back for 2 weeks. We are still waiting for his vessels to grow properly.

Robert got lucky and was able to come for the eye appt yesterday and have the rest of the day off!! It was great having help getting the lil man back into the vehicle again. Today we are spending some nice relaxing family time together. :)

Not much else has happened since I last wrote. RJ seems to be feeding every 2.5hrs versus 3. Then last night he decided to feed 3 times in the span of 1.5hrs. Such a silly boy. He's starting to cry when he's hungry which is a new thing. I just wish he would take his entire bottles so we could get the NG tube out.

Tomorrow daddy and RJ are going to spend some quality time together and mommy (me) is going to get out and treat myself to a pedicure w/ some of my birthday money. :) I might even slip to Target or something to look around. Friday I made a mad dash to the grocery store while RJ stayed home w/ daddy. Whew... we are stocked up for a lil while now. :)

Anyways, I hope you all have had a very happy Sabbath!! Thanks again for all the love, prayers, and support!! Keep em' coming!!
