Time Flies

First off...look at that face!  I know I am biased but I dont believe it gets any more precious than that!!  All that dark brown hair is slowly but surely turning blonde!! 

The past 5 weeks have by far been the most incredible yet exhausting weeks of my life.  They just seem to fly by and honestly some parts just seem like a blur.  I sure slight sleep deprevation has played a role in that!!

Things have been going great!   I really am so blessed and I stare at him all day and think just that!  I could watch him kick, sleep, coo and look around all day long. Most of the time that is exactly how I spend my days!!  It seems like everyday I notice something new about him!

Parker had his one month check-up yesterday.  He is now 10lbs 1oz and 21 1/2 inches.  In the 50th percentile for both height and weight!!  He is still in newborn diapers and clothes, but he is steadily growing!!

During his check-up the doctor heard what he feels is a Heart Murmur.   His doctor is sending us to a pediatric cardiologist on the 18th for an echo to be done.  He is pretty sure it is nothing for us to worry about but wants to have it checked out.  If this is the case we just pray that it closes on its own.  So please keep Parker in your prayers, that everything goes well on the 18th.

Speaking of PRAYERS...Parker has a friend named Preston who was born on January 4th and underwent open heart surgery yesteday January 6th.  Preston is the son of two of my college friends Tiffanie and Tony and was born with a congenital heart condition.  He defied the odds throughout pregnancy, at birth and now through surgery.  He is such a little fighter.  As of last updates he remains stable and the doctors are very happy with his progress...Praise the Lord!!  Please continue to keep sending prayers for this beautiful family! You can read their story and follow them through this journey at Pineapples-n-Pickles !
We are looking forward to our visit to Houston when we can meet this precious little guy!!

Here is another pic of my blue eyed baby!!
