Jack had his newborn recheck today and everything looked great. He continues to breathe rapidly, but the doctor thinks he may have slightly premature lungs (hard to believe on a 9 lb baby!) but within the next few days we should see an improvement. He currently weighs 8lbs. 13 oz.

Our first night at home with Jack was very easy. It took us an hour to wake him up for one of his feedings (he needed to eat it had been 5 hours!!!) We were a little concerned with his breathing around 1am so we stayed up 30 min. and watched him and counted his respirations, but he seemed to calm down. We elevated his mattress and he slept for 4 hours till we changed his diaper.

Levi comes home tonight! We can’t wait to have our little buddy back. He has done amazing being away from daddy & mommy (especially mommy)! Last night he thought he was big stuff laying on Opa’s pillow (while Opa is in Haiti).

Thank you for all the calls, visits, & prayers! We are so thankful to be at home & for yet another precious gift from God.
