More Baby Pics!

Xzavier gained more weight. He is almost back up to his birth weight of 4lbs, 3oz.

Eyes Open

This is the first photo we were able to get with X's eyes open. Teeny, tiny little guy. We sure love him.

The Baby

Xzavier lost 6 ounces yesterday. Please keep him in your prayers...

Things have changed in the NICU in the past 4 years. With Silas only parents and grandparents could go in to the NICU. Now siblings and other family members are allowed to visit the baby. The above is Heather and the baby having some kangaroo time. Chrystal, Jeff's daughter, also got to meet her new little brother. Silas gets to meet him tomorrow. I am sure they will be good friends. Xzavier is doing good. He is off oxygen now. He is still learning to "suck, swallow, breathe" during his feedings. All in all though we feel really blessed. He is doing well.

The Baby Is Here!

Heather's little guy made his way in to the world this morning at 7:43am. He weighed 4lbs, 3ozs and he is 17.5 inches long. I am so proud of Heather. She worked so hard to keep him inside as long as she could. In the past few weeks she has spent multiple days/ hours at the hospital trying to get the contractions to stop. In spite of the doctors best efforts they just couldn't stop the contractions this time. He is doing good, though. He is on oxygen right now but he should be able to come home in a couple of weeks. I will keep you posted. Heather is doing good, too. The baby's name is Xzavier Edward Gray. Congratulations Heather and Jeff!

Si at the Wedding

Silas is too cute. He was so excited. He kept asking me when the preacher was going to announce his Mom and Jeff "boyfriend and girlfriend". Too cute!

Still Pregnant!

Just a quick update to let everyone know that Heather is still expecting.
She will be 34 weeks on Tuesday. Only 6 more weeks to go! She also got married last week as well. Congratulations Heather and Jeff!
