A Very Thankful 2 Months

Hunter is 2 months old! Where did the time go? It seems like yesterday we were taking our daily evening trips to the NICU. But we are all home and well .... Thank goodness!

Hunter had his 2 month appointment. The doctor is very happy with his progress. Hunter is weighing in at 9lb 4.5 oz! That is almost 3 times his weight from when he was born! We could not believe he has already passed the 9lb mark! He has also grown about 3 inches. He is now 21 inches long! He looks a lot different from his days in the NICU. Here is a little comparison.....

Here he is in the same outfit. He really fills it out now!

Hunter is having some reflux issues, but each day seems to get better. The doctor is pretty sure he will grow out of that by 6 months. He is not concerned with it at all because Hunter is continuing to gain weight - as you can see by the pictures. So in the mean time we will just keep the burp cloths close and extra clothes handy.

We are so thankful Hunter is doing so well. We are thankful to have him home with us. We are thankful Hunter is surrounded by tons of LOVE from all of our family and friends. We are so thankful Hunter has reached his 2 month milestone. Each month will be celebrated and cherished.

Most of all we are thankful God is protecting our little one. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ~ Philippians 4:6 He will and does answer prayers! We love you Hunter! Grow baby grow!!!

Happy Due Date

November 16 ....... this is the day Ryan and I were so looking forward to every since we saw that little heart beating at the first ultrasound. This would be the day (or around this day) we would meet our son. But today we are not at the hospital. Instead we are at home with our happy, healthy and handsome 8 week old little miracle! Happy Due Date Day Hunter - WE LOVE YOU!!!
