Movin' On Up


Britton is graduating to a crib today! He is finally getting out of his open bed, and is moving to a "big boy" bed. This means he can start wearing clothes, and start being swaddled, instead of lying under the heater on the open bed.

He is now up to 6 lbs., 9.4 oz. Yes, he is gaining weight fast! He got down to 5 lbs. or so at his lowest, but is now putting on the weight. He has been a great eater lately and is now on full feeds.

We are currently on day 2 (I believe) of dsat-free days. We have to have 7 consecutive d-sat-free days before we go home. It is *very* likely that we'll go back down to day 0, but so far he's holding his own!

Thanks to everyone who asked about Danny's ordination tests. He did pass his written & oral exams with flying colors. We are very excited! The next step is for him to go before Presbytery on Feb. 12 (and to think that we were so worried during our pregnancy about the baby coming on this day), and then comes his Ordination service on March 9.

Finally, Thanks to all of you who keep posting comments, sending cards & e-mails and encouraging us! We are forever grateful for you!


Little monkey boy loves to eat, but still isn't sure about the burping business.


This is one of his least favorite activities (taking his temp) especially when he's hungry.

Congratulations Danny! We are continuing to lift Britton and the both of you up in prayer. We will continue to pray for a desat free 7 days so you can take that little guy home where you can really love on him. He is such a cutey. Grammy Joyce can't wait to get her hands on him. I have fallen in love just checking your blog every day. God Is Good All The Time.
Blessing on all of you!
