Update on Baby!!

Hello everyone! Thank you all SOOO much for all of your comments. It means so much to know that you are all praying for us. Your prayers are helping because he continues to get better every day. Today I went to go feed him at 11 and he was doing really well. They have him under the lights to help his jaundice and even tho I know it is nothing major and SOO many babies have it, it is still hard to see him under those lights with the mask on. He has lost a little weight, as of last night he was 3lbs 9 oz. They expect him to start gaining soon. His eyes are open a little more now and I can't believe how much I love looking into them! It's like a little window into heaven! Anyways thanks again for everything you guys!!

I am dying at how small he is. He needs me. He called me up and told me that he loves me because we are both small. He says I'm his favorite. So I guess we will make a trip up there so he can be with me next weekend. What about him really though? I cannot believe how little and perfect. I tried calling ya back again. We are playing phone tag. Call me manana. Love ya sis.

wow candace!!! Congratulations!
I'm very happy your little one is doing well.
He is so tiny, and I can't even imagine what it feels like to hold a baby that small.
Good luck with everything, and I'm thinking of you and rooting for little mikey!!!!

Congrats Candace, he is so tiny but so cute! My sister-in-law's brother and his wife just brought their baby home from the hospital after a month of being there. He was born 2 months early and weighed 4 pounds too...weird. Your husband might know them, they are from Tooele (isn't that where Chad is from? If not, I'm losing my mind). Anyway, good luck, and congrats again!

And third of all, I know you have way better things to do right now, but Tavi and I are locking our blogs so email us and let us let you on! My email is ptownpride@hotmail.com and Tavi's is tavij@hotmail.com. Good job on the offspring! -Rach and Tavi-
