Cardio appoinment

Nolan's appointment went great he weighs 8lbs 1.8oz! Doctor was very pleased and surprised like usual at how well he's doing!She prescribe a medication called Lasiks(i think thats how its spelled?)It's to help get rid of any excess fluid he may have ie. like to help with any congestion.It will make him pee more, to make sure his lungs wont fill up and get congested.

Thanksgiving With The Family

We had thanksgiving dinner with some of our family yesterday, accually me nathan and lexi had 2 dinners in one day, Nolan was very happy to see everyone,and everyone was thrilled to see him!Nolan recently started to reaching up at my face and smiling at the same time! he's soooo darn cute :) tomorrow is Nolans cardiology appointment and im feeling very nervous, i know hes doing great but im worried if they will find something new.Im going to try and keep my head high and think positive hopefully nolan will show those doctors all his new development!

14 weeks~

Nolan turned 14 weeks today! he's truely a blessing to us~
he had to get another needle today we break the immunizations up because we dont how he might react to having to many all at once.He accually cried this time i felt so sorry.But he's fine now he gained a tiny bit since yesterday! not much but still some! the nurse said he's growing fine like following his own curve, of course he is not on the accually line for babies his age, but all that matter is that he's growing and thriving!Love you sweet baby boy!

More Pictures!

Nolans Weight update

Nolans nurse Natalie came this morning at 9:15am to do a weekly check-up on nolan,She listened to his heart and lungs,both were perfect.Just looking at him she couldnt believe how great he looked! His weight was 7lbs 12oz.!!!! hes doing fabulous :) we worked it out to about 4.5oz. a week which is great for a trisomy 18 baby! He's up to 4oz of formula now and handles it great, no spit ups.He still is being tube fed but we still give him a try at the bottle every feeding.We are just amazed that he is 97 days old! hes had more birthdays then his big sister Lexi LOL!
We also got a call back from CBC news they followed our photographer during her session with Nolan here at home in what she does for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, it was her first live photoshoot with a baby who survived an illness like this.Our story will air sometime next week, we get the DVD of it all too! we are thankful that we got to share our story with people and are excited for thousands to see our wonderful baby boy Nolan! So watch CBC news: i will post when it airs.
