Out of the bassinet and in my bed!!

I slept in my bed in my room last night! It was wonderful - I didn't have to listen to my daddy snore all night!! My mommy and daddy were so proud of me. Mommy finally got some much needed sleep.

A Weekend in Georgia!

This weekend I spent time with some family friends, Ron and Mrs. Libby Mabry, in Georgia. We had so much fun. Of course, I can't really go anywhere so I stayed with the Mabry's while my mom and dad went shopping. We had so much fun, we played, and just sat around looking at the mountain view from their living room. I really wish that was the view from my living room! Thank you Ron and Mrs. Libby, I enjoyed staying with you.

Friday, I went to see my cardiologist at UAB and we got a really good report. I now weigh 9lbs 1oz (remember monday I was 8lbs 12oz). I am really growing. The Dr said everything looks really good. My next appointment is April 2nd. Dr Colvin thinks we may start talking to the surgeon then. Yeah!! (I think!) Please, pray that the Dr's will do what is best for me and my growing brain and body. (You know my mom worries about everything!!)

A note from Harper's mom

This little girl has completely changed my world!! You really don't know what true love is until you have a child. When she smiles at me my heart just melts. I truely do not even remember what my life was like before this little angel came into my world and now I cannot imagine life without her. She is a miracle and a blessing. I love you Harper!! "More than Words!"

2 Months Old!!!

Today, I am 2 months old!!! Yeah! This morning I went to see Dr. Massingill for my immunizations, OUCH!!!. I also had my weigh in which was a whopping 8lbs 12oz!!!! Dr. Massingill was so proud! That was 2lbs in a month! However, the Dr did say he still didn't want me to go to church or be around other children until my heart is fixed. What a bummer!! One day I will be able to play with my friends.

What a Weekend!

Saturday I went for a walk at Bonita Lakes with my mom and nana. It was such a pretty day and I especially enjoyed the nice breeze. It was perfect for sleeping!!!! While we were there we ran into that precious John Turner and his parents. He is so cute!
Today I went to grannie's for lunch. This was my first time to actually go out around other people. My grannie, nana, pop, and uncle tyler were there of course but I got to meet my uncle joey and his two boys colton and jason. I had a good time but, man am I worn out. That was alot for one weekend!

Here I am!!!!

On January 16, 2009, I entered this world at 5:01pm and ever since then my parent's world has been turned upside down. I am their first child that sort of speaks for itself right there but then on top of that my first couple days home I spent 48 hours straight connected to this special light for my jaundice. I was so orange, my mom says I looked like a carrot. Because of the jaundice I was making frequent trips to the hospital to get my bilirubin checked and then on Saturday January 24, I really showed my parents a thing or two!! They found out that I had several congenital heart defects. My parents (especially my mom) just about lost it, but I knew that I was going to be okay. I had my first jet ride to UAB, spent a couple of days in intensive care then when I was exactly two weeks old I underwent surgery to correct one of the defects and the placement of a pulmonary band to buy me some time before I have to undergo open heart surgery. What a wild ride!!!!!! So anyway, now I am at home trying to gain weight and get stronger. So far I am doing pretty good, as of March 4 I weigh a wopping 7lb and 12oz!
I have my mom completely home bound.Right now I am not allowed to be around the general public and especially other babies and children. Not to worry though, one day I will and a little firecracker I will be. Hold on to your socks John Turner :)!!!!!!!!
