I won't really count this as a post tonight, because I'm very tired. It's my night to get up with Jonah, so I think I should take advantage of going to bed "early." I love blogging, but I'm so freakishly OCD about it, and pictures take so long to upload, I can easily put an hour into a post.
Jonah weighed 17 lbs, 6 oz today. That means he has gained six ounces between Thursday and today. And I'd say he's having more gushers than he's ever had before. How 'bout them apples? I continue to be amazed at what God is doing, and honestly God is the only explanation for Jonah's continued growth and great health. I'm blown away. And to think we weren't even sure he'd make it out of the hospital. I can't believe we are approaching seven months... without a g-tube, without a trach, without an infection, growing like a weed. I'm in awe.
Did I mention how amazing my God is? It is so evident to us that His hand is on Jonah and that a legion of angels surround him. I'm so thankful.
AND we got to take a walk tonight.
God is good.
the "walk" part of your post put a smile on my face. =)
ReplyDeleteGod is so good.
ReplyDelete17lbs. 6oz. is good! My 9 month old got weighed today, and he is only 17lbs. 2oz.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got to go on a walk tonight. I hope Jonah enjoyed the nice weather.
Hooray for growth despite gushers! Way to go Jonah! So thankful with you--God is good.
ReplyDeleteYay to putting on the pounds!! Even though he's gushing, it probably means his body is retaining the much needed nutrients from the food before he gushes. Yay, God!!
ReplyDeleteGod is definitely good!
ReplyDeletePraise God! What a special blessing-the weight gain AND the walk :)
ReplyDeleteWe continue to pray for you!
Question...when you load pictures do you have a way to shrink the file size? I started doing that and my pictures load infinitely faster...I shrink the file size as small as possible, and the picture still looks great when I use the 'large' setting on blogger. Just a tip :) I shrink it on photoshop, but I'm sure there's a way to do it without photoshop.
I'm am so happy for the wonderful day you have had! We will continue to pray for Jonah everyday. God IS so GOOD!

So happy for you and Baby Jonah. You are in our prayers every night and it is so awesome to be reminded that He answers!!!! Sleep tight!
ReplyDeleteAll the time!
ReplyDeleteI have heard many times that babies who vomit usually do take in more calories than you think. It looks like a lot came out, but it's not as much as you would think. So clearly he's getting what he needs and growing into a cute little chubber!!
ReplyDeleteAmen sista!
ReplyDeleteYes He is. My favorite is "My God is an awesome God"

ReplyDeleteYou are right HE is!! And what blessing to hear it said from YOU!!! Thank you for your living testimony of His Hands at work!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless!!!
Amen Sista!
ReplyDeleteHis weight is fantastic! My boys didn't weigh that until they were 18 months old! And they were both huge pukers and 7lb babies. You are doing a fantastic job! Both of my boys are still little. My 6 year old is only 35lbs! I wouldn't be worring so much about his weight or how much he is or isn't eating. He is doing fantastic. And looking great as well.
ReplyDeleteGod is good! You are such a good and attentive mother keeping Jonah in the best health possible. I can't imagine the challenge. God has blessed Jonah with great parents!
ReplyDeleteAmen! God is Good! I am so happy that Jonah is growing like a weed! I pray for continued growth and health for him!
ReplyDeletePraise God! He is sooo good, and loves us all(especially Mr. JOnah) so much!
ReplyDeleteGod is good ! my heart is smiling, when I see how he is working in Jonah's life. So happy you got out and enjoyed your family time.
ReplyDeleteIf we do not talk before. I will be saying extra prayers for a good report on Thursday. and that Jonah travels well without any gushers ! I love Ya

Thank you thank you thank your LORD!
ReplyDeleteHi Patrice,
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog a few days ago and have added Jonah and your family to my prayer list. I've also added his buttons on my blog. I have a 5 month old son and your son reminds me so much of my own. If you get a chance, check out Caleb's blog. God bless you all!

Are you a mac or a PC user? I use a PC and downloaded Windows Live Writer (free!) to write posts for my blog. It makes putting editing and putting pictures on the blog soooo much easier. I think the pictures look a little better too for some reason.
