All Smiles for Mom

I got my first smile out of our handsome little man a couple of days ago. I was talking to him and he just grinned a huge toothless "I love you, mom," smile. I am thankful for these little moments as we were warned over and over again that there could possible be developmental delays with heart babies and even learning disabilities. We are praying that this simply will not be the case, he has enough obstacles to overcome.

We had a cardiology checkup today, our weekly visit and Dr. Khan says everything is looking good. He is gaining weight, 8lbs 3ozs, today and cardiac wise he is stable. YAY! Poor baby gets messed with alot at these appointments. First he gets his vitals done. His blood pressure is taken on all four limbs. Then he gets an echo and lastly the do an extensive ultrasound of his heart. He does really well until the last 20 minutes or so of the ultrsound. Colt loves the appointments...a very awesome nurse, Paige, has taken him under her wing and she plays bubbles with him and even brings out a very cool Buzz Lightyear remote control figure! Today the lady at the front desk even let him feed the fish. He loves going and soon I am sure they will have him very spoiled!!
