15 Weeks

Wow, what a week it has been! I guess I spoke too soon when I said that Jackson was doing so well! This week he crashed and we made another visit to UVA for his 6th blood transfusion. His doctors seem to think that his surgery will be moved up a year meaning that we could have his spleened removed as early as next summer. This is both a good thing and a bad. Bad just because the longer he has his spleen, the better his chances are for fight off other infections. The good news is that our little boy will feel a whole lot better! The docters seem to think that 5 now is the magic number and if we can make it til then, wonderful! All in all, he's doing much better. He had an ear infection as well so they have him on antibiotics and he has his energy back.

As for baby number 3, all is growing well here as you can see! We are 15 weeks, with a strong heartbeat of 157 beats. I have gained a total of 5 lbs, but it feels like a ton more than that! I swear with each pregnancy your belly just pops out, It's crazy!!! I'm feeling pretty good now, just trying to keep up with the other 2 little ones! We will find out the sex of the baby, the week of January 12th. Great Anniversay present for Zach and I! It's a little later, just because we'll be in Florida over the holidays! Lets all think pink, o.k?? ;-)
