Joshua Update

I'm a bit behind but Joshua had his 2-month checkup on Jan. 15th. He weighed 10.1 lbs. and was over 23" long! He's gained 3 1/2 lbs. and has grown 3 " since he was born.

We had a bit of a scare this past weekend because he .developed croup. They did not want to give him a breathing treatment in Urgent Care because his heart rate was already high and the treatment would accelerate it which would become an even greater issue because of the hole in his heart. We followed up with his pediatrician yesterday and we agreed to no treatment at this time; however, if he's not better by Thursday he needs to be seen again for an RSV test and possible x-ray to test for pneumonia.

He is so much more alert now and smiles daily! He has just been the best baby with such a calm temperament. We have been very lucky!

Julie was in town last week and took lots of great pictures which I hope to have updated to the blog in the next week or so.
