Baby J

I apologize in advance for the lack of details/pictures in this post.

A dear internet friend of mine, A, had a baby boy: J, born on Nov. 27.  He was born after 2 tremulous weeks in the hospital at 25 weeks and 5 days gestation.

His mom, A, dad, T, sister L, and brother B, could all use their prayers as their family goes through the hourly/daily struggle of life with a micro-preemie.

Little J is really sick right now and I'd like to ask anybody that reads my little old blog to please petition the Heavenly Father on his behalf.  Pray that J gets strong enough to fight off this infection, that his parents have strength & peace.  Pray that the nurses and doctors are gentle, kind, caring, happy, and have sure fingers when they are treating little baby J.

I'd really appreciate it & I know A does too.

STTN

Well, Vinnie WAS sleeping through the night...until about this week.  He was going from 7(ish) PM until about 3 or 4 am without any wake-ups.  Then, nursing, and going back to sleep until about 5 or 6 am.  It was nice while it lasted.

Now, he's getting up around 1 am, 3 am, and 6 am to nurse...which is normal & totally still okay for a 3 1/2 month old.

Luke on the other hand is getting MUCH better at sleeping through the night & last night 12/3/2011- 12/4/2011 he actually went to bed with Tim and slept until 6:30 am all by himself in his OWN bed! :)

We'll see how long it lasts! Tim has been the one getting up with him during the night for about a week now (full-time, and for about 4 months part-time) so he is mostly night weaned.  He is still nursing to sleep and then again around 5 am, normally.
