3 months!





Andrew is 3 months and is a BIG boy...literally! We weigh 15 pounds! Andrew is smiling, cooing, holding his head up, and trying his hardest to keep tabs on his big brother!

About 1 week after turning 3 months, Andrew caught RSV (which our entire family likely had) but his little lungs had a much harder time with the virus than the rest of us. We ended up in the Pediatric ER on a Friday night and was subsequently admitted to the hospital for breathing treatments and observation. He handled it like a pro....and didn't even flinch when they placed the IV. We had a rough night especially since they made Andrew NPO (which meant no nursing) and were poking and proding him every hour. (It's hard to pacify a little nursling who isn't allowed to nurse!) After being discharged the next day, Andrew had a really tough night and Mommy almost brought him back to the ER. Instead, she lit the sick-call kit (a cross Fr. Cedric gave us for our wedding) and begged God to helped her little boy....and he is doing much better now. Praise God!

Thank you all for the prayers! Hopefully Andrew will be back to his adorable usual self in a quick few days and be back on track growing like a weed.
