James Gets a Sibling 👶🏻

Mom's Facebook Update 

I never felt comfortable announcing my pregnancy with James. I wish I had, because it was really tough emotionally. I was just waiting until it felt safe, though after a 2nd trimester loss that wasn't going to happen. BUT as soon as we announced, "We had a baby and he needed a miracle!" we had an outpouring of support and love since Day One that has been priceless. So after debating whether or not to share this, we figured we could use the extra support and prayers from our friends and family. 

On November 1st, I got knocked up 🤞 by our fertility doctor. It's called a Frozen Embryo Transfer. We don't know the gender, it was an embryo created earlier this year in May. Although there are no guarantees, we are hopeful this next step in our journey will allow us to bring home another rainbow baby. We are so excited for James to grow up with a sibling, just as we did.

James is making rapid progress but even if he wasn't, it's our family's personal decision to grow our family. I've already heard judgment from other moms and honestly life is too short to deal with other's insecurities. We're just asking for well wishes not approval.

We are choosing to share our journey in hopes of breaking the stigma around infertility. If you are struggling in silence know that you are not alone. ❤️

Please send us all of your prayers, positive energy, good vibes, and baby dust! We can't wait to hopefully share our positive news (pun intended) in a few weeks! 🙏💓✨

First Full Day of Pre-K 🎒 🟰 Off of Oxygen!

Yesterday was James's first full day of Pre-K! For the past 2 months, James has only been able to do half days because of nap time; he required oxygen while sleeping. The great news is that James is now officially off oxygen completely! Also, we have worked with our GI team and the school nurses for them to be able to administer G-tube feeds at school, so he can stay a full day! It's so important to take the time to celebrate the wins because with a medically complex kid, there is always something to be working on! 👍🏻 From ventilator weaning to stopping the ventilator completely, to scheduling decannulation, to getting the trach stoma closed, to graduating from a GJ to a G-tube, to getting off of oxygen... It feels never-ending! That is just the medical side of it. There are also those normal things like walking, talking, eating... James has done great with those as well and cognitively he is acing everything! I recently saw a post from John Israel talking about perpetual dis...

Ella at 4, 5, and 6 months (and some extras)! Wow time is flying by because in 2 weeks she'll already be 7 months! 😱 She is such an easy baby!
