The Journey of James Weston

On Monday, December 4th, we celebrated the arrival of our daughter, Ella Jade Abramowitz! 🩷 She was born at 37 weeks + 1 day at 7:58am, weighing 5lbs 11oz and measuring 19 ¾ inches. Ella is thriving, her health bringing immense joy! 🥹 She's already breastfeeding, a special moment for me, and she's passing all her health checks. We've even seen her hold a pacifier and lift her head! Mike and I were anxious before the surgery, reliving our past experiences. Despite positive updates at all of Ella's prenatal visits, the nervousness was there. But, the birth was an incredible experience, beyond what we could've hoped for. Seeing Ella for the first time was an indescribable feeling of happiness! 😭 (Lots of happy tears) We're grateful for everyone's kind messages and support. Since our 5am hospital arrival on Monday, it's been a whirlwind with very little rest. This new journey is something we're embracing fully. I'm recovering, staying an additiona...

Photos from when I was 32 weeks (tomorrow I’ll be 36 weeks and feel it too)! Thank you so much Erin Elyse Photography for capturing these photos of our little family! 💕 Ella Jade 🌸 will be here in just 8 days and 21 hours! 😍 Our baby girl was named to honor her Grandma Eleanor, Mike's Mom as well as her maternal Great Grandmother, Mary Ella. Fun fact: The name was picked out over 4 years ago! Grandma Eleanor's birthday is December 2nd and Ella will be born on December 4th! Most know that James was named to honor my Dad, but few know that James' original due date was actually April 8th, only one day after my dad's birthday. 🎈 James' blog was recently updated with October's post. It will be the last scheduled update for the blog. This year has been a year of progress and blessings for us! Moving forward all future blog posts will be forwarded from Facebook.  #maternityphotos #countdown #thankfulgratefulblessed

This will be the last scheduled blog update! Being in the 3rd trimester and then having bronchitis for a month has been exhausting to say the least. Sorry this has taken forever to update! 🗣️ At the beginning of the month, James had his speech therapy evaluation with Wolfson's Rehabilitation. Afterwards we realized that this drive just wasn't going to work. They wanted to schedule 30 minute appointments twice a week. It was over an hour to get there. Mom pushed for a 1 hour appointment once a week instead, but that made it really hard to schedule. They have very little available. Mom would try to find a speech therapist closer but use them until then. 🤸🏻‍♂️ We are on several waiting lists for therapy. The goal is to have Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Speech Therapy at the same location close by. For Feeding Therapy we will need drive to downtown Jacksonville to Wolfson's because that is the only location in the area that will be familiar with transitioning ...
