The Many Adventures of Parenthood






Well, it has been awhile since my first blog and I thought it was time for an update. Jonathan has kept us very busy by teaching us how to be parents and how to treat a special young man. We have been to the pediatrician twice and he now is weighing in at almost 14 pounds! We are shocked at how fast he is growing. He is presently 2 months and 19 days old. We have had a few mishaps over the past few months. When he was 6 weeks old, I cut his thumb so deep with the nail clippers that he got an infection. We had to visit the After Hours clinic. I was mortified that I had hurt him but the nurses and doctors all made me feel better/helped me forgive myself for hurting him! About a week later he started getting really sick and we had to go back to the pediatrician. Jonathan was allergic to his formula and is now back to normal. He is on special formula that I am sure when he stops taking it we will be able to take that money and start a college fund for him. WOW! HE has continued to be a blessing and we are so thankful to God daily for His timing. We have hit some snags with the birthfather that will delay the finalization of the adoption. We are praying and knowing that God will take care of all these issues for us. Please keep us in your prayers that these issues will resolve as quickly as possible.
