11 weeks ago...

11 weeks ago my water broke....11 weeks ago I experienced fear on a level I have never known...11 weeks ago I looked straight into the depths of Divinity...11 weeks ago seems like a lifetime away....it is amazing how life can change so drastically in just 11 weeks...ours certainly has...

We are just weeks away from him coming home...he is doing sooo good. Everyone in the NICU talks about how well he has done for being born so premature. Our little warrior. He now weighs 4lbs 13 oz...can you even believe it? He is up to 4 bottle/breast feeds a day now. He still has to get better at it and be able to take the full amount, but they are definitely giving him the opportunity to practice now. Once he can do 8 feeds a day with no residuals and no episodes...it will be time to come home!!!!!!!

...and then little Clark will be ready to go for Sushi (just check out his outfit)

  3. I think the outfit inspired him to meditate... or perhaps dream about swords and dragons and all the adventures that await the little tyke's awakening imagination. :):)

  10. Y'all do realize that updates on Clark have become the highlight of my day...:-) I am so estatic rediculously happy that's he doing so well. I am so shocked and amazed that he's pushing the 5 pound barrier.

    On a somewhat sad note I actually have a shirt that resembles Clark's outfit. Looks way cute on him, but for me it's a reminder of a tragic fashion period in my youth.

  11. This is ridiculous. I've been there, and I can just take one look at these pictures -- his cheeks, his color, the look in his eyes -- and know that Clark is going to do just fine in life. I am so happy for you guys.

  12. Oh, you guys!!! This boy just keeps getting cuter and cuter, and just when you think, "That's it! He can't get any cuter. . ." Well - you see this picture! It's a joy to see Clark progressing from day to day. Thanks for sharing with us.
