Just saying "hi"

Just wanted to check in and tell everyone "hello" and let you know we really have no new news but no news is good news.. Macario is doing good and growing so much, he loves to play now and tries to talk to you and sometimes is really loud about telling you what is on his mind lol.... He is also smiling really big also, I've been trying to get a good picture of him smiling to post on here but everytime i get the camera ready he is too fasinated with the camera and wont smile.

We are waiting for the Super Bowl on Sunday (GO STEELERS!!!!) and hopefully will have some family and friends to join us.. Macario has a Steeler onsie to wear that his aunt Kathy got him for Christmas so he is ready to go..Of course Martin is not a steeler fan being from Washington but, he is going to be for them because of us. (i think)

We will update soon and hopefully have some new "smiling" pictures for you soon

Hi everyone
We went to the doctors today and got pretty good news... the bleed is not worse it is still stable and may be just slightly better (yeah) we were very excited about that.. He also got his RSV shot today and didn't like that at all (but i don't blame him).

He was 9.2 pounds and 21 1/4 inches long, he is growing so fast it amazes me everyday. The doctor said to start feeding him cereal twice a day now and i know Macario is going to be happy about that because he really enjoys his cereal at night now.

Day by day is how we are taking it but i have to admit that each day I truly feel blessed that he is here with us and doing so much better.

I will update soon and we hope you enjoy the new pics we put on, we will put more on in the next couple of days.


love; kim

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone!!! We hope everyone had a happy new year, we did. Actually we just stayed home and enjoyed our perfect son. Daddy brought home hats, confetti and horns to blow at midnight. He also brought home a cute tiara for me to wear, that had flashing lights which Macario liked.

I took Macario to the doctors on Friday and he weighed 8.10 1/2 WOW we couldn't believe it, he is getting so big. They said he was doing good but they were a little concerned about the head circumference when they did the head measurement, so he is scheduled for another ultrasound on the 19th of this month, and we are praying that all goes well and it is not getting worse, if it is getting worse, depending on how bad, the next step may be to have a shunt put in to drain the fluid. Please continue to pray with us that this is not the case, we are believing in God once again to heal him of this bleed.

As I stated before we are involved in the birth to three program through WVU and they have all done thier assessments on him and feel he is where he needs to be according to his adjusted age (when he should have been born). The physical theripist will be coming in once a month for now and working with us and Macario and helping to keep an eye on him to make sure we are keeping on the right track. Her name is Kim also and she seems like she is going to work out really well working with us. If the need arise she will come more often but, as little as he is we felt that once a month is going to be fine.

We hope you all had a wonderful new years, and pray for each of you to have a wonderful 2009!!! Thank you again and please continue to keep Macario in your prayers.
