Well, it is James' one month birthday tomorrow. We are happy to announce that he is "chunking up" as the cardiologist said yesterday. In the month since he was born he has gained over two pounds. You heard me, James now weighs approximately 8 lbs and 10 oz! I knew he would make a comeback. Speaking of cardiologist, many of you know that James was born with a heart murmur or however you spell it. It was examined by ultrasound in the hospital and we were told it was no big deal and would heal itself in a year. Well, when we went to see the cardiologist from UK, he thinks that it is bigger than we have been told, but don't panic. He said that since James is gaining so much weight so quickly, the hole in the heart obviously is not affecting him. We go back in one month for another check-up and then we will go every 6 months for checkups. The cardiologist did think that it would take longer for the hole to close up than we had been told. He thinks it will close by itself when James is in early adolescence. So, the moral of the story is that weight gain can sometimes be very beneficial! Other than that, James and I have been working out. We go walk at the capital, especially since it has been much nicer weather. James has also started to sleep in his crib in his nursery. We have a very nice mobile and waterfall soother that help him relax. On the subject of a sitter, we are still looking. I have some names and places to call this week to ask about openings. Enjoy the pictures. I will be posting another album on shutterfly for all to view soon. BTW, GO CATS! BEAT L-VILLE! Go VOLS!
