Baby Morgan Photos


Here's Morgan I think saying that she's Number 1....


Just too cute! With her "pearl-umbilical cord" necklace.
Playing dress up already.



My personal favorite--looks like she's sticking out her tongue at us. Ha ha ha!


Aw, so sweet!
I love that we have this technology to be able to see our baby! She is such a gift!


Getting sleepy.


Check out these muscles! These puppies are sick!


Time for a little toe sucking action!

The Latest News...............

Well updates on Caleb:

He is doing great and his eyes look amazing! It's so great to look at him when his glasses are off and both eyes look at you! He still has a hard time seeing far away in his left eye, but we're still patching 2 hours a day and praying that God will bring restoration to the vision in that eye. God has been so faithful already, we are just trusting in Him!

Baby Morgan update..................

We are 28 weeks and 1 day today and had an ultrasound to see how big our little Squishy is. And what a show she put on for us! I have lots of photos to share with you! She was just too funny. She usually is shy and runs for cover anytime an ultrasound machine, heart doppler, or even a hand comes down on the belly. And at first she was covering her face, but she warmed up and was just too funny! The 3D technology is just amazing and our little girl is just so beautiful! I'm so excited to meet her! And turns out she's measuring a bit on the large size, but I'm thinking that could be in confusion to her due date. The doctor changed the date in the beginning of the pregnancy due to the baby measuring smaller than the date I had given of my last mentrual cycle. But if you ask me, she caught up! Maybe they'll push my due date up a week. :)

Caleb's Surgery

Well most of you have heard the latest news, but here's a brief summary:

Caleb had his eye surgery yesterday in Miami and it went really, really well! God totally had His hand in the whole thing and He gave us so much favor! Especially with the wonderful doctor God has blessed us with. We kinda expected the whole thing to be rougher than it really was. However, Caleb has been through surgery before and has proven how resilient kids really are. He proved to be the same this time too. Recovery was a bit cranky, but that's to be expected. He refused to open his eyes until we were on the road back to the hotel. And then all of a sudden he was his usual chatterbox self. :) He had a hard time keeping anything in his tummy, but after a nice long nap he woke up so hungry and was able to eat a little bit. Caleb's doctor even called us late that night to check up on him. I thought that was really neat!

Today we had a follow-up with his eye doctor in Palm Beach Gardens. After the exam, his doctor felt his eyes have already improved greatly! Without his glasses, his eyes are working together now! Our prayer is they will stay that way so he only needs this surgery one time, and that his brain will turn the vision on his left eye.

What a challenge this whole thing has been in our family's lives. God has indeed been growing each of us. Even Jenna. When Caleb returned from recovery and was crying in my arms, she refused to finish her lunch (which never happens-food is one of her passions!) and just looked at him with such worry and concern. As difficult as it's been to go through this with Caleb, it's neat to see how God is refining us and teaching us about His love and grace. Through the whole thing, I could definitely see God's hand in every detail. He cared for us so lovingly, in a way that only He could do. :) We do serve an amazing, and loving God. Without Him, I could not have gone through this.

So in two months we will have our follow-up with the eye doctor. That's about the time it takes for the eyes to fully heal and settle into place. We're just praying that Caleb's eyes will settle together and no more lazy eye wondering off! Now, time to rest!

Oh wait.....Morgan will be here in 3 1/2 months! Whew! This is going by so fast! So much to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
