A few last hours

I'm struck at how fast this year has gone by. Seems just like yesterday I was driving in the middle of a blizzard in a rental car on hwy 75, as i29 had been closed down. And here I am now just a few hours away from being able to bring my son home from the NICU. I truly can not believe how fast this time has gone by.

Last night in the NICU

As I watch mom and son catch up on some on some sleep. I'm reminded of how blessed we are to have been chosen to be the parents of this child. I can't help but wonder what great things are in store for him, and how we can help prepare him for those things. I wonder how old he'll be when he breaks his first bone. Or what kinds of things he'll be interested in as boy. (Hoping big trucks) If he'll have his moms singing voice and not mine. I wonder if he'll get such a kick out of watching the dog jump into the lake to fetch her ball.
There are so many things that I wonder about. But right at this moment, all I wonder about are his dreams.

Sleeping with daddy

 

No more blue

As of this morning Jude has been taken off the billy lights. His Billy ribbon is down to 6. So we are very happy about that!  Jude was also circumcised this morning. So I kind of feel for him on that front. He is now wearing clothes!!! We really can't believe how much better Jude has been getting in the last few days. We are so thankful for your thoughts and prayers. 
Oh. I almost forgot. Jude is expected to be coming home on Wednesday of Thursday!!!! 
So once again. We thank you for you prayers!!! 
Jake, Ashley & Jude

Update 
So if Jude's CRP levels are far enough down he will be coming home on Wednesday after 4:30pm!!!
