Jonah's due date


today is Jonah's original due date. so, today marks him being considered "full term." In the nicu they talk alot about corrected gestational age. I am not sure how long it takes to catch up to other babies, I am sure it depends on how early the baby is, but as of now...our little guy is at 40 weeks! We have really settled into being a family. The county health nurse came out today and weighed him again...he is up to 7 pounds 14.5 ounces! Some of the "preemie" clothes that we got as gifts no longer fit! also alot of the hats that we have for him are more snug on his little head. but I love hats on him!
I am working on editing the millions of photos I have taken of him so far! I am also trying to work on a birth announcement...but choosing the photo is the tough part! Shawn (a friend of ours) suggested taking a photo of Jonah each day for his 1st year and then making a cd of those for his 1st birthday party. I cannot wait to see how much he changes from now till then, but I want to hang on to this sweet baby stage as long as I can too!

That's a great idea! Even now I look at our kids and try to figure out when they stopped being babies!
