Little Sweet Heart

Praise the Lord ~ Jonathan's sweet little heart looks perfect. Yes, there is a murmur, but it is your typical newborn/innocent murmur just like his big sister Abby had. The size of his heart even looked exactly as it should for his age and size.

Speaking of size, He was 21½" and weighed in at 9 lbs 15 oz - that was with no clothes on, so he's grown even since Saturday night! He was so cooperative during the Echo cardiogram. The gel was nice and warm when they put it on his chest, so he spent the first few moments mesmerized by the screen and then fell asleep.





We are widdling away at the "big stuff" until we finally narrow it down to an official diagnosis of Laryngomalacia. The Cardiologist commented on his stridor (squeaky breathing)and told me we could anticipate him sounding worse until he's about 6 months old. After that time, things will gradually get better as he becomes stronger. I guess the little guy has to do something to be heard in a house with 4 siblings :)
