MTV Cribs NICU Edition

After moving to the big boy crib we wanted to make sure JD was sleeping in style sooooo we pimped it out. Notice the picture of Connor in the crib giving JD the thumbs up, Connor is very happy JD is gaining weight like a champ.

JD's animals watch over him every night

Happy Crosstown Classic Weekend

It is a beautiful weekend in Chicago, with the exception of the protesters currently living next door to us. It smells like the 60s in the streets or how I imagine the 60s would smell. Anyway, JD wanted to celebrate Cubs vs. White Sox by wearing his Cubs outfit. Remember opening day when we could only lay it on him because he was a tiny 3lbs well now he can actually wear it. It may not totally fit him but he deserves to wear it more than some of the actual Cubs players.

"Take me out to the ballgame . . ."

April 5, 2012 - 3lbs

May 18, 2012 - 4lbs 12oz

And of course, JD was dying to show off Aunt Katie/Nia’s special gift. She sure knows how to make our little man smile in style.

Our favorite cub of all

As of Saturday, JD is tipping the scales at 4lbs 13oz. If any one questioned whether or not he would continue to gain weight in the open-air crib JD just proved you wrong – obviously.

JD ready to take on the world outside of the NICU

Nate and I celebrated our 4^th anniversary on May 17^th with a conversation with the surgeon, homemade tacos (I finally cooked again), Skinny Girl cocktails/beer, a little Connor time, and a little JD time. There is absolutely nothing I would change about the day. I will post more about the medical stuff later but know that JD is, as always, dominating the NICU.

7 years together, 4 years married, 2 incredible boys, 1 magnificent lifetime

 Hope everyone has a marvelous weekend enjoying the gorgeous weather.
