10 weeks

Can anyone believe that 10 weeks ago Henry was born? 10 weeks, and he's doing AMAZING!
To celebrate 10 weeks, here are 10 facts about Henry Joseph:
1. He spent 16 days in NICU, that's 22.8% of his life (decreasing daily)
2. Nickname: Turtle. He's slow moving, mellow, and has a very small bottom jaw.
3. He is grounded until he's 16. (you can't put your parents through that much stress and not expect to be grounded!)
4. Through his cleft palate, you can see his nasal septum.
5. He has no uvula.
6. He's worth about $83,000. (though priceless to us)
7. He smiles with his eyes.
8. He loves Bob-Bob's rendition of "God Bless America"
9. He's one in 8500 kids who can say he has Pierre-Robin sequence.
10. He's taught us that everything happens for a purpose, sometimes you just have to be patient.

(yes, that's a dime on his tummy... 10 weeks!)

Clearly I haven't finished my coffee, as it took me a while to connect the dime to 10 weeks. Clever! Love you.
