It has been over four years now since Holden joined our family. His journey started off bumpy and he's had to overcome some health challenges. But the Little Monkey continues to fight his way to becoming strong and healthy. We are so blessed to have him as our son. He inspires us and melts our hearts every day. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We've appreciated everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Baby Parker 1/19/08 Update

Just wanted you to know they've moved us to a much nicer, more comfortable and quieter room. We are now in room 127. Direct number is 404-459-1127. Hopefully this will be "home" for awhile.

Today's update on Baby Parker was very good. Both of our vitals were strong. The ultrasound was encouraging as my fluid seems to have increased slightly and the doctors were very pleased with the baby's activity that they saw. Not only was he active (sucking his thumb, kicking, etc). they were also able to see him swallow and use his stomach muscles - all good signs! So the doctors want to continue to take things day by day. I keep encouraging the little munchkin to stay in me a while longer!! I'd love to at least make it to 32 weeks. Or, ideally 36, but I don't know if the doctors will let us go that long.

Reece is here this afternoon and we've been enjoying watching the snow fall - from the nice view I now have in my new room. For those of you who don't live in the area, Atlanta has gotten between 1"-3" of snow! It is beautiful to watch it as it covers all of the surrounding buildings, grass and trees! I've attached one of the pictures Reece took of Alex enjoying it in our back yard this morning (see attached).

We hope everyone is having a great weekend. We'll be in touch when we have new news.

Love,
Christine & Reece
