4 months!!!

I got to spend the evening with Wesley, celebrating 4 months today!!!! He weighed in at 7 lbs 5 oz. Most people get fun things for their birthday (or unbirthday), but poor Wesley got an IV in the head!!! It looks like they had trouble finding a good vein because he had 3 other spots on his head that looks like they tried to insert the IV line there. I felt so bad for him. But overall I must say it's a great day. We have been blessed by Wesley's presence for 4 months now. I got very emotional tonight just thinking about it all. I just thought of all we have been through in the past 4 months, all the things he has fought his way through, and all the prayers that lifted him through the good times and the bad. I think about how blessed I am to have him. By all statistical measures, he shouldn't be here. God has big plans for this little guy... I can't wait to see what those plans are. I just stared at my little baby boy tonight and thought of how perfect he is. Yes, he has the tubes for breathing, feeding, and medicine, and of course he has some major medical issues, but those all seem so insignificant in the greater picture. I just couldn't help admiring him tonight. 10 perfectly formed fingers and 10 perfectly shaped toes. Beautiful thick black eyelashes and big bold (appear to be turning green) eyes. Cute little button nose and chubby little baby cheeks. I am so thankful for my time with him, but I truly cannot imagine life without him!!!
