Zion is almost 2 months old!!!

Can you believe it?? Zion will be 2 months old next week!! It's so amazing how much he's grown and changed! It's hard to believe that he's been here 2 months already! What really makes it hard is that he's been in NICU the whole time and we're just NOW getting close to bringing him home! But he's doing so great! He's amazing the doctors and nurses everyday with his strength and independence! He's the most precious little baby I've ever seen! But I'm a little partial! hehe
He had a little set back this past Thursday where his tummy and abdomen swelled up quite a bit and he was spitting up his food all day. So, they ran tests on him and thought he might have an infection of the intestines called Necrotizing Inter-colitis. But all the tests they did came back negative! PRAISE THE LORD!!! The only thing the doctors could figure out was that he just had bad gas and he just needed to get some relief from it! He was definitely a trooper during the whole thing! They stopped feeding him from Thursday night until last night (Tuesday night)! He cried quite a bit because his little tummy was growling! But they started feeding him again last night, and he's MUCH happier! :) So, hopefully he'll be coming home soon!!! Thanks to everyone for the prayers and support! He's doing MUCH better and getting stronger everyday! I just can't WAIT to have him home!!!!
