Health

Well, I thought maybe I could get away without posting something about little man's health but that's not the case..........hopefully someday!!! Connor continues to gain weight and is doing well managing his reflux with his meds ~ last appointment he weighed 13.9lbs! His blood pressure is still a struggle for us. We started noticing orange urine in Connor's diapers and when we told the doctor they were concerned that his bp meds were effecting his kidneys. They stopped his bp meds and we went to the doctor just about everyday to have his pressure monitored. After about a week and his blood pressure continually getting higher they decided to put him on a different medicine that hopefully won't effect his kidneys. This medicine isn't generally used on babies but it's our only choice at this point in time. We go to the doctor tomorrow for a follow up so we will see how things are. He continues to need your prayers!

First Swim!!!




During our trip to Kansas my mom and I took Connor to visit his Great Grandparents and extended family in Downs, KS. While we were there Connor went for his first swim! He absolutely loved it! We used his cousin Will's floaty and he floated around and kicked his legs like crazy! Hopefully he continues to be a little water bug!

Baptism


Connor was baptized on June 27th in Hays. We were lucky enough to be able to do it at St. Mary's church in Hays so our friends and family could be there. We were also blessed to have both of Connor's godparents, Katie and Stuart, there to be a part of the baptism. The baptism was followed by a great bbq with friends and family at my parents house! They really worked hard to make the party fun and it was!!!

Trip to Kansas





Connor made his first official trip to Kansas this summer! The car ride was a bit tough for him but we broke it up for him and he made through! We really enjoyed spending time with friends and family and loved having Connor meet some of them for the first time! Here are a couple of pictures from our trip!
