Today has been a gorgious fall day here in Kansas City. We took Granton to a nearby park for a picnic to get out. The neighborhood was in a historic district, so the park had lots of tall old trees. Granton enjoyed swinging in our laps, and we enjoyed hearing him laugh under his mask. He has been so happy lately and making me happy to see him drink and eat so well. We received some high calorie soy milk and juice from the nutritionist and Granton loves them both! I went to the hospital to get more in hopes of tipping the scales on Monday. Speaking of weight, Thursday's weight was probably more than Monday instead of the same. On Monday, he weighed on an adult scale wearing clothes, and Thursday he weighed on a baby scale without clothes. After I thought of this, I felt much better and am expecting good results at our next visit. I will also take the initiative to find the same scale everytime when we arrive at our appointment as I did Thursday. Hopefully, the team will be less likely to remind us that they are worried about his weight if the results are more consistant and accurate. Despite the scale issue, he acts and looks healthier this week than in the past and we are feeling more confident in his progress.
We are also pleased to announce the upcoming arrival of Granton's little brother or sister! We are due in April around Easter. Along with our new blessing, Daniel's sister surprised us by announcing she is due the same month. We are all shocked and excited at the timing of events.
Happy Saturday,
Jenni

Congratulations! What an awesome blessing for the entire family. Granton is going to have so much fun with a new little brother or sister! I remember when my twins were born. My oldest daughter was a year and 6 days old and she thought we got those babies just for her to play with!
We're continuing to pray for Granton's weight gain and weaning from medications. It's easy to see with every new picture you post that he is feeling better each day.
Again, congratulations on ALL the wonderful news!

That is so great. It will be so good for Granton to have a broter or sister. He will be so good to them. Not to mention that the baby will be so lucky to have you as parents. We were just talking about other families that have been in the PICU who are pregnant. I thought of you guys.
It was so nice here and I am so glad you got out with him and as a family.
As always give him a hug and kiss and the baby a rub!

Congratulations! I was suspicious that you might be pregnant, Jenni. With being sick and in one of the latest pictures, I wondered. I will pray for a easy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Sounds like Granton is doing really good! Will continue to pray for him too. Love and prayers, Kim P.
Golly gee whiz what a week!Just got through jumpin' over Dawna's announcement and the very nest day here is another extra special one! How am I gonna survive this? Happily, I;ll tell you for sure. These little cousins are probably the most fortunate babies to be making their en trance into this world in 2009. What special, special parents ! What blest little 209ers. Jackson was baptized this morning so I went to Quail Springs church. A great occasion. The services were especially good and appropriate at this time, Sunday school on faith when things seem to be going wrong, and worship, Keep on praying, Luke 8. So we will do that, keep on praying for Granton and for the new little shavers not any bigger than Granton's fist!And for their wonderful faithful parents and grands. Love and prayers, Gram
Congratulations you three! I have been ecstatic all week after hearing your news! I could not wait to share the news with my Sunday School class this morning. We will keep praying for Granton to continue doing so well and putting on weight and also, for the new babies in our future.
