All in all, Day 13 was a good day!
Zachary is now up to 1 pound, 15.6 ounces and the doctor has increased his food intake to 9 ccs, every three hours. He sleeps a lot in his warm, dark baby condo. Today Daddy got to hold him while Mommy read him a Dr. Seuss story. He is starting to stay awake more of the time when Daddy and Mommy hold him, he loves to open his eyes when being held. Earlier this evening, Mommy sang him to sleep when he was a bit agitated while trying to get comfy. He really is soothed by hearing his parents' voices. He truly is just so amazing.
Today Mommy got some good news too, she got to go home! Since we live about 45 minutes away from the hospital, we have temporarily moved in with Stephen's folks, who live a mere 10 minutes away (thanks again to Granny and Grandpa David for letting us stay with you!). Mommy and Daddy had a hard time leaving the hospital without Zachary, but were excited about leaving too, it had been almost seven weeks since Kim had walked in on that scary day her water broke. Thinking back to how much has changed since we first checked in, we again thank God for how blessed we are. FYI, we've only called the hospital twice to check on him since leaving. ;)
Sorry for the lack of pictures today, but we'll try to get some up over the weekend. Thanks so much for all of the prayers, comments, emails and calls. We appreciate each and every one of you and send our love to all!
Stephen, Kim & Zachary

Congrats and Mazel Tov! I cried when I read that you read him a story. How sweet! Much love!
So wonderful to hold him & raed to him & to see him respond to you & to know he is comforted by your touch & voices.
It has been a long journey, but now, your angel is here & you are able to be with him daily...I know it will be hard being out of the hospital, but he is in the best of care, growing & getting stronger & stronger so he can go home with you, and before you know it, that day will come too!
So proud of you both...You both are an inspiration to us all...Way to go Mom & Dad...Take care, rest, be well & keep us all posted. We will be thinking & praying for you ALL!
Hi Kim, Stephen & Zachary!
Great news! We are so glad that you were able to go home yesterday, Kim. That's wonderful! We hope that you are feeling well and that you will feel even better with each passing day. It sounds like little Zachary is progressing very nicely. He is gaining weight and really thriving with so much love and support from his Mommy and Daddy. I know that he really enjoyed hearing his first bedtime story! How beautiful! I know that you both are very proud of your son. He is doing so well. Before you know it, he will be able to come home and you will have your precious little baby boy with you forever! We said prayers for all of you last night at Temple! Stay well and give Zachary a little kiss for us!
All our love, Aunt Sharon & Uncle Arnie
Congratulations and best wishes! My prayers have always been with you, Kim and with Stephen - and now you have Zachary. I know your joy is complete.
Clint and I pray that God will continue to bless you and your wonderful son. I know how much he is wanted and loved.
Mary S.
