Happy birthday Zachary!
Our big boy turns 2 today! Two years ago Zachary was born at 27 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 14 and 1/2 ounces and measuring 13 and 3/8 inches long. After a three month stint in the NICU (a HUGE shout out to the nurses, doctors, therapists and nursing assistants at The Women's Hospital of Texas and to Dr. Pinell and his staff) he came home to us and has continued his miraculous journey. At last count he was 30 inches tall and weighs 19 pounds, 7 ounces and is blessed with no lingering effects from his prematurity other than his size and lack of appetite (i.e., not gaining weight).
Here's a couple pictures of our amazing boy over the last week...

We thank all of you for all of your prayers and comments and following our amazing boy's journey. Love to all!
P.S. Today our friend Noah (and his folks) will get to meet the newest addition to their family! Congratulations Laura and Sami and Noah...we can't wait to meet your new baby girl. We love that she will share Zachary's birthday!

"Time really does fly!!! I remember those months of waiting for the miraculous birth! That morning will always be etched in my mind...a baby shower planned, contractions being watched and timed, medications being added and increased, contractions increasing, my final call to Dr. Pinell, and getting the order to transfer you to the OR, taking you over in your bed, explaining to your friends that there wasn't going to be a shower; but that they would be there while your little bundle of joy was born, being present during the birth, watching as little Zachary entered the world, and seeing the smiles and tears of joy on your and Stephen's faces - which were matched with my own.....the whole experince and journey was PRICELESS!!!!
Happy Birthday Zachary! May your day be filled with love, laughter, and lots of excitement!!
I miss you guys! Cone see me sometime!!!
Love you, Phyllis"
