Seriously the cutest baby ever in the whole world!!!
Grandma loves to hold baby Jack. She'll even change his diaper.
Daddy "pope" kisses are the best!!
That binki is bigger than he is. 
Today was an uneventful day, which is good, his platelets barely dropped. At rounds they said if he keeps gaining weight and his platelets come back in the morning and they've stayed around where they were today that he could come home tomorrow or even the next day for sure. He didn't do too good on his feedings today because he was very sleepy. Tomorrow I'm taking his car seat to do a "test" run beside his crib to make sure he keeps his heart rate normal and his breathing normal. They have this long list of things you have to pass off before you can take your baby home. *has to hold temperature with a night gown on.
*has to be in a crib
*has to pass the car seat test
*parents have to watch a movie on "shaken baby syndrome"
*parents have to watch a video on infant CPR
*parents have to certify at infant CPR
*has to gain weight every day for 5 consecutive days
I'm sure I'm missing one or two. And for Jack his platelets have to drop at a slow rate or grow on some days. When he does go home I'll be bringing him back to Primary's every other day to get his platelets checked and maybe get a transfusion every 7th or 8th day depending on how quickly he drops down below 50,000. Today was a good day!!

I hope that he gets to come home within the next couple days. That will be so nice for you guys. I remember doing the car seat test for Savanna.
Yay Jack! Good luck with the list.
You are all so adorable. What a precious family! You guys are so inspiring and so positive, I am not sure I could be that strong. Hats off to you! I am glad to hear things are on the rise for the little man! It will be so much fun to have him home, away from the hospital.
