We got word yesterday that Jaxon will be home on Friday. He’s doing really well and as long as he doesn’t have any problems between now and then, he will be ready to come home. We are excited to have our little one home! It’s as if having a new baby hasn’t been real. I’m…

More good news on Jaxon! They just moved him from the NICU to the “Special Care Nursery.” They haven’t given us any timeline still, but I’m assuming that means he will be home within a few days (if not tomorrow). Yesterday, they removed the PICC line which was an IV that went down into an…

At 9:09 PM last night (Dec 3, 2007), Jaxon Spencer Wilson was born! He tipped the scales at 6 lbs even and 18 inches. He was almost a full month early and so his lungs were a little under-developed. He has spent some time in the NICU (and is currently still in there), but they…
