TD’s appointment went great!

Truck is

a natural

a fighter

a warrior.

he weighed in at

10lb 9oz.

weight is a

BIG DEAL

in cf kiddos.

the bigger the better.

helps grow healthier lungs.

while still not up to cf

‘standards’

{of the 50th percentile}

we’re getting there

&

we will get there.

some days it’s hard to

just breathe.

thinking about how ‘easy’ it was to feed emmery,

worry free

no applesauce,

no enzymes,

no salt.

today,

i looked at

Mr. TDMertens

my heart skipped a beat.

the worry feeling just escaped.

seeing how he was made

perfect

just the way God intended.

he’s the handsome-est little guy

{i may be biases}

emmery & truck

blow me away each day

just when you think you couldn’t love your kids anymore

b.o.o.m.

God smacks ya in

your face.

I am truly grateful God chose us

to ride this journey

&

I really do need to stop

&

enjoy it.

:: Mr. TD :: One Month ::

Where on earth has this first month gone?!

{btw I count date to date

not weeks, too difficult}

I can hardly believe it’s been

One month

Since TD has joined our world.

Dear Mr. TD-

Happy 1 Month!

You have stolen our hearts

&

the hearts of many.

Your first month has had some

hard at times,

But you make it very easy!

We wouldn’t change it for the world.

You’ve had some

BIG

Things happen in the short month.

Diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis

{But CF will not define you}

You met so many people.

You were baptized into God’s Family

on Pentecost Sunday

 {how cool is that?}

After getting some enzymes in you

You’re up & over your birth weight

Almost 8lbs

You are very easy going!

You love your sleep

{which we love too}

You’re starting to fill out newborn clothes

You are a true blessing to us,

Trenton.

We’re excited to watch you grow

Big.

Strong.

&

Brave.

Love, 

Momma & Dada
