Happy 4 Months, Weston

Dear Weston,

Today you turn 4 months old. I still remember holding you for the first time like it was yesterday. The time is going by too fast. I feel that with all the medical issues, you are being robbed of your infancy, and probably some of your childhood innocence... We still go to at least one doctor's appointment per week, and you have been hospitalized 4 times. Every month I hope and pray that the next month will hold better fortune for you. I guess, in a way this past month has not been too bad. With the placement of your central line in early October, you have not been stuck in well over a month. (except for last Thursday)

My sweet, little boy...you are such a joy. Your big smile lights up the entire room and our hearts. Maybe it is all you have been through, but you seem very aware and knowing...like an old soul.

Just this past month, you have started laughing. What a wonderful sound! You love to laugh, too.

I adore you. I love watching you rub your little eyes...sleep with your arms over your head or one across your eyes, like I do. I love your determination to not be restricted by your swollen belly.

You have really become much more active in this last month. You enjoy playing in your gym and MUST sit up to see what is going on...and watch a little tv.

You love your sister. You smile when you see her picture. You beam at her when she comes home from school. You know her voice and turn your head toward the phone when we talk to her.

Weston, you are sleeping in my arms right now, so content...and so am I. Sleep peacefully, my happy boy.

I love you.
Mommy
