We got together for a Bradley class reunion. While I was pregnant with Jadon I attended a Bradley birth class given by my friend Sadie, she was getting re-certified so she invited me to attend the class for free. I had never taken a birthing class before.
In the pictures are Charlotte with her son Xavier (born 3/6/09) and Jadon and I. We made good memories during the course of the class and our pregnancy.
Today we moved. I briefly set Jadon down in his 10 mo. old cousin Preston's chair while I moved boxes. What a mess it was moving 3 households at the same time. My sister and I switched homes, she lived here at my parents and is now living in my home, I live in my parents home and my parents live in another home they own in NE Portland.
Today I solicited help from our sweet neighbor (whom we will miss very much) Anna. She wore Jadon in her home for a while so I could get some packing and cleaning done in preparation for our move.
Jaren with Jadon. Today Jadon had a dr. appointment as a follow up to his hospital stay. He is 25 inches long and weighs 15 pounds, he's almost doubled his birth weight of 8 lbs 4 oz. He is in the 95%. A big, healthy, happy boy!
Today was a very special day for our family. Jadon got his name and blessing in church today. Grandpa Graham, Steve Mortenson, Bishop Hymas, and Brother Mills
were in the blessing circle with Paul who gave him his blessing. He was blessed with wisdom to get through this life, a love of learning and that he would always get along with his brothers and sisters. Jadon wore the same outfit his daddy and two older brothers wore when they were blessed. Today was also Jaren's 7th birthday.
Jaren is holding Jadon. Jenea gave Jadon these tinker toys to hold. The kids thought this was quite a funny thing as he kept putting the toys in his mouth to chew on them.
Temperatures were in the 100's all week so we stayed at Grandma Grahams home for a few days to have air conditioning. I found a good spot to place Jadon in while I did come cleaning up.
Jadon in his hospital crib at OHSU Dornbecker. This was the first and only night we've slept apart. It was hard on both of us.
Jadons doctors examining him. They were ordered to wear those funny yellow clothes in case he had a bacterial infection, they didn't want to spread the infection to the other children in the hospital. Turns out he only had a viral infection.
