Little Man!

I am so excited to share my story with you!  I am now getting big enough to fit in some of my winter outfits that my friends made me! My sister's love to dress me up in them, and take a photo shoot! Some people treat me by my size, but I am older than I look, and smarter than they think! I don't care to be treated like a baby. I may not look like it now, but I am really strong like my daddy! I have blue eyes like my mommy but most people say that I look like my daddy. Compared to other babies my age, I look like I have a lot of catching up to do! But I know that God made me this size for a reason, even if I don't know what that reason is. It must be a good one!! God makes no mistakes! If your wondering what life is like for a baby my size, well, everything around me seams double the size that is really is. Lots of really tall people looking down at me, and constantly moving around me. Sometimes I have words laid out in my head, and I want to say them to my family, but the words don't come out how I want them too. And no matter how hard I try, I can't get people to understand what I am saying. They try so had to understand, but I can tell that they are very confused! When I was in the N.I.C.U, there were other babies that were much smaller than me. Their mommy's looked so worried, trying to piece the puzzle together in their head, praying that her baby would make it through tonight, so she could hold her child in her arms and tell her that everything would be OK. God blessed me tremendously, and I have a lot to be thankful for. I hope that I can be an inspiration to those who are small like me, and to the mommy's and daddy's that have little ones to care for!

I'm getting bigger

Dear Friends,  My mommy says that the Lord is answering all of your prayers, because I am getting bigger! I still have a lot of catching up to do, but with lots of patience I will be big and strong like my daddy. There are a lot of Doctors that are very concerned with my size, but mommy says that God made me small for a reason, and that I am special just the way I am.
I guess you could say that the Doctors have become my friends, since I see them so much.
BIG gifts come in SMALL packages. Just like me! I may be small but my family says that I am their big gift from God. I don't like seeing everyone worried and afraid that I will never grow to a healthy size, I just want everyone to trust and love me the way I am. My family is so special to me, and I know they love me so much. Thank you everyone for being my friend, and praying for me. You guys are my prayer warriors!!
                                                             
                                                                              Love,

Each day is another Smile

                    

    Every day for me is so exciting! I get to eat, sleep, and spend time with my family. There are a lot of things that I am just to small to do on my own right now, but mommy says that when I am older, I will be big enough to do them. My sisters love to take pictures of me, and I enjoy making funny faces for them! My mommy has to talk to a lot of Doctors for me, and make a lot of appointments for me. She is so good to me! Everything my family does, they do because they love me. I couldn't ask for a better family! Thank you God for giving me them!

Growing Up

                                                             A Month Old

            

I am now a month old, and I'm growing ! I am still very small for my age, but I know i will get bigger. Many people are praying for me, and I know that God will answer their prayers. Sometimes I get hungry in the middle of the night, and mommy comes and feeds me, so I will go back to sleep. Daddy and mommy love to watch me sleep, and make me laugh. There are times when I get sick, and I don't feel like eating, but my family knows that God will answer their prayers. And after waiting, trusting and being patient,  He did! My sister's had to take turns feeding me and holding me, I never thought that holding a really tiny baby could be so much fun. I lived in a girls world when my daddy wasn't home, that meant that I had to go in my car seat and drive all the way into town, just to go shopping, I didn't understand it! I didn't go into town a lot though, just because i was so small, and i needed good rest at home.  Thank you family for praying for me. And thank you God for answering their prayers.

Home from the hospital

                                                             I'm going home !

After sleeping in the hospital for ten days, the Doctor said i was strong enough to go home. My family gathered up all my things, and said good bye to my care takers. Daddy was very cautious about my sister's holding me or even touching me. I was an extremely delicate baby. I even had a sign on my car seat that said " Please wash your hands before touching mine". There was a whole world out there full of germs, and as long as i stayed as small as i was, I couldn't be exposed to any of them. I loved to look out through my crib, and see the world in motion. I could see my mommy's sad face as she talked about how small I was. Even though I was small, it didn't stop me from doing big things. My sisters dressed me in what they called a "cute" outfit, and put me beside their babydoll, who was only 17 inches long, and sure enough, I was still smaller.

Early Beginning

My name is Jesse, and this is the beginning of my BIG adventure!

I was born on October 4th  2008 a month early from my due date. I weighed 4 lb. and had the tiniest hands and feet. I spent the night in an incubator for the first ten days of my life. My mommy and daddy would come and visit me in the N.I.C.U rocking me in their arms until I fell asleep. Telling me how special I was and how much they wanted me to come home. I was born with a small, but Mighty heart! I would hear my family pray over me that I would grow big and strong and love the Lord with all my heart! Gods heavenly angels watched over me each night while i was in the hospital. There were some days when my mommy tried again and again to get me to eat my food, but I just wouldn't. Thank you daddy, mommy and sister's for loving me and caring for me each step of this journy.
