B: Dad, Spencer is crying. D: He’s hungry. I’ll feed him. B: (eyes wide, and sincere as ever) Daddy, you […]

Spencer is 1 month old today! Wow. Just over a week ago we took Spencer off the oxygen, spent a couple of days testing his saturation levels, and finally last week we returned the oxygen tank and the monitor to Intermountain Home Care. The day we took it off of him I just kept singing […]

Baby Update
