Our Simon is turning 2 years old!! We can NOT believe how fast time is flying by. I know, I know, everyone is saying that! But still. Its true! Looking back at these pictures, it is kind of crazy to remember all that we were thinking and feeling and praying about in those days. So many unknowns, so many what-ifs. Putting all our trust and our expectations and desires for a healthy baby, into God's hands. Seeing how much our faith grew and our trust in our God developed is an amazing thing. Going from the initial mind-blowing, gut wrenching shock of our baby quite possibly having a cancerous tumor, to feeling God's peace filling us telling us His way is best.
Our little fella weighing in at 8 lbs 9 oz, my biggest baby (but only by a few ounces)!
Daddy with Simon as he got his first of many sonograms.
Going home after having to spend 2 nights in the hospital while they checked him over!
Look at that tiny little guy! He didn't stay small for long!!
We kinda forget things as life goes on. Simon was born with a quite large bump on his head, but it faded after a couple months.
That fluffy blue striped blankie is still his fave! He's gotta have it to sleep!
Proud big brothers.
Even still, we know just how special Simon is. With sonograms at different intervals, his tumor continued to shrink from starting out at about 3 cm, until at 18 months old, the sonogram technician and the radiologist reading the images, could not find a tumor at all. God healed our boy. He chose to allow us to continue to raise him for the time being and entrust us with him. For that, we are so so grateful. Simon was covered in prayers from all over and we felt those and God heard those and gave us the desire of our hearts.
We are so happy to be celebrating the 2 year mark of having Simon in our lives!! Happy birthday tomorrow buddy!
