Jon's Surprise

Jon's nurse practitioner was able to pull some strings and brought a doppler machine to Jon's room so he would be able to hear his baby's heartbeat. However the baby didn't cooperate and we were unable to hear it, so the wonderful nurses decided to bring a portable sonogram machine up to his room and Jon and I were able to see the baby for the first time together! We received our first pictures of Baby Bruce. We also got to see it move for the first time, it was really exciting and made Jon's day! He told all of his doctors and the nurses about what happened. I think almost every nurse came to Jon's room to see his new picture. He was like a celebrity that all the nurses were talking about. It really lifted his spirits and he has had good day ever since :)

Yesterday he worked with the physical therapist and they showed him how to safely go up and down steps once he comes home. He started with 2 stairs and said "okay now whats next?" they were pretty easy for him. Then he went to a full flight of stairs, he was able to do the whole thing slowly! He was out of breath when he got to the top but he did it! 

For now we are just hanging out in the hospital getting stronger. 

Thanks you for all of your support!
