Jack is doing great he's a eating monster, we were warned that our biggest hurdle at this point would be getting him to eat enough, but we haven't had that problem he would and does eat all day, our little bruiser is 8 lbs so he has surpassed his birth weight by almost a pound, which is great. the Dr's are very happy with him, we go and see the cranial facial department at St Barnebas on Wednesday so hopefully I'll have a lot more news about his cleft lip and palette after that. Here are some picture of them both for now.
This blog is to share with you our amazing babies. Not only will we very shortly be having our second child(yes I'm having contractions as I write) but it's also to document our son's journey as a cleft lip and palette baby, we will also be parents of 2 under 2, our daughter Ella was born July 11th 2010 and is currently a very active 14 month old. So I hope you enjoy, get a few laughs and maybe even learn a little something along with the Smith family.

2 weeks old
So were 2 weeks in and surviving with the help of my parents (thanks mum and dad!) were getting enough sleep. Ella is doing great with her little brother in the house, she mostly points and says jack, Jack, Jack over and over, when he cries she bring over his bottle with is very cute and rather helpful, she's loving all the visitors we've had and all the new toys!
