2 weeks old!

Hello readers! Long time, no post! There is a tiny little being that is absorbing all of my time, as well as stealing my heart! Blake is doing wonderfully! We were discharged from the hospital with a "bili blanket" order to keep his jaundice at bay, but we were told we could stop the light therapy the very next day after his blood was redrawn! Blake was at risk (due to the antibody in my blood) for being both anemic and more jaundice than a normal newborn. His blood counts after birth were great and the jaundice that he did experience we believe to be no more than what would occur normally. So as it turns out, we had a long, worrisome pregnancy with a perfect result! God has blessed us so much and your prayers have seen us through!

I have posted a link to his birth picture on the upper right side of this page, so if you would like you can visit and view a few different pictures that were taken of him at the hospital, as well as post a message. I would like to clarify that he was actually 20.5 inches long instead of the 20.25 inches I was told originally. Here is a picture, as well, taken yesterday at 2 weeks. My, how he has changed already! (I've also updated Evan and Blake's pictures on the sidebar).
