A.N.X.I.O.U.S.L.Y!
Our little fellow is finally here.
It's been a long 38 weeks. Yes, he is early. But very healthy considering the health complications we learned about at 17 weeks. Our little guy has Gastroschisis.
He was born at 4:51 pm Thurs. June 10, 2010 and has already had surgery that lasted about 1 1/2 hrs... he is so strong! Got good lungs, and you can tell he is such a fighter!
I praise God for this little baby. I can't wait until I get to hold him and cradle him --- I know my daughter is longing for that moment even more than I . I want to touch his little hands and feet. I want to nuzzle his little cheek next to mine. I want to hold him and sing to him. I know my daughter will do these things-- she is a good mommy.
But as his Oma-- I'm just saying, I want to do these things too.
I am so proud of her. She is so strong. She is young and has been through a lot in her young years. I'm proud of my SIL too--- he did a great job today, he was strong for my baby girl. He kept his cool. He kept us informed.
I can't stand waiting! It was almost unbearable. Honey got there WITH THE BIG BROTHER, WHO KEPT ME COMPANY (smile) --after she was taken back to surgery--- and in NO time at all, it was announced that he was here! Born already. This is our first C-section in our family. It goes quicker than I thought!
No one was allowed back except for Daddy (SIL) ---until the baby was stable, AND THEN IT WAS NOT UNTIL AFTER HIS SURGERY!
But they finally let us come back there. I whispered to him what a big boy he is; A big boy and at 6 lbs 2 oz. -- that is a good size for a Gastroschisis baby (they typically have low birth weight) I told him that I love him and that Honey loves him. His Mommy loves him.
...and I told him that Jesus loves him. He's old enough to hear the Gospel now, I figure. :)
The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The LORD has made both of them. Proverbs 20:12
Praise God!
He may still need a few more surgeries. But we have confidence first in God and then the Doctors he has given to provide care.
If you think of our little one-- would you say a prayer for his recovery?
God Bless you
and
Thank you for reading!

Congratulations on the sweet grandbaby. I'm glad his surgery went well and that he's a strong little guy. That had to be hard, knowing he had problems and waiting for him to arrive.
I have a necklace that holds a little prayer box that holds a list of people that I pray daily for inside. I've added that little darlin's name to my list.
What a beautiful little blessing God has given you. I am so glad everything went well. Yes, he does look strong and healthy despite the complications, a fighter indeed. How lucky he is to be born into a family of faith. Of course he will be in my prayers and I'm sending cyber hugs to all of you as well.
