The Birth of Nathan John

I'm able to blog from my iPad now so, you should be seeing some more posts coming this week. Here are the stats on our little guy.

Nathan John was born at 9:31AM. He was 8lbs 12 oz and 21 inches long. Amanda was super happy because they allowed him to be with her the whole time during the surgery. When he came out they did the quick eye goop and the vitamin k shot and then he was back at Amanda's head. Usually they have taken the kids to the nursery to do all of this.

Things went pretty well in the hospital. Amanda had some major bleeding immediately after we go into our room, but they were able to get that under control with some medicine. It was a little scary, but we are thankful everyone is all right.

We're home now and glad to be. I'll write more soon about the other kids and their reactions to their new brother. Thanks for all of you that prayed for us in the last few days.

He is a sweetie! Wish I could hold him myself! Love the photos of the kids with him - so adorable. Glad Amanda is well and everything was taken care of. I'm sure that was scary.
