Sneak Peak at Abel's Nursery

i am pretty sure that Abel has the best room in the house. we are so thankful for everyone who helped make our nursery wonderful, we hope that many more children will be able to enjoy it. i, of course, will be enjoying our new comfy chair for many years :-)

abel's first words

Abel had jaundice when he was born which made him very sleepy and also necessitated him having some phototherapy - here is what he thought about the whole ordeal.

TWO WEEKS OLD!

We can't believe it, our sweet little Abel is 2 weeks old as of yesterday. the Lord continues to show us grace upon grace with him. he is healthy and is gaining weight like a champ (he eats every 3 hours) Abel sleeps most of the time, but has started to have some awake (fussy :-) time in the evenings, evidently this is normal. james and i are doing well. i feel better and better everyday, we are even going to try to go to church tonight (our biggest outing so far ;-) We will do our best to keep you updated on Abel. We love him so much and are thankful that the Lord saw it fit to give us such a sweet and beautiful little boy.

Our lives have changed!

Abel Has Come!!!
On Tuesday night Sonya and I had our baby boy. He came to us around 3 weeks early via c-section at 6:55pm after the wise guidance of our doctors. He weighed 7lbs 5oz. We went in for appointment on Tuesday at 10:20 and by about noon they said "head over to the hospital now," so we did. Praise God everything went great and Sonya and the baby are both healthy and adjusting to new life.For all my guy friends, I just want to point out, I hope after the first night with little sleep you look this great and have a little bit of this to show off:
