Hey guys--Kara here. This week has been a whirlwind and I have loved every minute of it--well there were a few parts during labor I did not LOVE but hey it was worth it.
We are home from the hospital and trying to get in the groove of things. Isaiah's first night was a little rough because he was having some tummy issues but I think we are on the right track now. Thank you Jesus for Milicon drops :)
I don't have a lot of time to write a long post but I wanted to ask all of my blog friends to be praying. Isaiah has a little bit of jaundice and we have been getting his blood tested every day since he was born and it has continued to climb. It is nothing at all that is not fixable but I am believing God to heal him so that we will not have to worry about doing anything with it. I know this is a completely normal thing for babies but just wanted to ask for some prayer. We go back tomorrow morning at 10 for another blood test to see if they levels have gone down. If they are still elevated we may have to have some light therapy done here in the house. Basically some lights that he will need to lay under--kinda like a little tanning bed :) Any who...would you please be praying that:
a) tonight he is able to eat regularly
b) he is able to poop (this is how their bodies get rid of the jaundice)
c) because of these things his levels will be low tomorrow
That is all for now. I will be back soon and write about the birth story and just my wonderful son in general! As I stated in the subject I am in LOVE with my son--and even more in love with my husband.
Some more pics of Isaiah:

The first picture of Isaiah is absolutely precious!! He is so adorable. I know he will get over his jaundice soon.

Kara & Gabe, I am so happy "our" baby is here! I say "our" baby because he is know part of an extremely loving family who will adore, love & spoil him rotten. Some of us may not see each other every day, but we are together in spirit and I thank the Lord every day to be part of a family that loves every individual for who they are what role they play in this crazy bunch. I am also so happy to see sweet Adrian perched up there and looking proud next to her little brother. I love all of you immensely!! Aunt Amy (MiMi)
