Yayyyyy Baby Aiden is here!

We have been waiting what seems like a life time. OK maybe only a little over 9 months, but still we have been so anxious. I can't believe it took me so long to post but I was in GF I thought we would have access to a computer but with the one there you had to set up a whole new blog. I couldn't concentrate long enough to even think about it. Aiden showed up on Saturday December 23, 2006 5lbs 4ozs. 181/2 inches long and cute little curls of strawberry blonde hair. He is the most beautiful little boy I have ever seen. He had a few problems and gave us a few reasons to pray. But no one can tell the story better then his dad so check out his web page at healinghands@blogspot.com. He has some tubes coming out of various parts of his body and we are holding off on posting pictures until they remove them. I have see his beautiful little face with out all the stuff that helps him breath, and eat and he just shines. April and Kevin have not been able to hold him much (maybe for 2 seconds)but he is getting better and hopefully we will all get to have our turn, but until then mommy and daddy get the sole privilege of holding him. But that just isn't very often If he gets to stimulated then his breathing is affected and his oxygen levels go down. Some days he does well and they remove the c-pap machine (the same type of machine that is used for sleep apnea only about 10 times smaller to fit over his cute little nose)it makes sure that he gets enough oxygen and then when the nurses have to take blood or some thing that gets him excited and the next thing you know they're putting it back on. April was able to check out yesterday but Aiden will have to stay until he is a little stronger. Which we are praying that it won't take too long.
