Wonderful Day!!




Just an update....Its about 11 pm Saturday night and it was a great day today (besides the storms & Tornado warnings, though we are thankful for the rain here in Illinois) I am feeling great, the infection is almost gone, and my nose just needs to heal from the medicine they gave me (causing me to itch like crazy,so now my nose is a lovely sight). I'm still sore but that heals with time and I'm seriously 10 X's better than the last 2 previous C-sections so I praise the Lord for that.

Jaden is doing fine. He didn't have a dirty diaper until today (sorry for the graphics) and he wasn't eating too well, but tonight he's had a dirty diaper and started eating very well, so we are thankful for that. His breathing perfectly normal also; the fluid is out of his lungs. They are going to check for jaundice tonight/tomorrow so hopefully that will be okay so we can go home tomorrow night. He still needs to get his little surgery done too, so we won't know anything about that until tomorrow a.m. (poor guy).

A little history of his name.....Jaden means 'God has heard" and is Hebrew. We found his varient name in Nehmaih 3:7, where it's spelled Jadon. His middle name is after my dad's first name - Duane. Actually all our sons middle names are family names. All of our boys initials are the same-- Jason's initials J.D.B. -- so we of course kept the trend going.

We thank you for your prayers. We are so truly happy and blessed. God is so good and gracious. Enjoy the picture of him. The Boe's were here for the day today and got many good ones for us, like always!! My mom has been keeping the boys for us. She came up for about 2 hours with them today. Just give Jared a cup full of ice chips and give Jordan Jaden to hold and they are happy campers!! I've gotten many notes that Jaden looks alot like me--hee, hee, poor guy :) so we'll see in the next few weeks, they change so fast---he's for sure "our son" though, looks exactly like the other 2 boys when they were born, amazing!! Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend everyone and I'll update again with more pictures after the holiday.
