He has Arrived!


Baby Easton was born Monday, Nov. 3rd! He weighed 8lb
and 2oz and was 20 in. long. I had an induction scheduled
for 7:00 a.m. on Monday, but he decided he wanted to
come on his own--I went into labor at 3:30 Monday morning!

We are both doing great. However, Easton did have to be admitted to the NICU for a couple days but was released Thursday. Our blood types are incompatible and he was diagnosed with being Coombs Positive. Basically, my blood recognized his as being foreign and began attacking his red blood cells. His liver couldn't process my antibodies causing his belirubin count to sky rocket (which leads to brain damage and death). Thankfully, the treatments worked quickly and he is healthy little boy! We are very grateful for prayer and modern medicine that saved his life.


Enoch is in love with his new little brother! Watching him interact
with Easton has been so fun!
