A new member of our family arrived this week. He was about 10 weeks early but we are thrilled that he is here. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law welcomed their baby boy on Tuesday night. Baby Brock was born at 9:58 pm much to the surprise of everyone. He came out crying with his arms and legs moving all around. He weighed 3 lbs 1 oz and was 16 inches long. Because he was so early he was transported to another, bigger hospital with a NICU.
Before they transported Baby Brock, we were all able to see him for a few minutes. I know that I am a bit partial but he seriously was the cutest little peanut. I started crying when I saw him because I was just amazed that he was here and amazed at how sweet and adorable he looked.
Baby Brock has been doing just WONDERFUL. The doctors are all very pleased with how well he is doing. He is get stronger and stronger every day. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were told that the doctors do not believe there will be any long terms effects on Brock because he was so early. They also believe that he will be able to come home sooner than the "normal" stay for premies. Did I say how sweet and cute he is?!
So, as you can imagine, Aunt Stacey has been doing a little shopping here and there (I am not allowed back into Babies R Us for a while!). Both Uncle Dustin and I hope to go and see our new nephew this weekend and I will be sure to blog about our visit.
Please pray with us that Brock will continue to do as good as he has been doing. That my sister-in-law will heal and that both she and my brother-in-law will be able to rest and feel refreshed and strengthened to go and take care of their baby.
Thank you all in advance for your prayers. I will be sure to keep you all posted about our precious new addition to the family.
