There’s no place like home

Melly and the bub have been home a few days now. We left St Vincents on Thursday of last week. It’s been fantastic not having interruptions from nurses and cleaning staff, for what seemed to be, at five minute invtervals. The first few nights home were a bit of a struggle, getting Josiah to settle down for a sleep has been difficult at times, but we’ve been doing pretty good the past few days due to the support of our family. Settling into a routine will help things along, but that will take time and at the moment we’re just rolling with each situation as it arises. I’m so thankful to have Melly, we make a fantastic team!

Thank you to everyone who has lent us a hand over the past few weeks, thank you also for your lovely gifts and flowers. Bless you all.

Praise God!

It’s amazing seeing the hand of God guiding our decisions through the pregnancy and birth of Josiah! The very day after the delivery Mellissa developed a condition called pre-eclampsia (Hypertension with protein in the urine). This can be life threatening, and the OB told us that if we had waited only 1 more day to have the delivery that Melly would have been in intensive care.

Additionally, upon delivery the OB discovered that Josiah was in a posterior position (his face was facing upwards, instead of down), and this would have meant it would have been difficult a very long and painful delivery if we had have chosen to try a vaginal birth.

It’s so reassuring to see God’s guidance throughout the decisions we have made. All I can say is PRAISE GOD!

A man after my own heart

My son Josiah already has his own webpage, courtesy of Grandpa, with photos and all!

Cruise over to Josiah’s Google Page to take a peek! All the photos can be clicked on to get a closer view.

I’ve also created a YouTube account so that I can post videos of him in action, but I’m gonna need to be at home to upload it. So stay tuned!

It’s a boy!
