Update from home 2

Hello all, dad here. Sorry we haven't been able to keep you all up to date on how things are here at home. As you all know bring a baby home is not the easiest thing in the world. But things are going ok. Last night was the best night so far sleep whys that is. Misty step mom flew out on Tuesday to help us. Edward is now 7lb. 5oz. he is really starting to look like a newborn. Today he had his follow up eye exam. So far everything looks pretty good but they still want to keep checking them at least until Edward is at least 50 weeks or 10 weeks corrected.

We are going to start doing our best to blog every few days rather then every night so that we can give our main attention to Edward. But will will still continue to update everyone as we get more news. Picture taking has taken a lower priority in the past days but I think we still have a few new one for all of you tonight. Please continue to keep Edward in your thoughts and prays as he still has some issues to over come. Also that we would be able to get enough rest to stay alive.

David.

  2. Wow 7lbs 5oz, that's great! He sure does look like a full term newborn in that last pic!Things will 'eventually' get easier at home. It seems like an eternity now, but before you know it, you'll be yelling at him to stop running in the house. Praying you can get a little sleep tonight :)

  3. Dear David and Misty,
    We are praying for you continually. God's mercies and compassions are new every morning. His faithfulness and strength will see you through one day at a time. Lamentations 3:22-27 is a great passage to think about. It goes like this--"It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is they faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul, therefore will I hope in him. The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord." We love you. Mom and Dad
