Blue Light Special...

So, I am sure some of you are wondering why it has taken me so long to post more pics... except for the obvious excuse that I'm getting no sleep and all I do is feed baby right now. Well, we actually had quite a rough first week and ended up back in the hospital for two days with Wyatt due to very high billiruben (jaundice) levels. After two days in the hospital we were able to go home, but had billi-blankets (blankets with lights in them) on him for the rest of the week trying to get his numbers to go down. We learned a lot about Jaundice and that there are several types of Jaundice. The kind he has is called breast milk jaundice where something in my milk is hindering him from being able to process the billiruben in a timely manner. Yes, it was a stressful week, filled with lots of tears, prayers and asking God why this is happening, when he created mommy's to be able to feed their babies in the first place. To make the long story very short, God protected Wyatt, He is bringing the billiruben numbers down (slowly) and I am still able to nurse him, despite the hindrance I am causing for him. God is faithful and we praise Him for working in this situation as we have walked through it.
Here he is at the hospital laying on his "blue" bed. He was such a good boy and really put up with a lot in his first week of life. In case you didn't know, his name means "little warrior" and we know he is already living up to his name!
Eyes open, how sweet!
These were taken in the hospital when he was soaking up the rays from the sun and I think they are so precious. I love daddy's hands wrapped around his sweet body.
Some of you may not have heard the story of finding out we were expecting Wyatt. Ted got down on his knees in early February and asked the Lord to open my womb. Just a few weeks later we discovered we were expecting another baby! I can only think of the verse in 1 Samuel 1:28, "For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him." And we are learning as Hannah in the bible learned that we must give this child (and all of our children) back into the Lord's hands for his care every day of his life. Thank you Jesus for entrusting us with this incredible gift.
He's even got a little smirk... He knows he's a miracle!
