 Nixon Sound asleep.

 Precious!

Look how little this guy is!

Today has been the most amazing day of our lives and also one of the longest!  We are currently still at the hospital with our new addition to the family.  Melissa has been working on breast feeding Nixon all day.  She realized that is wasn't as easy of a task as she had thought.  She is getting better at it though.  We know it is working because Nixon has unloaded on 2 diapers already and peed all over Melissa.  We still haven't gotten much sleep, but the adrenaline of the whole experience is keeping us going.  We had some visitors today which was nice and we were able to share our bundle of joy.  Melissa is a great mom and is very good at letting people hold her baby.  We will be staying in the hospital tonight and then heading home sometime tomorrow morning.  We talked to our pediatrician, and Nixon will be getting circumcised on Monday morning.  I already feel bad for the little guy.  Anyways, thanks again for all the prayers.  We felt them all day.  Keep checking back for updates!

  3. What a beautiful family. You guys will do a great job. Breast feeding can be a challenge. Don't be afraid to get help from a specialist it really helped me. We love you and will pray for you. Good luck with the sleep :-)
    Love ya mean it!
