Alex was born on Sunday February 8th at 5:30 in the morning. He was supposed to wait until the 16th according to the doctor but Alex has a mind of his own. Michael had called us the day before to come up because of a false alarm and we decided to stay the night which turned out to be a blessing. Michael had to take her to the hospital at 2:30 Sunday morning because her labor was becoming more intense. She wanted to deliver normally but around 4:30 both Mike and Kassy had a strong impression to have another c-section. This was a blessing because the cord was around Alex's neck. He only weighed 5 lbs even but he is 19" tall. He is so little but with the way he is eating, I'm sure he is going to be just fine. He doesn't have to much hair, it is very light and short. He has a dimple in his right cheek that we don't get to see much of. At times he looks like Josh but then other times he looks like his daddy. He is a very good baby and now that he is catching on to the nursing thing, he is doing a lot better.
Kassy has been remarkable through this whole thing. She is recovering very well. As she puts it, she has too. She is still getting her blood built up because she lost a lot after the delivery. Michael has a few days off to help her recover. Plus after a two day break at home and also to pick up Grandpa so Josh will have his best buddy with him, we will be spending the weekend with them.
We have truly been blessed this past week. Prayers have been answered and we are very excited to have this next addition to our family. Two more now to go.
