We have decided to take back up the blogging (: With Sawyer's arrival, we want to keep in touch with everyone and this seems like the best way to do it. Please check back often to see updates as we post them.
Sawyer Douglas
born: 11.08.12
6lbs. 8oz, 19"
Saw Man came to us 3 weeks early and surprised everyone. He had a little rough start: didn't want to latch and feed and had a high bilirubin. He had to immediately switch to expressed breast milk to be bottle fed with formula supplements in order to get his weight up and help flush the bili out. He had to be strapped up to a wallaby bili light and visit the pediatrician's office daily for about 5 days (getting stuck in the heel each day) He didn't really drop his bili for about 2 months! After he started eating like a mad man he started putting on the weight and is doing well now.
This has been the biggest change in Brian and my life, but it has been the most special, loving, wonderful change. God has blessed us with more joy than we can express. I could stare at Sawyer all day and never lose the awe I feel. God's most wonderful miracle is your own child.
We hope to keep everyone updated along our life's journey.
