Don't get me wrong, I am praising God that he came out just fine and healthy. It's just tough knowing the little guy is there and not being able to do anything. What a rude welcome into the world! I'm not a fan of hospitals and "official protocol" of any sort, so this is especially challenging for me. Not to mention, I didn't give birth to him myself, and he's not officially ours...yet. So, I'm not as comfortable dealing with things as I would be under normal circumstances. How is it that he's our baby, but we can't do anything? It's very frustrating.
On the other hand, he is so darned cute! Unfortunately pictures will have to wait until I am home. I have my laptop at the hospital with Internet access through their WI-FI connection, but I have no way to upload my pictures on this computer. It looks like we will not come home before tomorrow, Thursday, so you'll just have to wait until we get settled to see his cute, little face.
Please send up a few prayers for me that I will have patience and make the right decisions in regard to his care, and pray for Amie that she will make it through this process a stronger and wiser person. Thanks, everyone.

Update: I held him and got him to eat about 1/3 of an ounce. So, we're making progress. However, it is uncertain as to whether or not he will be able to come home tomorrow. We are praying!
Oh YEAH Feeding! Congrats to you. Praying for you all to go home together!
Well, Kathy, we are still here! This will be mine and Amie's last overnight in her room. No matter what she goes home tomorrow. Avery on the other hand could possibly leave tomorrow, but he may have to wait until Friday. If that is the case I will be spending the night in the waiting room...praying he comes home tomorrow!
