Baby Jaxon!

Kristen and Andrew welcomed their first baby, baby Jaxon, into their family on Monday, September 26th. He came out half grown...11 pounds, 2 ounces! Such a big baby! Unfortunately after having a couple hours in the morning together, they discovered Jaxon had hypoglycemia and needed to be in the NICU for a time. His blood sugar was low and his half of his heart was pumping more blood to the body than the other half. However, it was a condition that the doctor's seemed positive about and said if he were going to have a heart defect, this was a good one to have because it would work itself out soon.

Well, today (Wednesday), Jaxon got released from the NICU and gets to be with Kristen and Andrew! They have seen many miracles throughout the last few days. We are just so happy and excited that he is doing well and that Kristen is on her way to recovery.

I am so sad I can't be there in California. It's been hard being away from my wonderful sister. I dreamt last night that I was hugging her in the hospital and got to meet Jaxon...at least a little bit of happiness through a dream :). We are SO happy for them and are grateful that Heavenly Father has blessed them with this chubby, darling baby boy and that He has helped them through these days.

Now for what everyone wants to see....Pictures!







This one's my favorite! I love those chubby cheeks!


We can't wait to meet Jaxon!
