Sleep is overrated

Lots has happened since the little guy arrived but we've been just a little busy (ha). For starters, he has a name - Josiah Jason R. We're not sure if he likes it yet but he doesn't get a vote! Here's a family photo:
Great news from the NICU - all of his cultures have come back negative (meaning no infection), so they have taken him off antibiotics and have removed his IV. One less cord to worry about! He is eating well (through a tube in his nose to his stomach) and digesting almost all of what he eats. He had his 1st bowell movement (sorry if this is too much detail for some of you, but this is a big deal according to the nurses!) early this morning.


He is getting cuter by the minute. Yesterday we got to hold him a lot more than the day before which was so great. He was awake & alert quite a bit which was also fun. His eyes are currently blue but based on the color of our eyes, we're guessing that will change!

We will try to update with more pics soon! We really appreciate everyone's prayers and are very thankful for the all love & support we have felt over the past couple of days!
