Introducing...

Josiah Robert Ivy

Born December 28th, 2012 at 1132 AM

weighing 5lbs 15oz and 18 inches long

He was lovingly placed in our family for adoption December 29th,2012

We are so excited for all of you to meet our new little son Josiah.  He is doing well and was discharged from the hospital yesterday morning.  We had a bit of a scare when he was first born as he had trouble keeping his temp up and needed some IV fluids for some abnormal lab values.  We are thankful to say that he is living up to his name "The Lord Heals" and he was able to have the IV removed after 24 hours and was discharged right on time.  At this time the doctors have no concerns about his health they believe that perhaps he was just a bit dehydrated.  We are praising God for a healthy baby and a great time with both or our son's amazing birth mom.  I will write a more detailed post soon about how the past 3 days have gone but right now our time is limited for blogging but I wanted to make sure to let everyone meet our little man.  I will leave you with a few pictures from the past few days. Thank you for walking this road with us.  We are feeling a bit tired and we all have a bit of a cold but we are ecstatic about our new addition.  

Meeting Daddy for the first time!
