Thanks to everyone for all your prayers. Gideon and Katie have both been doing excellent!

We were able to start seeing friends and family last night starting at about 8:00 pm. It was great to see the grandmas and grandpas, and great-grandmas and great-grandpas, sisters, brothers, etc. Because it was so late, I was able to talk to our kids on the phone and let them know their baby brothers name and that he was here, but they had to go to bed and couldn’t come down right away.

Since Gideon was such a large baby, they had some special tests they had to do about every hour throughout the night to make sure he was just big, not ‘big’ because of a problem. He passed them all with flying colors! We didn’t get to sleep until about midnight, and then we were up a lot during the night. But I think adrenaline is good!

Hannah, Gabe and Abigail were able to come and hang out with us for about an hour this morning, and get to meet their little brother. They are so excited for him to be home and to examine him closer.

We spent most of today seeing more friends and family, and trying to rest in between the nurse visits. Mama and baby both took a little nap together, it was very cute!

The best way to take a nap!

We’ve been able to see both the NFC and AFC championship games today while lying in our room - that was fun! We are hanging out until a little after 8:00 pm tonight when they can run their last test on Gideon. Then we get to go home and sleep in our own beds. Thank you again to everyone who prayed for Katie and Gideon during the delivery! God was very good to us!

We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
