Days flying by...

... as with any new child, the days are flying by! Myles has proven to be a very sweet baby... quiet, pleasant, sleeps well, eats well... much unlike Wyatt. We had been preparing our minds for a baby like Wyatt, so this has been a nice surprise! :) The boys love holding Myles, especially Henry. He is very gentle and just beams when he holds him. For those of you who don't know, we did find out that Myles has no heart defects. I think the number is about 40-60% of kids with Downs have a heart defect that can require some type of surgery in the first year. So we were so thankful to our Father that He chose to spare Myles from this. He is also eating great and pooping great... which can be another hurdle, so again we are continually thankful for these blessings now as we prepare for hurdles to come.


The boys decided to wash their cars while Jonathan washed his car. A week before the baby was born, we sold Jonathan's 1999 Mazda that had 180k miles on it. We bought another car on eBay (our 3rd car purchase on eBay!) from a dealer in Cleveland. We were going to fly Jonathan one-way to get it last Tuesday night. He would have had to spend the night and then drive back in the morning. But we kept thinking... what if I go into labor that night? It would be 10 days early, but we knew it was a possibility so we opted to pay my parents to pick it up for us. As it was, my water broke in the middle of the night on Tuesday!! We are so thankful that Jonathan was here!!! That would have made for a crazy story...
