And then there were 4!!!

Welcome to the world little man!!!
Joshua James Evans
Born: 6/19/08
10:45am
5 lbs 15 oz


Kaylie bought baby brother a toy rattle...she likes to tickle his feet, and give him oh so many kisses, all the time!!!


Our new little family!!!





So this is him! The long awaited arrival is finally here! We are just so grateful for him, and just feel like he is our little miracle baby! He survived my surgery at 5 1/2 wks preg., having a 2 (instead of 3) vessel umbilical cord, a possible marginally placed cord insertion into the placenta, a possible velementous cord insertion into the placenta (both possible problems with the placenta ended up being non-problems), and being born 2 weeks early, (although the dr's were saying he looked more like a 37 week old, instead of a 38 week old...)

Yeah, after all those possible problems, he is completely fine and healthy! That's actually why we chose the name that we did...(that, and it won the vote, ha!) No really, because Joshua means "God rescues." Can you think of a name any more fitting for this little guy!?!

Oh, he is so tiny, and we love him so much. We still get pretty emotional when we stop and realize that he's here, and he's okay. We are so thankful for our blessings, and we aren't taking Kaylie for granted either, she is such a sweet big sister, and she is already being so helpful! And I'll have to do another post about how much they look alike...it's crazy, Josh is a spitting image of Kaylie when she was born! It's so fun!

Wow, congratulations! He's tiny, and SO cute. For your sake I'm glad he came two weeks early... that last month is killer. I can't wait to meet him!

Congrats on your little boy! He is darling and I'm so happy that he is healthy and strong!

YAY!! Congrats! I love babies! He's SO cute and SO little! I'm so glad everything is okay! It's so stressful thinking that something might be wrong! I wish there was a girls name that meant "God rescues" and we would've named Amelia that!

Congrats again!

Tiff- He is perfect in every way!! I am so excited for you guys to finally have this little guy home and be able to kiss on him. He is so tiny, yet so stinkin cute. He is going to be a little heart breaker! I can't wait to meet him, and Kaylie for that matter. Next time I am up in Utah we are for sure going to lunch! Congratulations, you have a darling family.

I am so glad that he is here safe, I have been checking your blog and awaiting to hear about him. Joshua James is a good solid name, that is my brother-in-law's name and he is a good guy. I hope that you quickly adjust to having two sweet little spirits in your home. Look forward to hearing more!

He is absolutely perfect! He is small, but not as small as Josie!!! I would let you use my preemie clothes, but they're all pink! We love you and miss you! We'll have to come visit one day when you want visitors! Call me if I can help with anything, okay? Oh, I have a gift for you, so I'll have to come soon.

Holly and Rhett said...

Congrats! I am so behind here. I am so glad that he is healthy and everything is going well...these kiddos go through so much to get here. I need to come by soon so I can get you the shampoo back, which I have loved by the way! Congrats again, I hope everything is going well and you are resting up! Let us know if you need anything! Let's hope you don't have a Lucy on your hands!
