Two feet and ten toes... What else could we ask for? Jonah weighed in at 6 lbs 12 oz and 19 inches long. He is absolutely beautiful. Jonah cried a few salutation to his parents before he was passed through a window into the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. He was breathing on his own with a little assistance of some blow-by oxygen. He has been stable most of the day highlighted by some flexing of his powerful muscles! Not really, but he has been a little more active than his older brothers. Late tonight he did pass through a rough spell during a small seizure. The worst part of our day was that RSV season has started and none of his siblings were able to visit him in the NICU. Bummer... It's all good. Rob recorded some sweet moments on video and all of the kids passed his phone around and smiled as they watched Jonah stretch and tell the nurses to leave him alone. He was given a blessing in which we found out that he is excited to receive his body. He has a strong will to live and to meet his siblings.
Behka of course is doing great. She looks wonderful and there were not any complications with the delivery. She is so happy to have a baby. We feel peaceful. We want to thank our grandparents for bringing our children up to the hospital. Thank you everyone for your love and well wishes. It's late... we'll update you'al tomorrow. Good night.

Congratulations Behka and Rob, he is beautiful! Tad and I chose President Monsons talk "Charity never Faileth" to read Monday night and I couldn't stop thinking of your boys. I know they didn't "mind starting their lives in an old pail" because they truly are the "beautiful ones"!!
ReplyDeleteWe love you guys, thanks for sharing your special time with us.
Love Tonja and Tad
Behka-I was so grateful to be able to see pictures! He is a beautiful son! You have always been someone that I have looked up to and I thank you for your courage and wisdom. I am in awe of your decision to be a mom to 8! WoW! You look beautiful too!
