We have a new baby! His little face just melts each of our hearts to pieces. Many have asked, "How are the older kids adjusting?" The answer is that they are crazy about him! The biggest issue we have is that there is such a thing as too much kissing on Baby! :)

Week One, we even got plenty of rest as "new" parents. However, last night was our first tough night. Rocco seemed more restless, and stayed awake longer between feedings. *yawn* I feel partially responsible, because my diet was terrible yesterday. How easily I forget that my choices affect him. :O

Delivery was a remarkable experience! So many people are so fearful of the risks associated with multiple C-sections, but God was in control. The baby is healthy & my doctor said that everything "in there" looked GREAT! There was minimal scar tissue, etc. The recovery was fantastic too. The 2nd day, I took a shower, put on some make-up, got dressed, and was walking around. I felt fine... or at least better than I did after C-section #1. :) We are on cloud 9, even amidst the sleep deprivation & uncertainties about what the rest of the year holds. This child is sheer blessing.

By the way, Jorge's interview went really well. Thank you for the prayers. We thought it was almost over, but the school called him on Friday and said, "Ok, we've narrowed it down to 2 people. Can you come back for a last interview on Sept. 15?" I'm glad they are taking this process seriously and pray that the right candidate gets the job. :-) Keep the prayers coming!
