So, he’s here. John
Paul Francis Wilkerson 10 pounds 10 ounces.
Good baby, eats well, and we are enjoying our hospital vacation
currently.
How much do we love nurses?
Because we make an appearance every year or so, a couple people here
have gotten to know us. One of our favorite nurses actually transferred so she
could be with us our first night. I can’t
tell you how much I appreciate the vocation of nursing. I may/may not have had a bit of a mental
breakdown last night due to no sleep and lots o’ pain. The nurse was so awesome. We figured out a way I could sleep a bit
(with JP in the nursery between feedings) and she regulated my pain meds
differently so it was more consistent.
What a blessing!
Speaking
of blessings, I will never be able to thank everyone properly for the prayer
support we had on Wednesday morning for delivery. As many of you know, I was very VERY nervous
going into the surgery both for myself and for the baby. Everything turned out so well. This was the first surgery I wasn’t sick
through, and I had that special grace of calm I so desperately wanted. When I saw sweet John Paul and knew he was
okay, I felt with certainty the prayers of everyone. So thankful for the body of Christ.
Then there was this...
Oh, and this. I have
never felt so blessed in my life as I did when I had all three of my boys
together in the hospital room. Well, four
including Aaron.
Look closely! Best
pictures ever? Someone knows the way to
this girl’s heart.
And finally, people keep asking if we will have another…as
long as the picture below keeps happening…you know it!

Yay!!!!!!! He is so perfect! Not that the two of you could produce anything else than the handsomest baby boys every but really. He is awesome. So glad you're being treated so well and that everything is so good!

OK, he is sooo cute!! JP is one big baby!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that the c-section went well. The only part that always made me nervous was the spinal. I would just say hail mary after hail mary until the spinal was in and done, then I felt more relaxed.
Enjoy your 4 men!
You birthed one adorable toddler there, mama. Congratulations! He is so gorgeous.
