Well, we finally made it home last night! After an extremely hard labor, we got the best blessing anyone could have. We are so happy to finally meet our son. We did find out today, though, that his left clavicle was fractured, and his bilirubin is higher. (he's jaundice) So, he's using a bili light and wearing a clavicle brace. He's also got a lot of mucus in his nose. We were told it would be best to keep him home through the holidays, especially since we had so many visitors at the hospital. I know that is disappointing to everyone, but I know you all will understand.....I hope Joey's family does, too. He's our precious little boy and I just thank God every time I look at him. Even though labor was tough, I would do it again in a heartbeat. He's everything and more than I could've ever imagined. Thanks for all the prayers......Kannon is so worth every word spent asking God to bring him to us. Joey is such a wonderful Daddy, and he is helping me so much more than I could ever have expected. He's jumped right in and just does it all. We have never been happier.....Anyways, here are some pics. And don't forget to look on the St. Mary's website in a couple days for his hospital pics. I can e-mail the password or you can get it from Mom. Love you all!

He is sooo cute! A little Joey.
You can't really tell that his poor little head was suctioned. He looks so good. :-)
He is so adorable and so precious! What a wonderful Christmas present for all of us! I am so thankful for all of God's blessings. I hate that his clavicle is fractured. I heard Joey sister say that we shouldn't worry if that happens because it will be ok. I understand that you need to keep him home. You need to take care of your little bundle of joy. We will miss you all on Christmas!!
I love you!
His head does look really good now. It looked bad in the back of his head. (he was sort-of turned in the womb) Anyway, I wish we could get him out to show him off, but we just think it's best to keep him in for the time-being. But, that doesn't mean you can't come over to visit us.....we would love to have visitors. It's just easier to keep him home for now until we get this light and brace off of him.
I don't blame you at all. I hope you get good news tomorrow, and maybe you won't need the light anymore.
We did get good news. His bili came down from 13.9 to 8.6. We got to take his light off. His brace has to stay on at least a week, though. Maybe if he was a little older, we would go ahead and get him out. He's just had such a rough first week, we thought it would be best to keep him here. The hardest part is going to be getting him used to sleeping by himself. We've had to supervise him 24/7 because of the light. He loves to be held already.
