"Jonathan" means "Gift from God".
"Wyatt" means "Brave, Strong; Leader,Guide"

Baby Wyatt has lots of light brown hair and blue eyes.
He arrived 4 weeks early via c-section and is doing wonderfully! He made it out escaping the NICU nursery, something we'd been praying for being a month early. Mommy is recovering well and Jacob is thrilled to be a big brother now that "My baby is out!". Wyatt is eating really well and April's pain has been really minimal this afternoon and evening. She's doing alot better than I expected for a c-section. Hardly been taking her pain meds at all. Wyatt is super quiet, we've heard a small wimper but no crying yet. He's just been sleeping and eating, as you would expect. April and Wyatt are expected to go home by Sunday.

The hospital allowed her to have 1 of her friends, Suzanne Staebler, that works here as a NICU R.N., to be in the Operating Room wtih her, since they wouldn't allow me (Jay) in. General Anesthesia c-sections are treated like any other surgery performed at the hospital so no loved ones allowed in. But she and I didn't completely miss our son's birth. Suzanne was able to take pictures of him in there so we are really grateful for those photos! Thank you, Suzanne for being such a wonderful moral support for her today in there! What a blessing to have had that option and a willing Doctor (Suzette Boyd). The funny thing is that her OB is pregnant too and she and April have the exact same due date! (September 25). Good thing we got to go early so we didn't miss out on her delivering our little man. She's been a great Doctor and support to us this pregnancy.

As far as visitation, since April underwent General Anesthesia (put completely under) for the surgery we are asking for just immediate family today (Wednesday) to give her a chance to rest and recover from that. But starting Thursday till she goes home Sunday, we gladly welcome your calls and visits. (Presbyterian Hosp. of Plano) Thanks for understanding!

We are so blessed by each 1 of you and all that you bring to our family. A BIG, BIG "THank you" to all of you who partnered in prayer with us through this pregnancy, touching the throne of God for the miracles that took place the last 36 weeks. It'd take hours to write it all out but be asssured, Father heard our cry and answered! We love you and there is no way to express our heartfelt thanks for carrying us through this pregnancy the way you did. God was faithful to show up and answer our prayers for the physical changes we petitioned him for!

Much love to all,

Jay, April and Jacob
