And here he is!

Lincoln Cruz Bostock

We officially have a new member of the family... Cruz Bostock! I have to admit I was getting a little impatient because Joni ended up having Carter a whole month early, but he came! Cruz came into this world on his due date, September 17th, 2008. He weighed 7lbs 15 oz, and was 2o inches long. He came out a bright eyed child, and completly perfect! While we were in the Hospital he did have low blood sugar, and ended up needing to be on oxygen, but to us he was as perfect as they come. He ended up have to spend 2 days in the NICU, but we were all able to come home together on the 19th of September. We did get to bring home oxygen, and billi lights to help with Jaundice as well, but we were absolutly thrilled that we got to bring him home. We didn't have to keep him on the lights for to long(it seemed like forever) but on Sept 23rd we got to get ride of the lights, and then we officially got to get rid of the oxygen on the 26th of Sept. It was pretty exciting to have a normal baby after that! While he was on the lights we couldn't hold him unless he was feeding, so the only time Drew got to hold him was to burp him after he fed, so we were thrilled to get rid of the lights! Cruz has been such a great baby!! We got a little excited after we got rid of the lights, and now he can't seem to fall asleep with out being in our arms...oops we just like him a little too much! We sure are thankful to our family and friends that have been helping us out so much this last while. It's amazing how everything seems to work out just fine when you have the help of family and friends, and the amazing power of prayer. Thanks everyone for all the love and support, and for the prayers! We love you all
