To begin with, my best married friends were 30 weeks pregnant and expecting their first child. Well over the course of seven days, Joshua and I rushed them to the hospital and brought them home, then we rushed to Little Rock because Ju was in pre-term labor. Baby Jeshua wanted to come a little earlier than expected (about 9 weeks earlier, to be exact). So, the doctor told him, "No," and that "He would have to wait." Baby Jeshua simply laughed and in his already rebellious nature, kept on coming. Once the doctor decided there was no coming back and that Jeshua could be born, Mr. Rebellious Pants decided that he was quite happy where he was. So basically we stayed in Little Rock for 36 hours, and baby Jeshua Alexander Micah Nathanael Stewart was born at 6:56 pm on February 6, 2012 via emergency C-Section. He was 4 pounds and 17 1/4" long.
So, to skip through every little mundane detail, here is the newest update. Jeshua is off the ventilator. He is sucking liquids on his own. And he is maintaining a steady weight. He should be coming home in 2-3 weeks! I cannot wait!
Since then, a group of us have over-hauled Josh and Ju's apartment (quite a feat, but we did do it). I am planning a baby shower for once Jeshua gets to come home. My homework has exploded. Tests have officially begun. I am doing more reading for classes now that I ever have before.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
That should do the trick. A little better I guess, but the craziness still persists.
Next on the agenda is the fact that we are moving (AGAIN), for the 4th time in less than a year. I must have lost my mind! But it's ok. We have found a great house to move into in March, and we CAN live there until we graduate in December. I am already dreading the packing and unpacking. I have stopped hanging things up in our apartment since we are only going to be here for another 3 1/2 - 4 weeks.
On the bright side of the whole moving ordeal, we are getting a puppy! After much consideration, we decided on a Border Collie, and the breeder search began. Websites took us from Alabama, to Utah, to Maine, and finally to Texas where we discovered About EWE Border Collies and Claudia Wheeler. Please check out her website, and I eagerly invite you to consider one of her puppies if you are considering owning a Border Collie. Here are some of her beautiful dogs:
I think that is all for now! Hope you all have a lovely week! God bless!
