Mt. Diablo

Today we road up to Mt. Diablo. The sun was setting and it was absolutely beautiful!! Jonas slept and didn't seem too interested in the scenery...lol. His Nanny however was in awe of God's creation.

Jonas's First Week

Well it's been awhile since I've updated everyone. Let's see where do I begin.....I think I will begin with thanking God for allowing David aka Poppy to be able to drive from San Anna, Ca to see Jonas. It was not planned but the Lord worked his schedule so he was able to come for one night and go back to work. It was such a wonderful surprise, God is soo good!! Now for the update on Jonas:) He has gained 3 ounces over the past two days and he is coming home in the morning! Yay! Today Bethany and Nathan was able to give him a bath, that was exciting. He is such a lil sweetie pie, I just can't wait to have him here at the house with us! His mommy and daddy are doing good, ready for him to be home. For all my family and friends in Florida....I MISS YA'LL! It's hard being away for so long but at the same time I'm very thankful that I have been able to stay here during this time. I miss my other grandbaby, Logan, he has started talking since I've been here, he says "see that" when he wants you to look at something. I can't wait to hug him and give him smooches! Thank all of you for the continued prayers that have went up on our behalf.

Update on Jonas

PRAISE GOD!! Tonight Jonas drank from his bottle! Bethany pumped 10ml and he drank that plus 10ml of formula. The nurses said that he is doing awesome and they don't expect him to have to stay more than a week. His feeding tube should come out in the morning. Once again, God has answered prayer and we are so thankful!

At 4:15 p.m on Monday November 3, Jonas Lee Goddard made his entrance into the world. Being born at 34.5 weeks he weighed 5lbs 9oz and was 19" long. God has heard and answered many prayers, he is doing great! He will be in the NICU for a few days because he doesn't have the eating technique down yet. His lungs are doing great, he is keeping his temperature, and his oxygen levels are good. Bethany did an awesome job, I am so proud of her! Nathan is the typical proud daddy, showing off his skills to everyone...lol. I can not express how thankful I am for all of you that have prayed and kept our family uplifted and encouraged through this time. God truely is a God of miracles.

Hospital News

Well at about 8:10 last night ( Cali time) Bethany told me her water had broke. After she took a quick shower and Nathan and I threw a bag together we made it to the hospital. She was still only dilated to 1 so they started monitoring her. At 5 this morning they checked her again and she was at 2. They started her on Pitosium (not sure sp) and she progressed to 3. At around 9 she had her epideral and has been dozing on and off since. I will update when Jonas is here!! Thank everyone for your prayers!!
