Well, very unexpectedly, our 4th little munchkin joined our family last week – he is officially one week old today. Not lots of time to tell the story right now, of course, and I’m horrible at choosing and eliminating pictures, so I’m just going to post them all from his first week right now, and maybe another day there will be more time for descriptions & better organization(though I doubt it!) The poor little guy has spent his first week of life in the NICU because of a condition he has called congenital chylothorax… As of right now, he does seem to be doing better – or at least not getting worse, so we are VERY thankful! It has definitely been the longest week ever, but we are just so thankful and in love with our new little son! What a special and sweet spirit he has about him. We are truly blessed with our fourth little angel!

Congratulations!!!! We were VERY surprised to hear that Timothy was already here. We were sorry to hear that he has had some problems, I have been getting updates from Grandma every time she hears news. We have been praying for him and all of you and hope that things continue to improve. I wish I was closer and could help out with the other kids. Hang in there and good luck with everything. We can't wait to meet him, he's adorable!!!
Heather, he's a little darling. I've trying to keep tabs through random family members since I heard he was having trouble. I'm sorry you have to go through all the stress and that he has to be in the NICU, but I'm glad he's here!
I am so glad that you put the pictures and video on the blog. He is so cute and I am surprised at how alert he is with everything he has had done and the medicines and things that they have had him on. I can't wait to see and hold him. He is absolutely adorable. Love you guys. Hugs and Kisses.

He is adorable! Congrats and you guys have handled everything so wonderfully! You are in our prayers and thoughts and hope everything continues to go well, what a fighter he is! We love you!
