Here are a few pictures of our sweet angel!










First of all, I apologize to all of you now for not getting this out sooner. Also, I am sorry if you have called us or written us and we have not called back. If you can imagine... things have been a little crazy around here. We truly appreciate all the prayers, calls, emails, dinners, gifts, visits, etc. Also, if you have called my cell phone... it broke on Tuesday, while we were in the hospital. Matthew had to run out and get me a new phone while I was there and they weren't able to transfer my new numbers over.


As for the news everyone wants to know about.... David Matthew Coblentz, Jr. (David) has arrived. He was a little stubborn as for coming into this world. Labor wasn't bad... only 9 hours. Sweet David came into this world at 3:45 p.m., June 16, 2008. He weighed 6 lbs. and 6 oz. and was 19 1/4 inches long and just as cute as ever. When he was born, they had to take him to the NICU and there he stayed until Wednesday night. During the delivery, he swallowed some fluid and his breathing was off. Alot of his levels were high too, so they hooked him up to a breathing mask, etc. I didn't get to see him until late Monday night and when I did, I was pretty loaded up on pain medicene. The sweet angel was lying in his incubator, looking as beautiful as ever. Over the next few days, Matthew and I were able to go see him, but I was the only one allowed to hold him. Finally, on Wednesday, they let him stay in the hospital room with Matthew and me... of course, we had a NICU nurse coming in to see him and run tests every hour, but we managed. (I must admit, it was a little scary.)

Thursday, we had to wait for his cultures to come back and when they did, they were negative. David Coblentz came home with mom and dad Thursday night (last night) at 7 p.m. Everyone is doing great... of course, Matthew and I are adjusting, but things are going good. I have never been so in love!

SO happy for the Coblentz family! I am also so glad that I got to be a small part of it all... being with your family in the waiting room, hearing updates through Meredith, seeing you at the NICU and seeing little David every time I visited my babies. When you are feeling up for some company I really want to come and see yall. We will wait a couple of weeks though so you can appreciate some down time at home with your new angel :) Take care!

I am so sorry you had to go through NICU!!! We did that with our 1st baby and it can be so scary! Sounds like little David conquered it quickly though, and I know you are so grateful!!! If you need anything let me know! Boys are best! :)
