WELL, TODAY I WAS ABLE TO GIVE SHAWN AN EVEN BETTER PRESENT THAN THE ONE THAT WE GAVE HIM (A FISHING POLE AND TACKLE BOX) LAST NIGHT. LEVI CHRISTIAN BATES WAS BORN AT 7:54 THIS MORNING. HE WEIGHED 8LBS. 2 OZS. AND WAS 21 1/2 INCHES LONG. HE IS CURRENTLY IN THE NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT BEING MONITORED, BUT WE ARE HOPING THAT HE WILL BE RELEASED TO US SOMETIME LATE THIS EVENING. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HIM AS TOMORROW HE IS GOING TO BE UNDERGOING A SPINAL COLUMN ULTRASOUND TO BE SURE THAT THE DIMPLE THAT IS IN HIS BACK IS NOT A DEFECT IN HIS SPINAL CORD. OTHER THAN THAT, HE IS NURSING WELL, HE IS A VERY HAPPY BABY, AND HIS MOMMA IS FEELING PRETTY GOOD - JUST VERY TIRED! AYDEN IS HANGING IN THERE...TODAY WAS A HARD DAY FOR HIM. HE WAS ABSOLUTELY EMPHATUATED WITH LEVI WHEN HE SAW HIM, BUT HE ISN'T FEELING WELL AND HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO SEE HIM SINCE HE WAS FIRST BORN B/C OF LEVI BEING IN THE NICU. SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE SOME BROTHERLY BONDING, IF NOT TOMORROW, THEN WHEN WE GET HOME ON TUESDAY. PLEASE CONTINUE TO KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS. ENJOY THE PICTURES! WE LOVE YOU ALL AND WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.
LOVE, SHAWN, KRISTY, AYDEN, AND LEVI
