WOW!!

We've been absolutely overwhelmed during this whole pregnancy and Down's Syndrome scare with the love and prayers of our friends and family. We know that literally hundreds of people all over the world have been praying for Isaac and for us. God answers prayers. Isaac is perfect and beautiful. Thank you so much.

Matt's parents flew in yesterday to help out for the next two weeks. We're still here in Guatemala City, but we'll be breaking out of the hospital tomorrow and heading for home. It's still a little surreal, but we're sure those first few hundred sleepless nights will help pound the reality home that we're parents now.

Isaac is not the fastest learner so far. Breast feeding, his one job at this point, is coming a bit slow, but (believe it or not), we've sought a lot of advice and everyone tells us not to worry - he'll pick it up just fine. Heidi has been amazingly patient and persistant. Hope we're not entering into our first battle of wills!!!!

Anyway, sorry we don't have more pictures to post right now, but we'll be flooding the internet with them when we get back home. We're using hotel lobby computers right now and don't have an easy way to post pics. The other ones were posted using an extremely moody wireless connection at a McDonald's. This part of Guatemala City is quite modern, but there are still a few places where they lag behind the US and free wireless is one of those places!!

We'll, we should have some more visitors today. We're expecting Aaron Ficker to come by, Russell, Bethany and Tye will try, and possibly our Guatemalan friend, Dr. Edgar and his family.

Okay, only one minute left on my connection here... gotta run!!!!

WOW! So much going on. Your blog even "sounded" excited!

Again, so grateful that all went well. Enjoy your time with Grandma & Grandpa Bell. Tell your Mom that Isaac's healthy birth announcement is posted on the board at Curves:)

Can't wait to view the continuous photo display. Best wishes to all.
