Welcome Riley David Jones!!!!!

Well friends, he is here! As a shock to me my water broke at 1:20am Sunday morning and a short 8 hours later our little guy entered the world at a whopping 4 pounds 11 ounces. There were some problems with the labor and the cord being wrapped around his neck twice so they had to get him out quickly. Praise the Lord for a great labor and delivery team. I am doing well and feeling better daily. Riley is still in the NICU. He needs to gain some weight. Right now he is only taking .5 ounces at a time and he needs to get to at least 2 ounces at each feeding before he can come home with us. So please pray that his appetite increases and we can bring him home this weekend. This is our little guy right after he was born. The proud papa The Newest Jones Family Picture Isn't he the cutest thing ever!

Sharon and Griffin, I am so thrilled for you!! I'm praying for your cute little guy, that he will gain the weight, strength, and appetite he needs to come home soon! And I'm praying for you too, as I'm sure it's hard to have to leave Riley there. Much love to you!!

Congratulations Sharon! He is precious. I will be praying for Riley being able to eat enough to go home, for you as you recover and to keep rested, and for your family as you adjust to life with a sweet little bundle. Congrats again!
