Jen and Udi are proud
parents of their fourth baby and second son!!!
Baby Lloyd arrived safely
on April 5th at around 8:30 pm!!!
He weighed 6.6 lbs. and is
quite a tiny little man but very strong and very alert. He arrived 15 days
early but we praise the Lord that he is healthy and doing well.
Lloyd is the only one of
our four grandchildren to be born in a hospital but it was God’s leading as
Jen’s blood pressure shot up during the delivery and she had to be given
anti-convulsent meds intravenously. Baby Lloyd was in distress and inhaled
meconium during the delivery so both he had his Mummy are on antibiotics.
Udi, Jen and bubs arrived
here Monday the 8th, and the family stayed here until this last Tuesday and then went home
for a short time to Cauyunan. Jen and the children will be coming back on the
first of next month to stay with us for a further 2 weeks. Jen’s blood pressure is still high and she is still on the meds that she was discharged with
from the hospital.
While we were waiting for
baby Lloyd’s arrival, the other three grandchildren were staying with us and the
youngest - 22 month old Jhamaica - was busy clowning it up around here. She is
just a doll and is constantly inventing funny things to say and to do!
The arrival of her Mummy, Daddy and little brother however rocked baby Jhamaica’s
little world for awhile. Her first reaction was excitement and joy at seeing
her Mummy and Daddy but as the evening went on she was just devastated to see
her Mummy holding another baby and she cried like she was broken-hearted. There
were a lot of tears during the first 24 hours or so.
But being the joyful little
person that she is, she bounced back pretty quickly, is getting pretty
proud of herself for being a ‘big sister’ now and likes giving her baby brother cuddles!
So this is our big, BIG
news and joy – another baby added to our family!
