Jonathan Michael Pike II was born on September 2, 2008 and has turned our lives upside-down! I cannot believe that something so small can make such a huge difference in our lives!!! He weighed in at 7lbs 6 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long! It was definitely love at first sight! For 3 hours of his life everything was blissful but then we started noticing a change in his disposition. He began to show signs of distress and we started to get very worried. After several tests the doctors determined that Jonathan was having a hard time transitioning into this world and that he needed some extra help. So they wisked him off to the NICU and left us in shock over everything!
After a couple hours our doctor came and explained everything to us and helped us understand what all was going on and re-assured us that Jonathan was going to be alright. He needed a couple of days of oxygen and a feeding tube just in case he wasn't able to get all the nourishment he needed.
However, long story short...Jonathan was only in NICU a total of 3 days and was able to come home with mommy & daddy!! Our God is GREAT!!!
