Maddux Dean Kettlebar




















The pictures are in reverse order....sorry...still new at the whole blog thing...day one is last and day 4 is first!

Maddux Dean Kettlebar was born on Friday, March 27, 2009 at 11:47am. He weighed in at 7lbs. 13oz and was 20.5 inches long. Some of you may have heard that about 24 hours after birth, it was discovered that Maddux had an intestinal blockage and needed surgery so that he could eat and have a bowel movement. As a mother, you never want to hear that your 2 day old son is going to have surgery, but we knew that God would see him through and he did just that. Maddux had surgery first thing Sunday morning, March 29th and he's recovering wonderfully. We still haven't been able to bring him home, but we're hoping that we can tomorrow...Wednesday, April 1. He's eating like a champion and has become quite the little pooping machine. It's amazing to me what all he has overcome at only 4 days old...he's truly my little hero and I can't imagine one minute without him in our lives. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures...he's adorable! :)

  1. You weren't kidding when you said he looks like Matt!! We love him already and can't wait to meet him. He is so cute, and looks healthy and ready to meet his family.
    (I did this from Alyssa's computer so it will look like Alyssa wrote this...but Julie did...but we all love him, not just Aunt Julie!)
