Dear Aiden,
You are finally here. You exceed every hope and dream we had as we looked forward to meeting you. You are only five days old and you've already made us so proud. Right now I'm writing this letter as I sit in the hospital bed while you bravely "sun-tan" underneath a phototherapy bed. You've got quite the case of Jaundice - and the dr.'s admitted you last night. Mom got scared and cried and Dad just got really quiet and wanted to hold you all the time. Then we prayed together as a family - all three of us. Mom decided that everything about your life so far has been extraordinary. Your conception, your birth - so why wouldn't this be the same? We decided as a family to go into the hospital praying that God would use all experiences of your life to bring glory to himself. It's pretty clear that the creator of the universe loves you and has very special plans for your life. Mom and Dad feel so blessed to watch all the ways God has been using you. Today Mom got to have a conversation with one of the nurses about God and how he gave us you even though everyone told us it was impossible.
All the dr.s and nurses can't get over how cute you are. Everyone stands around and laughs as you stretch all the way out and put both of your hands under your head -ready to sun tan. Even the lab techs are impressed with how brave you are - even after they stick you with needles.
