Jordan Lucas Lee was born July 16, 2007 at 9:49 a.m. I was supposed to be induced on Friday, July 20. My Mom had changed her arrival date to Sat. July 14, because we decided to induce on the 20th. I am so very glad because if we had not chosen the 20th to be induced, Mom would not have been here when my water broke at 1:30 a.m. on that Monday morning. Labor went great and Jordan came into this world almost as easily as Jadon did. He did not hardly open his eyes for the first week. He is sleeping good and we are all adjusting to being a family of five. Today is my first day at home by myself with all three kids (and I am writing a bog, so I would say it is going well). My mom left this past Friday. She was more help than I could ever say - she was cleaning and washing clothes all the time, plus helping me with the kids. Jadon has had a hard time. We had a scare with him about 4 days ago. He awoke in the morning and could not walk. I was in tears and thinking the worst. We took him to the doctor and they ran test and x-rays. They determined that a virus had settled in his hip. He is much better today. I have been praying constantly about the health of my children these past few days. It is a true blessing to have healthy children. I feel so blessed to have three beautiful healthy boys. I pray that I will raise them each to be faithful and to love the Lord with all their hearts. I pray that they all (and myself and Jesse included) do not put our hope in the things of this world, but that our hope and goal is heaven. Since the scare with Jadon, Jesse and I have been talking a lot about that. We do not want our family to live for this world or our earthly bodies, but we want to be a family that lives for eternity - not getting caught up in worldly desires. Thank You Lord for Jesus. Thank You that we have heaven to look forward to. Thank You for our sweet Jordan, Jadon, and Jonathan - may we know that they are Yours and raise them to love You. Thank You.

Your boys are so handsome! I'm glad today is going well and that Jadon is better. How frightening! Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help you...I'm at home during the days! Hope to see you again soon.

Lisa, hi! I'm so glad you posted. Jordan looks like his brothers, how precious! I had a virus in my hip when I was younger (but much older than Jadon). I remember it being painful, I hope he wasn't in any pain. Did you know that Jordan was born on the day Reuben was supposed to be born? How neat, they are so close in age! Just days apart. Reuben slept the first week too, and is still pretty sleepy. You have such a beautiful faith and love for your children, thank you for your example! Look forward to talking to you sometime, and will be praying for you! I'm so glad we are both having such a great experience with #3 and becoming 5! Love, Ramona

Congratulations, he is PRECIOUS! So adorable, like the rest of his little family! Sorry to hear about that scare but you have a great perspective on it all and have shown Him by sharing! Glad to hear you are all doing well now.

Oh, Lisa! I am so sorry about Jadon. I cannot imagine how scary that can be! We sure do you miss you guys! I can't wait to see you and Jordan again! Of course, I want to squeeze those little boys...I really miss Jonathan and Jadon too (and Jesse). :-) You look great as does sweet baby boy!
