Joseph Lange Carson, Born July 28 2006 at 11:15am at 3 kilos 800 grams. Black hair and eyes.
Sam I think understands the baby and that it is his brother.

Ream had a very hard delivery. Her hips and things are not alined so it was very difficult for her. While Ream would push the baby would not move, Ream was terrified. I have never seen someone so scared before. The doctor asked to try a vacuum before they would have to do a c-section. The doctor pulled so hard I though they would kill him the vacuum broke lose the first time but the second time worked.
Ream delivered and was sewn up with no pain killers.
The baby Joseph was also stressed passing his bowl movement before birth. There is also some blood in his urine we see the doctor about it soon.
Today they both seem very healthy, thank the Lord.

The next time we deliver in the states. I tell you modern medicine is a blessing and when you go to a doctor next time appreciate what they can do even if it does not go perfect. The medical office we where going to in Temecula seemed so terrible to us. We did not seem to appreciate that there were not ants, flies, mosquito's or 3 beetles in the room or that the bath room stunk like a hair salon.

We are thankful to the doctors here for what they could do with what they have. To know Ream would have died if we would have had it in the village make us all the more grateful for the success of the delivery.

Oh, Ream, so sorry to hear the delivery was so difficult! But I am very glad you and Joseph are feeling better! What an answer to prayer that you are both healthy! He is a biiiig boy, huh? Much bigger than Sam was when he was born, right?
We love you lots.

It is interesting that you mention what might have happened to Ream, had she not gotten the help in the city - that is precisely what I was praying for, big time. I knew, or thought, that even if you did take her to PP or Bangkok, that she is such a tiny young lady... for a healthy-sized woman child birth s no walk in the park... *_*
Your comment about C section being an option surprised me. I guess I didn't know that would be an option... that was the other thing I was praying mightily for, that if need be, that would be available for her. PRAISE God for being there and telling the nurses what to do.
Thank you for the pictures, Kit - they mean the whole world to us.
I also didn't realize your part of the orphange building was sticking out like I see it is in the picture. I thought it was below the kids' room, upstairs. Looking at your picture, I'm wondering, will rainfall, or dripping water from the higher roof be super loud, hitting your roof? Metal roofs + dripping water usually make for sleepless nights... *o*
Just asking. ^_^
The kids' rooms look excellent!! I want to move in there with them! ^_^

As for us, my surgery date keeps getting backed off for various dumb reasons - Dave's retirement is only weeks away- so I joked with him the other day, he's going to wind up picking me up from the hospital in the moving truck! ha

Isaiah was really good Saturday - or whenever chapter 10 was... (Friday?)
Thank you for the pictures, and for taking such awesome care of my daughter in law, and for your love for us.
