He's heeere! That's right, our little guy was born today, October 22, at 12:33 pm. Laurie started laboring at 11 last night, and labored through the night... we came into the hospital at 2:30. The epidural was wonderful (even for me, the husband!), and it helped Laurie labor while being able to get a little rest. When Laurie started pushing, she only had to push for 13 minutes before our little guy was here! They let us hold him briefly, then took him to the NICU. He had/has some bleeding in his lungs, a slight fever, and muconium throughout him. Now, he's hooked up to a respirator, and his breathing is a LOT smoother. I was relieved to see how much better he was doing by this evening. We're excited to be parents! Laurie is doing well, and hopped up on drugs! We're both exhausted physically and emotionally, so hopefully tonight will bring well-needed rest. Thank you for your prayers!
What a cute boy! Thanks for the pictures. Hope last night went well. We love you and you are in our prayers.

Looks like a Meservy to me!
He is handsome! How big? Sounds like it was a good time for him to come too, w/ the meconium problems and all--glad he is safe, he will only keep doing better. Excited to hear his name too!
ReplyDeleteYea!! Congratulations! I'm so glad everything went well and he is doing okay. He looks so cute. How much did he weigh? I'm so happy for you guys. Good luck adjusting to parenthood!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, CONGRATULATIONS! Laurie, you are a trooper! Did the scale say he was just over 7lbs. I couldn't tell for sure. Oh, what's his name too? I'm so happy for you guys!!
