My baby boy (Ezekiel Rapha'el) is here! And I'm in love...

I delivered my 27 weeker Wednesday night at 11:45 PM. Contractions started the day before and was in labor for 25 hours before having an emergency c-section. To make a long story short I was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix after an 18 week loss last year. After 4 miscarriages before that, I never imagined that I would ever have a baby of my own. I prayed that God would guide my footsteps throughout my entire pregnancy and carry me when I grew weary of impending disappointments along the way. And that he did; God is good. I had a cerclage placed at 13 weeks by a wonderful MFM and put myself on strict bed rest at home until I delivered. I wasn't taking any chances this time around. We found out we were having a boy at 17 weeks and were over the moon. At 18 weeks my cervix shortened to 10mm and all I felt was defeat. My heart just could not bear to lose another baby...l contracted daily and my cervix shortened to 4 mm last week. I set mini goals for myself (20, 24 -point of viability and 28). But this little boy was determined to escape and is the feistiest little thing I've ever seen. The NICU nurses are wonderful and I couldn't ask God for a better team to see us through these next weeks filled with anxiety and ups and downs. He is breathing on his own and is trying to pull out his tubes. He thinks he can do it all on his own! LOL
