Early Arrival

Kirsten

Well, my baby boy decided he couldn't wait until October. My water broke on the 29th and I delivered via emergency C-section yesterday. He was 27 weeks and 3 days when I delivered and weighs 1.99 lbs. So far he is doing awesome in the niccu, completely breathing on his own, and may even be taken off the ventilator today if everything goes well!

Update: Ventilator is out and he's no longer on oxygen even. The bili lights were just a precaution.

Got to hold him for the first time today. He didn't fuss at all, just fell asleep on my chest. He is taking a pacifier already and we are hoping the good progress continues.
