Hyrum decided he didn't want to wait to join our family.  On Thursday at 2:30 my water broke.  I went to the doctor at 8:30 to make sure that is what it was. The doctor told me that because the baby was 6 weeks early he would be in the NICU, and explained some things that would go on.  By 10:00 a.m. we were in the hospital being induced.  I have never been induced and it was not fun.  I didn't think we would ever get to having this baby.  About 12:45 Friday morning I was ready to deliver.  They wheeled me to the C-Section delivery room so they could hand the baby through the window to the NICU.  I looked at the clock and it said 12:55.  At 1:01 Hyrum was born.  By 1:15 I was back in my room.

 

Hyrum is a strong little boy.  He has three requirements to meet so he can come home.  He has to maintain his body temperature on his own.  He has to be able to breath on his own. The third thing is he has to eat on his own and gain weight.  He has accomplished the first two.  Because he is on the Beli-light he doesn't want to eat.  This picture is him on the light.  Today the IV was taken out and all he has left is the feeding tube.  Hopefully he can get rid of the Jondus so he can start eating.

 

Most of the pictures are on James' phone.  When I have him email them to me I will put them up.

Thanks for all the prayers that have gone out for our family.
