What a week!!! Well, where to begin... Declan decided to make his appearance 5 weeks early and give us all a very BIG surprise! He was born on Tuesday December 9th @ 2:19am weighing in @ 6lbs 6 ozs and 19 inces long. My labor and delivery went relatively well, struggled abit to get the little gaffers head out, but other then that all went well. Declan is getting stronger everyday, he is now off his CPAP and antibiotics and is feeding well. Hopefully he will be off his little nasal oxygen prongs by tomorrow and his nutrtional supplements anyday now if he keeps up the good work with his feedings, which so far doesn't seem to be an issue as he sucks back his bottles in seconds :) Andrew & I are doing well, and are REALLY looking forward to bringing him home hopefully before Christmas. Mom, Dad and Dan are heading west for Christmas so it should be alot of fun! I will post some pics of our little man once he has all of his tubes out and is a little less jaundice. Declan looks EXACTLY like Andrew though. The nurses on the NICU have been outstanding and we feel very lucky to have him in such a wonderful facility. It has been a week of emotions like I never imagined... welcoming our son and remembering our daughter and celebrating both! Andrew also had his birthday today, Happy Birthday Daddy!!! We feel extremely blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives and we would just like to thank each and every one of you for all your well wishes and support over the past year and we will keep you all updated on Declan's progress.
Love Andrew & Allie
