Welcome To Our World....

We would like to introduce Elijah Thomas Bailey. He is our newest little critter. He was born Tuesday morning November 13th at 9:53am.
Weighing 3 pounds 10.7 ounces
17 inches long

On Monday (Nov. 12th) we went for one of our weekly ultrasounds and then had an appointment with Dr. Goerish later that day. Well, when she walked into the appointment the first thing she said was "How ready are you to have this baby". Lets just say things were a whirl wind from there. Our baby had dropped from the 17th percentile to less then 10.

I had to be induced that day. We were taken straight over to the hospital and our journey began.

Elijah was perfectly healthy with the exception of regulating his own body temperature. Because he could not keep himself warm he had to be in an incubator for four days. During this time he was also not strong enough to eat on his own and had a feeding tube. After the four days in the incubator and starting to eat better on his own he got to come out. The next few days were spent making sure that he could stay warm on his own and gain some weight.

We got to bring our blessing home on Monday Nov. 19th. After a week in the hospital we were ready to get out and get to know our son better!

We will keep you updated with more pictures soon.
