Baby Liam is here!!

He just couldn't wait to join our little family! I went in to the hospital on Saturday for a non-stress test. I'd been having contractions off and on but didn't really think anything of it. When they hooked me up to the monitors I was having contractions every 3-5 minutes so they watched me for a while and then just sent me home. Sunday afternoon I woke up from a nap and was having horrible contractions, but I thought they would stop. By about 4 we finally decided to go in to Labor and Delivery. My doctor checked me and there was tension on my stitch and my bag was bulging so he decided to take out the stitch. I dilated right away to a 4 so they admitted me. About an hour later I told the nurse that I was having a lot of pain and pressure whenever I would have a contraction so she checked me again and I was almost a 6 and my bag was really tight so she said I was going to have the baby that night. Early Monday morning my doctor came to break my water and at 1:55 AM Liam made his appearance. He was just over 6 weeks early, but weighed in at 5 lbs. 13 oz., big boy, and 19 inches long. He's in the NICU on cpap and is doing pretty well. He just needs to work to get his lungs stronger. He's a feisty little guy and keeps his nurses on their toes!! Here's a few pictures of him and I'll try to keep my blog updated when I can.




My first time holding him!! This was when they had tried to wean him from the cpap so you can actually see his face!
