Introducing Tiny

Tiny was born at 36wks, 5 days (or 35 wks, 5 days) depending on which date you prefer to use...

He was 11lbs 7oz and 22inches long.  I couldn't make this up!

Tiny's spending a few days at NICU to make sure his blood sugars are stablized - they're pretty stable now, just need to stay that way for several more hours.  He's working on learning to nurse - he'll get it.  The main goal we are working on right now is getting off the dextrose IV (that's the extra sugar they're pumping into him).  Once he's off of the solution completely, they'll monitor him for 24 hours, then he can move down to the "regular" room with mommy & daddy.

5am, ready to go.. this is my actual belly.. ridiculous!

Tiny.. look at those little cheeks!

  5. "Tiny"? Really??? I guess you're glad that the C-section happened after all. Can you imagine going into labor Tuesday night? Love the cheeks, glad to hear you're both doing well. Hope he gets the hang of nursing soon! XO

  10. Fortunately, I didn't have any newborn clothes. I had gotten a 0-3 month outfit for his "take home" outfit, but we'll have to take it back (I hope it still has tags)...
