Yay! Colby Hunter Holmes is finally here. He was born on October 9th, 2009. He weighed 6 lbs. 9 oz. and he's 19 1/2 inches long, and a very handsome little boy.
Shortly after he was born after they did some tests on him he was having a hard time breathing. It wasn't too bad, just had some shy breathing when he'd go to sleep, so they x-rayed his chest and nothing, did blood work and nothing, so he was on oxygen for about two and a half days. They had a clear bucket thing over his head while he was in the incubator, and Saturday night he got a tube taped to his face in front of his nostrils to make it easier for us to feed him. On Sunday morning about 10:30 am they turned off the oxygen and from there he didn't need it anymore. So from Friday to Sunday he was stuck in the nursery. We had to go in there to feed him or if we wanted to hold him. Sunday they discharged me, but were nice enough to let Colby and I stay in the same room for free until Monday when they discharged him. He's home now and he's healthy, and I'm learning what everyone means by wear a rain jacket when you change him. lol.
The girls just love him. Jamie is asking every half hour if she can hold him, and her and Camrie just sit and stare at him sometimes, it's so sweet.
