He Is Here

I know, I know, I am a slacker. My computer is downstairs and I haven't been able to go down them very easily.
Brevin was supposed to be born today, but he decided to do some extra active somersaults and broke my water on the evening of the 7 th. After speeding to the hospital, we had to wait 3 hours for him to be born at 12:09 am on Wednesday the 8th.
Bill and I were crying as hard as he was as soon as we heard him. It was an amazing moment that was too short. Brevin wasn't breathing very well so they rushed him off to the NICU. Bill went with him while I was being finished up. Apparently there were some complications and talk of hysterectomy and a lot of blood loss. I did not realize how serious it was until the next day. If I hadn't had a c-section, things could have been really bad. Poor Bill was like a chicken with his head cut off, not knowing if he should be with me or Brevin. And my parents were left in my room for over an hour wondering what was taking so long. Thanks for sticking it out Mom and Dad!
Turns out that I was fine, just super tired and sad that I still hadn't been able to hold Brevin. The next morning we were told that he was probably going to be sent to UVRMC's NICU because he wasn't doing that well. But an hour later he was off the breathing tube and the steroid for his lungs was starting to work. He was in the NICU for 2 days and was moved up to well-baby status just in time to go home when I got released. Now he has jaundice, and has his own private tanning bed and gets his heel poked everyday to test his blood.
We are so happy he is with us, and he is worth everything.
I will post some pictures as soon as I download them from my camera, which involves practically laying on the floor to plug in the cord, and I am not in shape to do that yet.
Thanks to everyone for asking about us and all of your happy wishes. Love you all!
