rhys foster lockamy is finally here!!!

Sorry to be so delayed in updating this!!! We've been without a computer for several weeks now but now are reconnected to the world (not that I've had the time to do much blogging anyway)! Rhys is now 3 weeks old, it's amazing how much he's changed in such a short amount of time.

Here's a very abreviated version of his birth story: Rhys finally joined his exhausted mom and dad after 39 hours of labor. He was born via caesarean at 1:18 am b/c although we didn't realize until his birth, his cord was wrapped around him 3 times! Because of the length of labor I spiked a fever and his heart rate got way too high, so by the time he was born he had a fever too on top of having difficulty breathing. They put him on antibiotics right away, and after a very brief glimpse of him he was whisked away to the NICU where they could monitor him closely. Luckily he was pefectly healthy within a couple of hours but had to stay in the NICU for two days just for precaution. I think he must have been the biggest, healthiest baby in the NICU! Here are his birth stats:

Weight: 8 lbs 14 oz

Length: 22 3/4"

We are so grateful that he is healthy and perfect!
