Hey everyone, I know I havent been here very long, or been very active, but I thought I would share the ...Surprise... Birth of my son.

Dylan jacob was born at 9:03pm on the 23rd february... Weighing in at a massive 2lb 4oz and exactly 15 inches long, twelve weeks early.


Dil is doing well, things have been frantic up until now, I was released earlier today, but he will be in there for quite a bit longer. He's a strong guy and he is doing well, his apgar scores were 7-8-9.

Today was a big day for him. He got promoted from the nicu (neonatal intensive care unit) to the scbu (special care baby unit) and has been extubated for the first time since his birth. He still has many wires and tubes but he will lose them in the next month or so. I also held him for the first time.

I do have some pics - but I cannot figure out how to post them. If anyone knows could they tell me or if I sent them to you could you stick them up?


Thanks - carrie and dylan.
