Baby DeLong News

Heather had her baby boy today with a scheduled C-Section. He was born at 1:08pm coming in at a whopping 9lbs 7oz and 21 inches long. The operation went smoothly with the exception of the baby's head being large enough making it difficult to get out.

The baby has had to go the NICU due to having too much fluid in his lungs. They have hooked him up to the CPAP machine to cycle more air through his lungs to help dry up some of the fluid. It could take a matter of hours or a day or two to get the needed results. Heather and I are a little bummed that we can't hold him while he is on the machine.

Heather is recovering well. She is experiencing a little bit of nausea and itchiness due to her medications. She has pumped already and has gotten a lot of milk! The nurses were very impressed.

Keep us in your prayers and I'm sure everything will turn out just fine. We will keep you posted.
