Baby Noah made his appearance 3 months early. So... how did that happen? To mak a long story (fairly) short....We found out at our 18 week appointment that he was a boy, but also that he was starting to measure small. We were sent to specialists and had ultrasound and some other testing done as well. Basically they didn't know why he was continually measuring small but kind of chalked it up to the placenta not working correctly and giving him what he needed. Chrystle was monitored very closely and at 27 weeks there were beginning signs of pre-ecclampsia and she was hospitalized, most likely until Noah would be born. While there ultrasounds revealed that Noah had basically stopped growing and it was decided he would be better off outside and he was delivered at 28 weeks exactly.
Noah was born on March 23, 2010 at 11:48 AM weighing 1 lb 2oz and 11 1/2 inches long. He was able to breathe on his own and is only on a CPAP machine that blows air, but he is doing all the work. For such a little guy he is doing really, really well. Wyatt is excited to be a big brother and doesn't even seem to notice Noah's size as "not normal".
We will continue to post updates on Noah's progress, thanks to everyone for all the prayers and well wishes!!
