Archer David arrived on July 27th at 4:39 am. He was 7lbs 15 oz...bigger than all of his brothers. If he would have gone to 40 weeks he would have been 10lbs! It was the longest, hardest labor I ever had. He got stuck because he had his hand next to his head. Shortly after he was delivered they whisked him away to the NICU for respiratory distress. I am going to write a more detailed entry later on, but I just wanted to share some pictures and thank everyone for their prayers and support.
After 3 days in the NICU
We finally got to hold him
Bright eyed after being held by everyone
Grant had to have his birthday party at the hospital in order for me to get to be there. He wanted an Air Force birthday so we did a camouflage theme.
I swaddled Archer in a camo bandanna and took a picture so that Grant felt like he was part of the party too.
Finally, Archer gets to go home.
Where am I?
This is how it should be
Biggest brother
Second biggest brother
Littlest brother
Sweetness
Everyone is happy
Day 2 at home...feeling pretty content
