Hayes was born November 9th, but it doesn't seem like it was that long ago! He's only been home for a week now. He was born at 38 weeks and was 7lbs 11 oz, but got to be one of the 1% who have immature lungs still despite his size and 38 weeks being considered full term. He stayed in the NICU for 10 days while he was on a ventilator for the first half and then had an oxygen tube in his nose for the second half. It was 5 days before we even got to hold him which about killed us! They let me stay at the hospital with him though which was nice and we had Grandma Joyce here to take care of everyone at home when Tyler had to go back to work.
Now Hayes is doing great though and has had no problems since he's been home! He had to come home though to a house full of sick kids! So none of them have gotten to hold him yet without a hospital mask and we are going through purell like crazy and crossing our fingers that he stays healthy! He is one sweet little baby though! We're all smitten. He loves to sleep and only wakes up to eat every 3-4 hours. Now we just need to stretch that out at nights!
