Levi has "Landed"

Our precious little Levi Andrew, has arrived. He decided to check out of his "womb", (sorry, couldn't resist) a little early. Early as in about 5 weeks! Mom and dad arrived at the hospital after Melissa's water broke early Monday 10/11/2010. It's safe to say that Jason and Missy were much surprised as they hadn't planned on babys' arrival for some time yet. But they just
decided to go with the flow, change their plans somewhat and "get to work" getting this baby born ! The babys' early decision to arrive wasn't the only surprise. Is the baby a girl or a boy, was the other big question !! Jason and Missy did a lot of walking around the hospital to try and get labor moving along at a good pace. What a cute mom and dad !!
Surprise - the baby is a BOY ! And his name is Levi Andrew ! He arrived after a long day of waiting, contracting and waiting some more. Levi arrived at 1:23 a.m. on Tuesday, October 12, 2010. A forever special day in our lives !
Since Levi arrived early, he is in the Neo Natal Unit until he can be checked over and be approved to move on ! Not only are his parents such troopers, but Levi is as well! He is a "preemie" but is on task for so many mile stones ....he is breathing on his own, is taking to breastfeeding well, and he is maintaining his body temp. He is awesome ! And of course, beautiful too ! We couldn't believe all the hair that he has ! He found his fingers right away...
Mom and Dad make a great team ! It was a long, full and emotional day for them...but they have their beautiful baby boy , such a wonderful surprise, and many more adventures and surprises to come....
