Jeffrey James Hughes - 4lb. 14 oz. 18.5 in.
Well, life just happens sometimes! Little Jeffy decided to come five weeks early, so this past Sunday at 4:31 pm, and after six hours of natural labor, ( what was I thinking! ) he made his grand entrance into the world! He has RDS (respiratory distress syndrome) so he has been on a ventilator for the past four days and it is looking like he might be taken off of it tomorrow. Cross your fingers! He has a slight case of jaundice that developed yesterday and he is all ready getting better. Today was the first time he ate (through a tube straight into his tummy) but his stomach was not digesting it right so we are going to try tomorrow to see if he is ready to digest food. As soon as he can tolerate food and breathe on his own, we can begin to teach him how to eat. After that he needs to gain weight and then he will be able to come home! We love him and he is too cute!
