On Tuesday August 4th, I went to the Doctor's office and my blood pressure was way too high. My doctor decided that it was best to induce me that afternoon. We started the fun process and 24 hours later baby Kayden was born!! He weighed 6 lbs 1 oz and was 17 in long. Kayden had the cord wrapped around his neck and we waited too long for the doctor to show up to catch him. He came out a little shocked so they took him away for some special attention. Since the nursery is under construction they are all crammed in a tiny room. There was another baby being delivered at the same time and they were all worried about stabilizing this 28 week old baby. This meant we weren't allowed to see Kayden for about 6 hours. It was no fun sitting there waiting to actually meet him. When we did get to see him he had been given an IV. After that he wasn't eating too well. When they took the IV out they were worried about him and gave him a feeding tube. We had to have an occupational therapist help him learn how to suck. After 4 days of him being at the hospital, a nurse finally thought it would be best to let him pull out his tube and see what he would do on his own. This was all he needed to get out of there. He did great on eating and the new pediatrician on call the next day decided he could finally come home. We are excited to finally have him home so we don't have to keep driving to Rexburg to see him.
Kayden after he had been taken to the nursery...
Right before we got to give him his first bath
What a relief... bathtime is over
Dad had a little too much fun with his hair
After he pulled out his feeding tube
Finally he is ready to go home!!
He loved the car ride home in his car seat!
Trying to hold his bottle... how cute!!
Precious!
