Quick Update... from the hospital...

Well, Thursday afternoon Kelli's doc made the call to induce her labor. The Dr. was concerned that Kelli was on the verge of going pre-eclamptic after several visits of Kelli having high blood pressure so she made the call to induce. They induced at 1:20 pm. After just shy of 36 hours of labor we met our son, Liam at 12:56am on April 9. He was distressed from the delivery and was not breathing on his own so they whisked Liam and I off to the NICU while the Dr (the third one to come on call since they induced...) finished up with Kelli. They put him on IV fluids, C-Pap machine to help with breathing and a stomach tube for feeding and venting air from his stomach. As of 10am, he is breathing on his own just fine, they took him off the C-pap and they are observing, NICU nurses said he is angry but fine. Kelli is recovering Liam is recovering and so am I. Liam is 7lb 11.1oz and 21 3/4". Pics to come.
