Well the little man is finally here! After 42 weeks of pregnancy, and no sign of him wanting to leave the womb, I was induced and delivered on Mother's Day. After 20 hours of labor and 5 minutes of pushing we were excited to meet our little redhead!
Though he seemed to be doing great at birth Ian began to have respiratory problems that same night. He was admitted to the NICU for an increased respiratory rate and low oxygen concentration in his blood. I have to say there is no better way to realize your love for someone when you are afraid something might happen to them! He spent a week in Intensive care, and Eric and I spent a week dirty and tired at the hospital! After finding problems with his lungs and heart he received a blood transfusion which seemed to do the trick. As of now he is home and is doing great! Talk about a rough start :(
