ChrisK Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 So Samantha and I had a surprise yesterday. I was finishing painting the nursery and Samantha was out raking. She came in and her water broke. Two high speed ambulance rides later we found ourselves at Maine Medical. Our hospital recognized that our lil one was coming in hot and heavy at 32 weeks. So they shipped us off to a NICU ASAP. Samantha gave birth to our son, William Lawrence (Will) at 415 am. Our son is in NICU, but they just removed a breathing tube and he is starting to push air with assistance. He's beautiful. A prayer wouldn't go unheard of but he's amazing. Samantha, true to nature, walked down to the NICU with me four hours later! This is our first....and the first Kelby grandson. My Mom is super stoked. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks guys. Yes kruton all of you guys are honorary uncles So Will is 8 weeks early so we have quite the road ahead but he's got the best care givers in the East and Maine Medical NICU is really quite famous for being super good. I just got back from Target to change out of two days of clothes and finally get a shower. My little boy is in the incubator but Samantha got to hold him today and it was pretty unbelievable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent! funny how that works, sometimes it's the baby in the ICU; other times like with my wife, the baby (indirectly) sends the mother to the ICU with blood clots! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khariV Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Congratulations!!! I love the picture. Having just gone through new fatherhood myself not so long ago, I can tell you that you'll get all manner of advice, some good but most bad. The one piece of wisdom I can impart upon you is this: Take lots of pictures. They'll never be this small again and you will never look back years from now and say "gee, I wish I hadn't taken so many pictures when they were growing up." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thanka a lot guys. He's doing quite a bit better and he is off of the uv lights that were strengthening his liver. He had an increase in blood sugar but they have increased his food intake. Last night after being held by my wife for two hours, ivs tubes and all, I got to change his diaper. He was looking everywhere and especially at me. Absolutely beautiful. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claeg Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Congrats man. He has a nice head of hair. My first just turned one on Wednesday. It will get more stressful and more rewarding at the same time. My family will surely say some prayers for the little man. Keep the faith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
