More Pics

I just thought I would put a couple more pictures up for everyone to see, I know Grandma Bonnie in Arizona loves to see them!! Drew is still doing well here at home and he has his first doctor appointment tomorrow in Waterloo, it will just be him and me so it should be interesting!! :) Any way here are the pictures.

This picture was taken when we were still in the hospital. He makes some of the craziest faces!

This one was after his first bath at home on the day we came home from the hospital. Drew loves to have his hair washed!

He looks a lot smaller without all those blankets!!This is Drew's two week picture with his monkey. It's still bigger than he is!!

I took this on this morning, he was wide awake for awhile.

Finally Home

We are finally home! Drew and I got to come home this afternoon! It feels great to finally be here. They found out that he really didn't have an infection so they let us come home. He has been gaining weight well (about 2-3 oz. a day!) and is keeping his temp. up on his own. Here are some pictures for you all too enjoy! :)

Update

I thought I would give everyone a quick update on our situation. Last Saturday at 1:39 in the morning we welcomed Drew Lloyd Urbanek into the world! He weighed 5 pounds 1.3 ounces and had a good set of lungs. He was 18.5 inches long with a ton of black hair. The delivery went fine. I was induced at 6:30 Friday night and had a baby not too much after that! So far everything has gone better than the doctors thought it would. Drew did not need any help breathing and has never had oxygen or anything. We are still in the hospital in the NICU. I was discharged Monday, but I've been able to stay with Drew in his room the whole time to nurse and spend time with him. We are looking forward to getting him home. The doctor thought that it might be Monday or Tuesday of next week that he can come home. He needs to gain weight two days in a row in order to be discharged. Thank you so much for all of your prayers and thoughts, we really appreciate it! I will be sure to post a lot of pictures once we get home and I can down load them to the computer.

Early Debut

Well I had an appointment yesterday at 4:00 and I was leaking fluid. They sent me right to the hospital. I am only 34 weeks right now so I had a steroid shot and have been on antibiotics. Right now it is just a waiting game. I am about 2-3 cm. dilated and 50%. Our little guy could be here today, but I'm hoping he'll wait until at least Friday. It's obvious there is already a plan in place, we just have to be faithful and enjoy the ride. Please pray that he will be born with healthy lungs and minimal or no complications. We'll try to keep everyone posted! :)
