Well, Mason Layne Graham decided to make an early appearance into this world (or my blood pressure decided for him). He is absolutely the most precious baby I have ever seen in my entire life...maybe I am a little biased. He weighed only 3 pounds 2 ounces and was 16 inches long...so a VERY little guy. His birthday is 11/25/08 at 5:25 PM. He has to stay in the NICU in Lewisville for the next 6-10 weeks, but is doing SO well and came out screaming. He came off of the ventilator after just 2 days and is breathing just a tiny bit higher level of oxygen than we breath. He scored an 8 out of 10 on his APGAR test which is really good for a 10 week preemie. What else...he started digesting food as of today so he is getting the good stuff from mommy along with the essentials he needs otherwise at this age. Basically for his age he is doing extremely well and is a good size baby.
The nurses said that a lot of times when moms have high BP the baby senses it in the womb and knows it wont make it to term so it somehow makes them develop faster to make up for being early. Luckily Masons little body took over and did this. :)
First family photo! Pardon my looks...
This was his debut into this world. He came out screaming!! Best sound in the entire world!
