Super Gloat, best gift Ever!

[MrAudio815]

Hey everyone,

It's been long enough and I should have shared this with you earlier. My wife and I had our first Baby, It's a BOY! :icon_cheers His name is Nathan Alexander, he weighed 8lbs 1oz and was 20 3/4 long. We have been enjoying his presence and smiles. He is now 3 weeks old. The reason so late, well.... Nathan got sick with RSV on the 11th and went to the hospital for oxygen and shots. :cry_smile He was in the Hospital for a full week, very hard on us to see our little one so sick and not eating. :cry_smile We were very scared. They tried an IV in his feet, hands, head, arms, elbows and none of them took! He had brusies everywhere. All is well now, he has a small cough but eating well again and now weighs 8lbs 10oz, much much better. :icon_cheers :gar-Bi

Well thanks for looking, (I love NCWoodWorker) :icon_cheers

I'm so glad to hear that Nathan is doing better. I looked up RSV and can now add that to the ever growing list of things I will worry about.

We both have infants and are up after 2 AM....Imagine that.

Hey Steve,

Congrats again and um well yeah we had no idea about RSV and we took out little Nathan to Walmart, we needed some food at only 8 days old. :BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: Well by friday he wasn't eating well and saturday he looked real bad. We then heard from others saying, "WHAT you took you son out in public"? :slap: Yeah the PEDS said on WED not to bring him around anyone, anywhere for the next 2 weeks. So be careful my friend,

Matthew,
Congratulations to you and Rachel ! I understand the stresses of a new born also, my first daughter was 7 weeks early and then stayed in the hospital for the first three weeks, I'm glad everything turned out well :icon_thum.

Through all of the late nights and crying, enjoy him, because he's going to six soon, then 13, then bfore you know it time will have flown by, So enjoy every moment while you can.

 

[Tar Heel]

Matthew, it's great to know that he is doing well. I know, from experience, how scary it is to see a child so sick. My granddaughter had some problems shortly after birth and I remember well the tubes coming from her and the time they couldn't get an IV started. She's 5 yrs old now, doing great, and she and her 2 yr old brother are the center of my universe.

Again, congrats on the birth of your son, enjoy him while you can because he will grow up fast.

Awesome Matthew! He sure looks good. Hope your wife is doing ok too.
