Well from my last post you know I was put inpatient at St. John's for high blood pressure and Nolan's placenta did not form correctly so with those two issues together we were in there for the long haul! But more on that later...This is a picture of my sister Cheri and her newest little girl Ella Lynn. Ella was born September 19th via emergency C section due to a cord wrapped around her neck but everyone is doing great! 
So shortly after I was put in the hospital it was discovered I had a very slight case of preeclampsia and was order to have daily ultrasounds and monitoring of Nolan twice a day. After 3 1/2 weeks of being in the hospital Nolan started to drop his heart rate so I was placed in Labor and Delivery on September 24th to monitor Nolan over night to see if did it any more. After 12 hours of monitoring and Nolan dropping his heart rate 3 times during the night my specialist Dr. Blake decided that it was "Baby Day"! I was only 31 weeks and 4 days...We were very nervous but knew God was with us no matter what...
He was breathing on his own but needed a little help so he was on the ventilator for less than 24 hours. When he born he wasn't much bigger than JD's hand but he already had us wrapped around his little fingers...;)
This mommy and Nolan's 1st picture together...Oh how I loved him already. I have prayed for this moment for 41/2 years and I couldn't believe I was finally here!
JD got to stay with him all the way down to the NICU and stayed with him for awhile and then came back to check on me and show me pictures of him. Since I had a C section I could not get out of bed for 12 hours so I got to see him through pictures or through the monitor (the NICU has a camera that they would put on him and I could see him on the TV in my room). This was a picture JD took of him for me and for me to send out to people.
Well this post #1 of several but after I get caught up I plan on blogging a lot more for family and friends to stay updated and to record things for my memories and for Nolan as he grows up.
