IT'S A BOY! and I'M AN AUNTY!

ANDREW RICHARD
Born: April 27th, 2008 @ 10:34am
2 lbs, 14 oz
15 inches long

My younger sister Vanessa went to the hospital on Friday night. She was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia. (no clue if I spelled it right) The doctors were giving her medication to lower her blood pressure. They told her if they couldn't get it under control, they'd have to take the baby by c-section. Nessa wasn't due until June 26th.

So yesterday morning my little nephew was born. He's in the NICU. As of yesterday, he was breathing on his own with a little oxygen tube in his nose, but sometimes he'd stop breathing, which is common for preemies. The doctors said if he continued to do this tho, they'd have to tube him. No word yet today.

Other than being 2 months premature, my little nephew is happy and healthy it seems. Nessa was still sick yesterday so she wasn't allowed to go see Andrew. Hopefully today she is better and she'll get to hold her son for the first time. I'm sad that I missed out on the birth of my little nephew, but I'm just grateful that everything seems to be going okay so far. Keep your fingers crossed.

love always,
amanda: jaclyn's twin sister

[p.s.] I'll write about hanson later, after I get my pictures uploaded. =D
