Welcome Trevor Francis!!

Trevor Francis is finally here! He arrived on Saturday, March 21st at 11:48 a.m. He weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz. and measured 20 1/2 inches long--what a big boy!

We were scheduled to be induced on Thursday evening 3/19, but the labor deck at the hospital was full. We continued to check back overnight and into the next day, but there was very little change. We finally got a call to come in at 3PM on Friday 3/20, so we headed to the hospital and the actual induction started at about 6:30.

Monday morning we were getting ready to be discharged and the doctors noticed that Trevor was looking a little jaundice so they ran tests and found that his bilirubin levels were higher than they would have liked for a baby his age. He was placed under the bili lights in order to lower his levels and the plan at that point was that he would be under for the day, retested after a few hours and we would be discharged on Tuesday. Tuesday morning came and his levels had risen at a rate that the doctors weren't comfortable sending us home with, so he went back under the lights to try another round in the bed. Today at noon we found out that his levels were back to where they should be and we were discharged around noon. Finally bringing our baby boy home was the best day in the entire world for us and we feel extremely blessed that Trevor is a happy and healthy little baby.
