How We Got Our Little Miracle

Here is the story of our little guy.

We recieved word that a birthmother wanted to meet us after viewing our blog. We were so nervious, but just kept saying, be yourself. Saturday the 13th (yes this last saturday) we met the most remarkable girl we've ever met. This birthmom was so strong so smart and wanted only the best for her baby. Well as you know she wanted us to be the parents of her son. So we went home that night and just told our family. She told us she thought she was due at the end of December. We said ok we can handle that. I said I would get things started Monday morning on my day off. Well all that changed. Sunday night at 1:00 in the morning my cousin called saying the birth mother is at the hospital and is dilated to an 8. We got a hold of her mom who said that we will be having a baby within the next 24 hours. WOW is all we could say. So Monday morning we got up and started the phone calls. That afternoon we finally made it to the hospital to be with her and to wait for our little man. The doctor said the longer we can keep him in the better. He wanted to get 2 steroid shots in him to help develop his lungs. Again the amazing women she was she laid on her back  for 24 hours and as still as she could so he wouldn't come out. The hours went by and we decided to head to the place we were staying (which was across the street thanks Diane) and try to get some rest. Well Tuesday morning we get a call, "They just broke her water" so off to the hospital we went and about 3 hours later Hayden arrived. He was breathing all on his own (yeaaaa). So we rushed him off to the ICU and as you can see that is where he is and will be for a while. He is almost breathing 100% but is hooked up to the machine just in case. Everything looks great so far, he is a fighter. They said he will be there until his due date which is the end of January. I know that is way off from what she was told in the begining. He is 28 weeks old now. He weighs 2 pounds 12 ounces. We are hoping and praying he just grows like a weed so we can bring him home earlier than the end of January.

Birthmom is doing great and did a great job. Kyle and I can't say enough about this girl, how much love we have for her. I really hope she knows what she has done for us. I can't even imagine how tough this must be and how strong she is. There is a never ending love for her and will always be in our hearts.
