Baby Weston and Momma Katie

Hey everyone, I thought it would be easier to post about Katie and Weston here so everyone can see. Katie had Weston on Saturday January 14th at 1:32 am. He was 6 lbs and 19.75". He was about 3 weeks early, but that was planned. Aside from his gastroschisis, he was perfectly healthy and as handsome as could be. Katie is doing great. She has recovered quickly and is staying at an apartment near the hospital until he is released to go home.

He is doing really good. He has been peeing all over anyone that is brave enough to change him and his bowels are starting to work. There is still a lot that awaits him and he won't be released for a few more weeks, but he is doing really good.

There is some concern about his arms as he only seems to be moving them at the shoulders. They have taken ultrasounds and the left arm showed up a little suspicious so they did an x-ray. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to tell on babies. They aren't sure if it is a fracture or a dislocation or just exactly what's wrong, but they don't want to worry about it too much until his bowels are taken care of. They plan to do a full skeletal x-ray soon.

Now, off to some pictures :)

I thought I'd start off with the pictures that she took of her pregnancy. I don't know the dates, but they are in order (I think).

Getting ready to head to the hospital

Here are some maternity pictures that Katie had taken by Henery's sister.

Now, on to the good stuff :) Here are some pictures. probably not in very good order, of baby Weston.
