We are very happy to say that Lane Lincoln Eagar was born at Del Webb Hospital on December 31, 2008 at 11:24 am. He came to us very early--almost 6 weeks early! He was born weighing 4 pounds and 6 ounces, and 16 inches long. We are so happy that his lungs were in great shape from the first moments and he is breathing just fine on his own.
Anna did a great job bringing him here, and she is recovering very well. Anna came home from the hospital on Friday, January 2. She stayed there 2 nights.
He is very cute and we are in love with him already. We usually make a couple of trips to the nursery a day just to see him and to bring him his take-out (milk). Anna is doing a great job keeping up with him. We are grateful that he is just minutes away from our home.
He will likely stay in the hospital at least several more days--they have not given us a date. This is because it is all based on whether he consistently gains weight, learns to nipple all of his feedings on his own, and maintains his temperature. As of this posting, he is maintaining his temperature outside the isolette, nippling a few of his feedings all on his own, and is slightly under his birth weight, which is normal. We are anxious to have him home, but know that the care he is getting now will help us hopefully not have to bring him back later.
We feel very blessed as we have been patiently waiting for this special time. We're grateful for all of the visits, phone calls, text messages, and posts of support and congratulations. It means a lot to us and we love it!
