Shaefer Anson Call

Well - he is already showing us who is boss! :)



Shaefer Anson Call's Stats:
Born April 27th at 10:34 am (2 1/2 weeks early)
5 lbs. 4 oz. (tiny)
17 inches long
As strong as ever!!

Here are a few pictures of our new little family and of the new Daddy!



I had been having contractions every 8-10 minutes on Sunday but didn't think that anything was happening. On Monday morning - I was getting ready for school...and started to get really worried because I hadn't felt him move in awahile, when he usually is really active. I called the hospital and they told me I needed to come in a put him on the monitor. I started getting really nervous but we came to the hospital. They instantly found his heart rate but as soon as I had a contraction - it dropped from 150 to 50. They told me right then that I would be staying at the hospital and having a baby! They continued to monitor his heart and it dropped a few more times. They decided to brake my water and when they did his heart rate dropped again - so I was wheeled away into an emergency c-section. We got to the hospital at 8:30 and by 10:30 Shaefer was already here! It all happened so fast - and poor Anson couldn't even come into the room because I had to be put to sleep because Shaefer wouldn't handle it any other way. Finally at about 2:00 in the afternoon we were together as a family in my room. Come to find out - my placenta was not giving him the nutrients he needed so that is why he is so small and the cord was wrapped around his neck. We are so lucky that he was born healthy and that we came to the hospital when we did! He is super strong and has only been on an I-V because he didn't want to eat.

He is perfect and we love him so much!

Congratulations! (Sis. Gibby here.) I'm glad everything turned out well although it was according to plan. He's a cutie. My baby was just about the same size when she was born and none of her clothes fit her. I finally found some preemie pants at Babies 'R Us and they were perfect; try that if you have the same problem.
