The Good:
Our beautiful bundle of joy Easton was born October 21st at 1:23 P.M. He weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces and was 20 and a half inches long! Big strong boy! The delivery was smooth and was only 40 min! We couldn't have been happier with the outcome, he stole our hearts the minute we saw him!!!
The Not So Good:
A couple of hours after he was born our little man started making funny grunting sounds, we thought it was just him trying to relieve gas, but turned out that he wasn't getting enough oxygen, and was starting to turn purple. So to monitor him better they immediately took him down to the NICU to start running tests on him. Turns out he has Group B Strep and RDS (Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and has been in the hospital since. He has been improving daily and is almost off the oxygen and breathing on his own! I'm so glad he was a full term baby because he is being super strong about all of this and will hopefully be home with us sometime late next week! It's really hard for Tyler and I to go through this because it is almost the exact same thing I experienced with myself while I was pregnant, but he is so little it's really heart breaking to see him hooked up to all those machines and IVs! It's even harder that we were discharged from the hospital yesterday and he still has to stay there, but they are very good at letting us visit whenever we want!
I just want to thank all of those who have given us their love, support, and prayers! Everyday seems to be looking up! I have lots of new born pics I will post when I have more time, most our time right now is devoted to visiting our little guy!

Glad to see a post! Keep us updated! I know he is strong and will pull through. Can't wait to see him!
Oh Alli, I'm so sorry! That is so hard! I'm so glad he's doing better and I hope he gets to come home soon! Wow, what a short labor!!! That is incredible for a first baby! I can't even believe it! Were you induced? And what a big boy! He was almost the same size as Beckam! I can't wait to see pics of him! I hope you're recovering well too! I bet you'll be out and about and back to normal in no time! Congratulations!!!!!!
we are so happy for you guys! You are in our prayers and I'm so glad he is doing better. can't wait to see pictures!
First Congrats and I'm glad you had a good delivery, but I'm so sorry that he isn't able to come home with you guys that must be so hard, I can't even imagine what you are going thru! Little Easton and both you and Tyler are in our prayers and we're glad to know that everything is going to turn out! Can't wait to see pictures of him, I'm sure he's so handsome! Congrats again you two!!
OH alli that broke my heart! What is it with Strep B? Ugh our little boy just got that too and I tested negative during pregnancy, so frustrating! I am so sorry you have to go through that mostly because your hormones are already out of wack as it is I am sure it just makes it worse. I wish I could do something for you because I know how hard it is to see your sweet baby going through so much. I'll be thinking and praying for you guys! On a side note, congrates! It is so fun to finally meet your sweet baby!
Wow, congratulations on getting him here into the world! :) Poor little guy though, soon enough he'll be strong and home with you guys. Can't wait to see pics!
Congrats!! That is totally scary! I'm sure he'll be healthy as can be, but I can't imagine what you're going through! Good luck with everything!!
Alli,
I am glad to hear the delivery went smoothly. I hope little Easton knows we are all praying for him to feel better soon. Please let me know if there is anything you and Ty need!
