This was my son the day he was born.
He was 1 month early.
Three days prior an amniocentesis had told us that his lungs were not even developed enough to be considered immature.
He had been under stress for weeks prior to his birth, he had endured three and a half days of induction.
His first APGAR was a 4.
His second APGAR was a 7.
He was completely calm all through and after delivery, he never did cry.
He was breathing without any help at all 10 minutes after birth.
Because he had been through so much, was early, and had been exposed to so much, (including an infection (in mom) that was not responding to antibiotics) he was sent to the special care nursery. He was poked, prodded, harassed and carefully monitored. Three days later he was proclaimed perfectly healthy.
A month early and under duress
7 lbs 2.8 oz
18 inches
perfectly healthy
Yes, there is a God and He does answer prayers and perform miracles.

Truly, he is too beautiful for words. I am so, so grateful that both you and he are healthy and well after such an eventful last couple of months.
These little ones give us reasons over and over again to know that God lives and loves us.
