Say a Prayer for our New Nephew!

Baby Boy Thompson was born this afternoon just before 3! He weighed in at 6lbs and 15oz! Erica, my SIL, was induced this morning early and had a pretty quick delivery considering induction.


Baby doesn't have a name yet, but they have 2 picked out. He had a rough entrance and had gone to the bathroom twice, had the cord wrapped around his neck, and was faced the wrong way. They tried using the forceps and since he was faced the wrong way that didn't work. They had to quickly suction him out with the vacuum and take him to the NICU. His coloring was off and will spend the night in there for sure. He's on oxygen and nobody can hold him. Erica hasn't even seen him yet!!! She has to wait until her epidural wears off, hopefully that is soon. Kyle (Kody's brother) has gotten to touch him and that's it. My MIL said he's a poor little sight, has a boo-boo on his head from his rough entrance and is all hooked up to monitors.


Say a prayer that he is well enough to get out of the NICU tomorrow and Erica can see him tonight! Oh and that they choose the name tonight. Kody and I are about to go crazy! They wanted to see him first and I totally understand.


***Update, as of tonight Baby is named Drake Ryan Thompson. Kody said he's going to call him Doc...(DR) haha. We love it. Drake & Drew!***
