Here he is Dallin McClean Seaman! Born March 18,2009. He weighed 9lbs. 6ozs. 21inches Long. He also had a big head 14 3/4 inches. We all figured David's child would be born with a big head right! We are so happy he is here. The girls just love their little brother. He is a very sweet boy. I wasn't so sure about having a boy, but I must admit I am so glad to have him. He had a rough start to life. When he was born his blood sugar was low, so they had to give him an iv. I didn't even get to see him till he was about 9 hours old. He had the iv for about 24 hours. then they still kept checking his blood sugar every time before a fed him. his poor heels were so purple and bruised from all the pricks. it was about every two hours for 2 days! I know he won't remember and it was probably much harder on mommy than him, but still it was sad. Then his billy Ruben count was high. so he had to go back to the nursery for light therapy. They kept us 2 extra days for that. We finally got to bring him home Sunday Evening. ( he was born on Wednesday) We had to take him back the next morning to have the billy checked again. It went back up so it was sunbathing all day and making sure he nursed every two hours. anyway long story short he is much better, but we found out thru all this that there was a blockage in his left kidney. So it has been lots of doctors appointments, and testing. We are now going to a specialist in Atlanta, He is hopeful that the problem will fix itself over time, but if not he will have to have surgery to fix the blockage. We go back up next Wednesday for more testing, so I will try to keep you all posted, but lets face it I am not so good at keeping up with blogging. I just can't find time.
