Oct. 20, 2009 - Our Son.... Noah

Our baby, Noah Dewey Shepard Tanquary, was born on the 6th of October at 11:07 PM after my water broke unexpectantly! I was so glad Aaron was home at the time.... our family lives 9 hours away so this was my biggest worry but everything worked out great and the children were with us the whole time during labor and the boys stepped out for the 5 minutes of delivery!!! It really was wonderful and I had a very easy delivery and after only 4 hours from my water breaking and hardly any pain, Noah entered the world and appeared to be perfectly healthy....however, within an hour they discovered he was having trouble breathing and so they rushed him to the NICU.... He had respiratory distress syndrome and was septic....how scary!!! after 12 long days we were able to bring him home.... he is doing really well now...breast feeding has proved to be more than difficult because they fed him bottles (I pumped) while he was in the NICU because he had central lines in his belly button and they told us we couldn't hold him since they could be easily pulled out! It was such a hard time...but we made it through!! And now all he wants is to be held and I am more than happy to accommodate him!! :^)
