THE EARLY ARRIVAL!!!!

Presenting Devin James Duncan 3Lbs 3Oz 15 1/2 Inches!!!!!


"Our Little Man Is Here"

Okay so I know this little guy wasn't supposed to be here until May 8th, but he was impatient like his dad :) so here we are! To give the short version of the story in case there are some of you that don't know. Devon came a little earlier than planned. He was having some growth restriction in hotel uterus, really it was do to my placenta that wasnt wanting to make it to the full 40 weeks. The Doctor was suspecting Preclampsia (Basically it causes less blood flow through the placenta to little devon, which then was causing growth restricition to the the little guy). They found this just last week and it progressed quickly enough that it was necessary to take him out at 33 weeks 5 days. I had to be delivered by a C-Section surgery, which by the way, went really well and wasn't as horrible as I was anticipating! Needless to say Devon came out screaming which means the little mans lungs are mature, and so far he is breathing on his own :). The Dr's said he passed his apgar tests at a score of 8.9( that's going off a scale of 1-10) They said he is thriving like a full term baby, just little bitty. Chris and I could not ask for a more beautiful perfect baby, thank you all for your love, support and prayers. It has made a world of difference, and we could not ask for better family and friends. We love you all! Enjoy the videos and photos below :) Devon will get to stay with his other little friends in the hospital until he is about 38 weeks old, then he can come home with his family! We can't wait!
