...and that is where we stop counting.
At 9:13 a.m. on Saturday, April 4, 2009 our son Vincent was born--a month early but strong and healthy. He is in an incubator but is breathing without assistance and while his first night was a bit rocky it looks like we have really turned a corner today so he may be able to come home with us (fingers crossed) Tuesday.
I will write more details later. I wish I had thought to ask Mr. C to bring the cable for the camera, so I could post pictures, but I will be going home tomorrow myself so I will do so then.
Seeing our Little Guy with leads and an IV has been hard, but I have (for the most part) been able to keep things in perspective (only one melt down, so far). He is well. He is alive. He is beautiful.

Oh how amazing! I'm sorry he has to be hooked up to the IV, that must be scary for you guys. Hang in there, and enjoy holding that sweet little one!! Love the name you chose and really looking forward to seeing some pictures. Hugs to you (and a big kiss for Vincent!)
I'm practically in tears here. Happy ones, true, but still. So glad to hear that Vincent has arrived safely and hope to hear of his homecoming soon. (with pictures, please!)
Congratulations! I hope he's home with you very soon.
Congratulations -- what a blessing! I'm hoping to have a similar post in another 16 weeks or so...

OMG! OMG! Welcome Vincent! I come home from vacation and find that he's here! He's here! And he's alive!!!! I'm crying for you, and for William, and Mr. C. Congratulations!
He's alive...he's here! I'm so happy for you. I know how hard it is to see those tubes and wires. But everyday he will gain strength and he'll start to do something new. You'll be home soon, I know it.

Congrats on the birth of your son. My middle son was born almost a month early and I remember being scared but oh so relieved that he was mostly ok.
So glad to hear Vincent is here and doing so well. Congratulations! And hopes for a quick homecoming.
And I will be waiting (somewhat) patiently for the pictures.
Fantastic news, congratulations and hope he goes home very, very soon :)

My baby after loss was born at EXACTLY the same point in pregnancy yours was. I know it's hard to see him at the hospital. Sending him lots of grow-like-a-weed vibes.

I saw your title and I thought "Any day now..." and then I saw he was born.
WOW! I literally have goosebumps thinking about this. This is so amazing.
Best wishes to you, Mr. C and baby Vincent. This is so wonderful.

Congratulations on the sweet arrival of baby VIncent! What I wish for you and Mr C is many many many years of happiness with your son by your side!
Oh jeez was not expecting that...but welcome Vincent. Cool name by the way. And oh so so pleased to hear you are healthy and HERE...love and best wishes to you all.
congrats! and welcome to baby Vincent...who has a beautiful, strong name.
both my post-IC-loss babes were born right around the 36w mark, and both did beautifully, though the first of them needed two weeks in hospital and that was definitely hard. the second came home after three days, which i hope Vincent does as well. :)
Congrats! Wishing you guys all the best!
Oh gosh! I've been out of touch! I'm glad to hear everything looks bright for the newest addition to your family! Congratulations!!!
