Elijah Eugene came into this world on October 7th at 12:21 weighing 7 lb 8 oz and was 19.5 inches long. On the 6th momma started itching so she went to the doctor for a non stress test which Elijah failed and momma didn't feel strong movements either so the doctor sent us to the hospital to induce labor. Elijah is a fighter but unfortunately his lungs were still premature at 36 weeks and 5 days. He spent one night in the NICU before getting to move the intermediate care nursery. We are eagerly awaiting his discharge and homecoming as soon as he starts breathing less rapidly and starts eating better. Each time we visit he is getting stronger and more alert. We love our JIJAH !!!! (That's what Mattie calls her little brother).
