Happy Birthday Eli

Eli was born on April 23rd at 7:57pm! Despite being preterm, he weighed in at 7lbs 4oz and was 20" long! However, his lungs were still underdeveloped and he was immediately taken to the NICU and intubated. (He had a breathing tube put in.) He is currently still in the NICU but is making strides every day! Our hope is that he will be home with us by the weekend. I don't have much time to update, but I did want to post some pics of the little man. I will post more updates as I have time. Until then, your prayers are very much appreciated!!

Congratulations on a job well done. Eli is adorable and looks like he hasn't a care in the world. Love the pictures of his yawn, the leg casually thrown over the side etc. I know you are anxious to get him home in his new room. Best of luck to you all.
