A re-cap of the last few days...
Abby started having contractions early Wednesday morning. They weren't very strong yet, so we got our stuff together, had breakfast, took Aliyah to hang out with her cousins, and then headed to the hospital around 8:30am. We checked in, got assigned a room, and settled in a bit.
After 9 1/2 hours of labor, Levi was born at 1:38 pm on Wednesday, Feb. 15.
He came out crying very loud pretty much immediately. After a while, however, Levi lost a bit of color and while breathing he was making grunting noises. Apparently this is a sign that he is having difficulty breathing, so he was taken to the nursery for extra observation. Rimas stayed with him in the nursery for about six hours after which his rapid breathing slowed to normal levels, he was no longer grunting and was allowed to go back to Abby's recovery room.
We went home from the hospital on Friday morning. They were all very nice there, but it's been nice to be out of the hospital and we can now start settling into a routine.
Aliyah has been a very interested big sister. She gets very concerned when Levi cries. She's learning very quickly how to be gentle and loves to help with everything.
To see the two of them together, it's really amazing what just a year makes in a child's development.
