The Stork has delivered our package, But with overnight shipping! After a very scary week of having me come down with severe Pre-eclampsia and being life flighted to the hospital in Ogden, our baby arrived very pre-maturely. We were blessed with Connor on May 25th, 2009 at 12:57 pm. He was only 14 oz and 10.5 inches long! However he truly proves that great things come in small packages! He is such a fighter! My little "rockstar", as we like to call him! Although his body is so tiny, He really is doing great so far! Developementally, he is doing great, he just needs to start gaining weight! We feel so blessed to have him in our lives and cant wait to watch every day how his little body grows and progresses through this trial in his life! I have no doubt that he is strong enough for this, but it will just be a long, hard road! He will be in the amazing N.I.C.U. here at Mckay Dee Hospital for quite a while so he can get the best care that he needs! So far he is pushing on through and hanging in there! The Nurses say that hes even a fiesty little guy and is going to give us a run for our money when hes older!
Yesterday was a great day for baby Connor and for Mommy! Im doing much better! My body is recovering great and getting to see my baby helps so much! Here are a few pictures of our interactive time with the baby yesterday! I got to hold him im my hands for a few minutes and he was so responsive to mommy and daddy's voices. He also opened his eyes for the first time!! He changes so much from day to day. We know that there will be good days and bad days, but we are cherishing that yesterday was so great! Thanks for everyone's love and support through all of this.
Stay tuned for frequent updates on our sweet baby boy!
That is the SWEETEST picture where you are holding him. I LOVE it. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys!!

I'm gonna start looking for "rockstar" fabric :)
Even after seeing him in real life yesterday and looking at your pictures today I still can't believe something so small can survive but I agree with PaPa, I think he'll be just fine. Well more than just fine...he'll do great!
