Brayden Daniel came early this morning surprising us all!! I was 36 weeks. My water broke around 1 a.m. while I was in bed - but no bleeding~~

He was born at 3:46 a.m. and was a surprising 6 lb. 7 oz. He has had a little trouble regulating his temp and keeping his blood sugar up but he's a good nurser.

Will you pray that he won't have to stay here long after me?

Oh, I'm walking on clouds!!   



ETA: I just put a couple of pix up on our blog.

That's a good size for 36 weeks! Hooray and congratulations! We'll keep up the prayers!

Awesome Awesome Awesome news. Congratulations to all of you. Beautiful baby. I am all emotional! No emoticon for happy tears. Well done Martha for hanging in there during the tough weeks. I am praying that he comes home with you - I think 36 weeks is full term enough!! Nice size too. I am sure the girls will be fighting over him - better than any doll.
