So another year has past and Ben turned another year older on September 19th. So Happy Birthday LOVE. Also on this very special day for my husband, he now gets to share his birthday with a very special nephew, Derek. My sister Janae, or Derek decided that is was time for him to also come into this world a little to early as well. He was not due untill October 28th so he was born 6 weeks early, unfortunately my sisters water broke and Derek decided to take a turn in her belly so he was feet first instead of head first. So they ended up doing an emergency C-Section. Thank goodness everything was alright with both baby and sister. Bad news is Derek came 6 weeks early and really was not done baking in the oven yet. However he did end up weighing more than William when he was born. Derek weighed 6lbs 7 oz and was 6 weeks early William was 5 lbs 14 oz and just 2 weeks early. It was probably a really good thing that Derek was a little bit bigger so that he can get stronger and breath better everyday.
The reports that I am getting is that he is doing great and gaining weight. He has to stay in the NICU, untill he can gain a little weight and is breathing good as he is having spells of apnea where he stops breathing and oxygen and heart rated drop, but doctors say that is normal for his age and he will grow out of it soon.
I am glad that William will have a cousin that is just 8 weeks apart, that is pretty exciting, they can share clothes and toys and be the best of buddies.
I am very thank full for my husband and all the hard work that he does. SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ben and Derek.
Happy birthday Daddy!
Happy birthday Baby Derek
