New Baby Kamden

My best friend Jennae had her baby!!! This is seriously so exciting b/c she was very high risk and was put on bed rest early in her pregnancy. She had a partial placental abruption... something that typically happens in the 3rd trimester but this happened in her 1st trimester. A massive blog clot developed in her uterus and the babies life was threatened. She was on bedrest and was able to be up and about 10 minutes at a time. As the baby got bigger there was another tear in her placenta and a 2nd blood clot formed. She was then forced to be on complete bed rest. There were all types of worries that if the baby were to make it, he would be born with deformities or other possible handipac problems due to the amoutn of blood she was loosing from the tearing. One ultrasound reading she had early in her pregnancy showed the brain with one side smaller than the other. But further readings showed he was developing correctly as far a size and measurment. Finally everyone can sigh with a huge sense of relief b/c he was born yesterday morning! He was 6 weeks early weighing 6 lbs 7 oz and 20" long! An amazing size for a baby born 6 weeks early! He is being kept in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) for a couple weeks to make sure he has no problems breathing on his own since babies born this early usually do. He seems to be fine so far... This has been a long, scary process and we're so glad baby Kamden has finally arrived safe and sound with no complications what-so-ever! He is so perfect and so incredibly cute! I can't wait to see him when I go home to San Diego next month. Congratulations Matt & Jennae... I'm so proud of you mama!!
