Dalton Leland Grissom was born on June 13, 2010. He was 4 weeks early, because Kathy had placenta previa. The doctor thought that it was the most safe to deliver on the 13th, because they couldn't stop the contractions that had started. He was born via a rushed c-section (not emergency because Dustin was able to be in there when he was born, but we signed the paperwork afterwards, that is how fast it happened). He was 5 lb 14.3 oz and 19 inches long at birth. Because he was so early, he did have some breathing issues, and went into the NICU for 5 days, only one of which he was on breathing help. He did awesome, and didn't loose very much weight at all at the hospital. He is doing well at home, and Dryden loves him! We are grateful that the delivery was able to wait until my mom was in town to help out, she was coming to help out with me on bedrest. My mom was here for 2 weeks, and then my mother in law came in for 2 weeks also, and is still here until July 10.
I want to thank EVERYONE that helped me during the 5 weeks I was on bedrest!!! I could not have done it without everyone's help and support. I really did feel like I had a family away from our families with all the help we were able to get from the ward! Thank you all!
Dryden looks like such a big boy next to Dalton! Cute pics.
