Due to severe pre-eclampsia, they had to deliver my sister's baby this morning at only 31 weeks. 3lbs 2oz of fiesty. I predicted that this guy was gonna come out kicking and screaming and pissed the fuck off and according the NICU nurse, 31 weeks was enough time to develop quite the personality. The doctor said he is doing 'remarkably well.' He is breathing on his own with the just some oxygen support. He doesn't like the tube and keeps pulling it out which is why in the one picture he's holding my finger, so he'll stop. If he stays good and stable tomorrow we may get to hold him.
My sister hasn't been able to see him yet because the medicine they're giving her to prevent seizures means she can't move around. She's is recovering, but still has high blood pressure. If you say prayers, please say some for them both.
And if I burst into tears one more time...
