I am officially a grandma. Preston Lewis Davis was born last Saturday at 5:05 in the morning. Carissa had been to the hospital three times that week for stress tests, and finally they decided to induce labor. I think they actually started to induce her around 4:00 Friday night. It was long, slow process, but around 5:30 I got a call saying that the baby was finally here. Preston had a hard time breathing right away, so they wisked him away and Carissa and Danny didn't get to see him for quite a while. They had to stabalize his blood sugars, warm him up, put oxygen on him and even then, they didn't get to hold him.
He is doing much better. He is off of his oxygen, and has lost and gained weight. He is now up to his birth weight of 4 lbs. 13 oz. He was 18 1/2 inches long. He is very cute, but it is frustrating to not be able to hold him whenever we want. Hopefully he will come home soon. Carissa was released on Monday, but she can stay at the hospital in her room, at no charge, as long as Preston is there.
