William "Liam" Robert Braid was born 12/21/09 at 3:54 am at home. Unfortunately Liam came 3 wks early (still technically "full term") and had a hard time making the transition from womb to world due to his immaturity and an emergency situation that happened at the moment of birth (his cord broke due to it's having a weak spot and only being 10 inches long which caused him to loose blood but thanks to quick acting midwives actually lost very little. It was a potentially life threatening situation for both of us) We took him to the Hospital and they observed him for about 30 hrs before sending us home. Thankfully they didn't need to do anything to help him, he just needed more time and pulled out of it on his own. It was actually a good time for the three of us (Mom, Dad & baby) to get bonding time together without the distractions of the girls. Additionally I had some complications after the birth that were quite painful (placenta had to be removed manually - without pain meds) but were handled quickly by my midwife. All in all it was a very scary and traumatizing event but amazingly we are all doing very well now. Thanks be to God for his unfailing faithfulness and goodness!
