William Wyatt Howden was born at 1:39pm at St. Mark's hospital. He was 8lbs 15 ozs and 21.5". A big boy with lots of (suprisingly) dark hair. Same hospital, same room, same respiratory tech, same just about everything. William is a popular name from both sides of the family including two great grandpas, a great uncle, a 2nd cousin, and a 'great' uncle.
After Wyatt was born, he experienced some of the same breathing difficulties that Elliott did, so we made the same trip over to the NICU for a little bit of extended observation and sucking some more goo out of lungs / sinuses. As we walked into the NICU, we ran into the same nurse / doctor and they put Wyatt into the same bed where Elliott was just over two years ago.
Fortunately, this time around, baby only had to spend about 3 hours in the NICU (compared to 9 days), so he was able to come up to Annie's room / the nursery. Annie is doing fine and it was great to be able to hold the boy this time around.
"Attack of the Clones" - not just a bad George Lucas movie...
Hint - Elliott is the second picture.
Grandpa Howden brought Elliott to the hospital to meet his brother. He was pretty excited.
The hospital / experience has been great thus far - thankfully no extended NICU stays and we got to hold the boy on day one.
More updates forthcoming.
