Edwin "Harrison" Spencer IV

Finally our new addition to our family is here!

Harrison was born on May 9 at 8:02 am 6lbs 10oz 20 inches long.

On May 8th we went to Labor and Delivery per our doctors orders due to some fluid Christina was leaking. The test came back that there was a tear in the Amniotic Sac and she needed to be induced immediately... quite a shock to us all - we thought we would be home in time for dinner!

After 9 hours of Pitocin induced labor and 45 mins of pushing Harrison finally joined us!

During the delivery meconium was found and once he was delivered he was having trouble breathing... he was immediately rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where he remained for the first three hours of his life - as yo can imagine it was quite difficult on all of us - as we waited in limbo to find out if our little boy was alright.

Mike went with Harrison and Christina's mom stayed with her.

Once they ran all his test, x-rays and hooked him up for a while to oxygen he figured out how to breath on his own. The test all came back looking positive so he was able to leave NICU and join his parents!

Mom, Dad and baby are home and doing well (albeit sleep deprived)!

Below our some initial pics we took -we will post more soon!

Love,
Mike and Christina
