Here's Wyatt!!!

Wyatt Daniel Broeckelman made his debut on Monday, March 15, 2010! He was born at 36 weeks and 4 days. He weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz. and was 19.5 in long!

I went to my weekly doctors appointment that morning and my blood pressures were so outrageous, my doctor made the call- today was the day!! I tried to talk him into waiting until the next day because Monday was Grant's 2nd birthday and I wasn't quite sure I wanted them sharing a birthday. But my doctor said we shouldn't wait any longer. Things went so quickly from there. I went up to the Labor and Delivery floor at 11am and Wyatt was born by c-section at 3:59pm. He started crying right away and he had the sweetest little cry!!! I was happy to know he had no problems breathing. They took him to the newborn clinic to check him out and everything looked great!! The Naval Hospital does not have a nursery, so its 24/7 rooming in!! Later in the evening, he had a little trouble keeping his temperature up, so they had to take him back to the newborn clinic and run some labs. Poor little guy had to get an IV to put in some antibiotics. By 10pm, he was back in our room!! The only other complication he had was a little bit of jaundice. After about 12 hours under the bililights, he was given a clean bill of health! As for me, my blood pressures had not returned to normal, but they still let us leave the hospital Thursday evening, thank goodness!!! It's so nice to be home!!

Grant has loved being a big brother!! He has definitely been a little on the mischievous side since Mommy left for the hospital. But he definitely seems excited to have baby Wyatt at home! He loves giving him kisses, hugs, and showing him his toys. He won't call him Wyatt, he calls him "Ky" for some reason. When he wakes up in the morning, he comes out of his room and starts looking for "Ky." It's pretty sweet!! Having Wyatt at home has made Grant seem like a giant though!! I can't wait for a few more days to go by so I can pick him up and give him a big hug!!

I'm so excited to start this fun journey as a family of four!!
