The Big Update

We were so excited yesterday when they brought him to our room for the first time since he was delivered. Peter just took him out of the hospital bassinet and the nurse walked in and looked at him and said, I don't like his color. She grabbed Easton so fast, Peter and I had no time to even process what happened. He lost his color and his heartbeat went down. We were already tired from being up all night and me having a 20 hour delivery and we still had not went to bed when they brought him to us. Easton spent his birthday in the NICU leaving us very emotional. We didn't sleep for two nights and have been exhausted. At midnight our NICU nurse told us to get some rest, she would take care of Easton all night. We slept from 1 to 5:30 and that is all we have slept since Tuesday night. We woke up this morning and the nurse said Easton was doing much better. We are so ready to be able to hold him, and to have our friends and family meet him. He has been hooked up to machines and has lots of wires on his little body. We are waiting on his heart results from Texas Childrens Hospital. We hope to have him in our room if everything goes well by 4 or 5 this afternoon. We would LOVE visitors as soon as we get him. No one has got to see him except for Peter and I. So this is why we havn't been able to post pics or videos because he has been in the NICU the first day of his life. We appreciate all of your thoughts, concerns, prayers, and love. I will be posting again later this afternoon.
