Happy Birthday!

At 3AM on Saturday, April 14th Baby Simon decided it was time to make his grand entrance!  Sure he is over 7 weeks early, but he is strong and looking healthy.  I keep thinking to myself for as bad as this situation is, it is the best it can be today!  Molly looks wonderful despite a C section, she is feeling great!  The 32 week headache she has had was instantly relieved the moment baby Simon was born.  Clint is a beaming new dad and is just taking it all in!  They look so happy, well deserved after all they have gone through.
Here is baby Simon just before he was taken over to the NICU....It was a calm time, the staff at AGMC were wonderful and made it as peaceful as can be!  The nurses and doctors were phenomenal with everything, Molly is so thankful!

All we know today is the esophagus does have the confirmed gap.  We will learn more soon.  Simon is resting in the NICU, Molly will join him after released from the hospital.  In the meantime she enjoys the kind doctors and nurses allowing her to ride over the Akron Children's to visit with Simon.


Here are some more pictures from Simon's first day of life.  It has been a long 1st day.


Final Stats:  4# 1oz 18inches long!  He has super long legs and big feet, hmmmm, just like 2 of his favorite people!  He has amazing little calf muscles...I think a future marathon runner has been born!
