My wife had a baby girl on April 9 at 4:28 pm weighing 7lbs 4.9 oz. Her name is Audrey Faith Merchen. Mother and daughter are doing good, no major complications. She has plenty of company and competition with her 9 brothers and sisters. I will post pictures tomorrow if I have time. :smiley:

Thanks to all. Just a quick update. Once she was born, Audrey took a turn for the worse and she had to get oxygen. They had to keep upping the amount until finally she reached 80% and they had to put a tube in. They had to give her medicine for her lungs to help them mature a little faster. She is making a comeback though and she is now down to 37% oxygen and breathing on her own (without the aid of a machine). They just have a small oxygen hood over her. She hasn’t eaten yet since she is taking up to 100 breaths a minute. Once she gets the breathing under control then she can try eating and then come home. We are anxious to see that day come. I also have a decent picture finally.

Hello Dave, just want to give my best wishes for you and your little baby darling this Easter.
Rob.

Thanks Rob for your Easter wish, and thanks to all for your concern for our little one. I wanted to get a quick update in. She now has her tubes removed and she started eating from a bottle. Its a funny thing, after 9 days they lose the sucking reflex required for a bottle. So, she has had to relearn that reflex at a very young age. She is doing good though and we hope to have her home this week. Thanks again! :+1:
