New Baby

James Mark Keller

May 8 1:30 AM 12 lbs 22 1/2 inches long

He was born with some complications because he was such big baby. So they whisked him away to the NICU immediately. That was heart breaking because we didn't even get to hold him until 8:30 that night. Or rather, I got to hold him that night since Dave was at home with the other kids. He came off oxygen really quickly and was back in my room by the evening of the 9th which made us so happy.

We've been recovering at home and taking life pretty slow the last 2 weeks. Everyone is in love with the new little in the family.

What is The Chicken House? When my oldest became a big brother, he realized that his spot in moms arms while she rested on the couch had now been taken over by his baby sister. He decided that he would make a new nest in the crook of my legs which he fondly dubbed his "chicken house". Six children later this little spot made by the crook of my legs is coveted whenever I sit down or lay on the couch. In fact, I can't ever sit anywhere without one of the kids sitting on me. They love to snuggle and get their toes warmed and we have come to think of the Chicken House as any place where you feel safe, warm and happy.
