He was born at 11:22am weighing in at a svelte 1 pounds 7 ounces. He is 12 1/2 inches long.
He's tiny but strong.
I've only been able to visit him once as I'm still on the devil drug (magnesium) and bed bound, but David has been to see him a number of times and he's doing wonderfully.
He's already off the vent for at least a few hours. When I visited, they said usually he'd be off for a few hours or even days and have to go back, but any time spent off the vent is good. We know he's been off the vent at least 2 hours, so we're doing well.
The doctor explained to David that babies of his size & gestational age have some common problems like blood glucose, blood pressure etc, and so far he hasn't exhibited any of those.
I know we'll have trials, but for now, he's strong and thriving.
We both know we owe his health to all the prayers and love everyone has sent out. Please keep it up.
And without further ado:

Can't wait to see you holding him in August when I get to St. Louis. Congrats Trish, love and hugs and all my prayers.
oh, tricia....he's beautiful! i'm so happy for the good report. many prayers conyinuing to come your way!
Welcome Robert! This is wonderful, Trish. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery for you, and that Robert gets stronger every day.
BEAUTIFUL!!! I am still praying for the miracles to continue!
He is an angel. Good job mama!! Now - everybody get well and get strong and healthy. :-) Praying for all of you!
I'm in complete awe of your strength. I am sure that he can feel the love that is radiating off of the two of you and is using that to stay strong. Keep it up, mom!
So happy to hear that your little Robert is breathing and doing well. Pre-e is so very hard, and I'm so happy for you that your son came and that you are both doing well.
You are in my prayers. Give my best to David. It's so hard to be the husband when this happens. It doesn't matter how strong, how vigilent, how supportive, when pre-e raises its ugly head, all we can do is sit in the maelstrom and hang on. It's scary. I'm so happy to hear that you had a good outcome. Thank God for the magnesium sulphate!
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy!! I will be keeping both of you in my thoughts!
He's truly gorgeous!
Congratulations! He is such a sweet little guy...takes me back to memories of my own little ones.
So glad that he is doing well. I pray he continues to thrive and is home before you know it.
Hugs to you and your family.
Happy Birthday, Robert! You are an incredible little man!
My thoughts are with you and your parents.
