Bitter Sweet, March 20th!

Many of you know that we were hoping to make it to March 20th with this baby, since all are other kids were born on the 20th. So when we made it to the 20th we were so excited and couldn't wait to meet Bo. We checked into the hospital at 7:30, after a few hours the doctor came in and checked on me and said I was ready to go. After a few pushes little Bo was here. We were all so excited and thought he was adorable. He was healthy and we were grateful for an easy delivery. An hour after Bo was born Brett talked to his parents and they said Max was not doing good and was breathing really fast and hard. So we decided we needed to take him to get checked out. Brett left me at the hospital and went and got Max. After a few test they wanted to send him to another hospital that would be better for his needs. So off Brett and Max went in the ambulance to St Lukes, while I stayed with Bo. After 6 long days of being in the hospital Max got to come home, almost. All the doctors recommended we keep the baby away for a few more days. So we had Max go to Brett's parents house. So after a week and a half of being apart we finally got to bring Max home. It was a long week but we got through it, thanks for all the calls and prayers it made it easier. We are so happy Bo is here and that both our boys are doing great!

Thanks to everyone for all your love and support!

Starting to feel a little better, he wanted his favorite food mac and cheese.
We are so excited for Bo to finally be here. He is such a joy, after the ruff start we couldn't wait for our family to be together.
Sweetness!
Bo peed all over his clothes, so we had to take him home naked.

Poor Max and poor you! What a crazy couple of weeks you've had. Bo is adorable, he fits right in with the rest of your kids. I told Brooklyn that Max had been sick and she made a sad face, so cute! Congrats to you!
