Baby Brody Update!

I can't believe how much little Brody changed, in just a few days!!! He is such a good little guy! We had to put him back under the billi light from Monday night until Wednesday morning, and he didn't like that too much, but he is doing much better now! His poor Mommy hasn't had a very good time since he was born. She has had an unbearable pain in her right side and no one has known how to help her. She was in so much pain that she couldn't even get up off the couch by herself and it hurt to pick up or even hold little Brody. It was a really rough week.... but I got a lot of "Brody time!" JoDee started feeling better on Wednesday night, which made it so much easier for me to leave her and come back to Ohio on Thursday.... but yesterday (Saturday) they ended up taking her to the E.R. and she was admitted last night. She spent the night and the Doctor finally came in this afternoon and they've decided, after a lot of tests, that she has pneumonia in the lower part of her right lung. That poor girl. She's got to be in the hospital on an antibiotic for 48 hours. Good thing Brody has doting Grandparents and family! Hope JoDee gets feeling real soon!
Here are some updated pictures of Brody!

Brody Max Baltazar!

Well, Little Brody has finally arrived!!! I was on my way to Utah from Ohio when all of this was going on, so I'll tell you what I know! (JoDee will post more on her blog when she has a chance!) They arrived at the Hospital around 8:00am on Monday morning to begin the IV with the antibiotics for Group B Strep, and then later that afternoon, around 2:30, they broke her water. Throughout the rest of the day, she slowly continued dialating, and I think it was around midnight that she finally reached a 10. They had her push for almost 2 hours, and through all of this, little Brody didn't move at all. So, the doctor decided to take him C-Section, and little Brody Max Baltazar was born around 2:35am this morning, November 10, 2009! And, it's his Daddy's birthday too!!! What a great Birthday!
Brody Max is quite the kid! He weighed in at 9 lbs 14 oz, and he is 22 inches long! I don't think he'll fit into newborn clothes! And... no wonder he didn't move during labor... he couldn't fit!!!
He is adorable and we can't wait to meet him! They'll be home from the Hospital on Friday or Saturday, and it probably won't be till then because they aren't allowing many visitors at the Hospital!
We are so proud of you Brett and JoDee!!! You did a good job!
