We are so excited to have this little boy here safe and sound.
He gave us quite the scare. He was born relatively fast. Because of this, his lungs were not able to get everything cleaned out. He ended up being born with pneumonia.
Here is most of our family the day Dallin was born. Because of the pneumonia, he was hooked up to monitors and and IV's and was not allowed out of the nursery. JT and I were allowed to go in with him. The boys were not able to go. Braiden would come to the hospital the first few days and just cry because he wanted to hold his little brother.
Katie and boys and my Mom brought me flowers. They were so nice to have during our 11 day stay at the hospital. It was so long and I wanted to be home so badly, but I was so grateful I could stay with my baby. I can't imagine leaving him there without JT or myself being there with him.
This became a daily occurrence. (Not the meal) The boys would come and visit me pretty much every day. JT did such a great job taking care of everything. He was such a trooper. Luckily, we had so much help from family and friends. It made the week and a half bearable. This particular night, Iron Man was on TV. Since we don't have cable, all three of these boys were excited to watch the new episode:)
Dallin finally got unhooked from everything and got to come in my room just hours before we left the hospital.
The three brothers together for the first time. It was such a sweet moment for me as a mother.
Our family of five! Crazy:)
Dallin so glad to finally be home!

What a sweet little boy. Things definitely did not go as planned, but he is now a healthy and happy little boy. We are so excited for him to be here. We are so grateful for all of our blessings.
