Squeaker

This little guy is one of the reasons I've been so busy lately. You probably have already heard this crazy story, but I figured I'd go ahead and retell it here.

Big sister Tessa is in LOVE with her little brother.
The whole fam
My sister and her family were moving across the country, and decided to stop here for a few days on the drive out. They stopped the night before at a hotel about 6 hours from here, and when she woke up the next morning, my sister discovered her water breaking 4 weeks early! They drove 100mph to get here, I called hospitals and a doula, and me, Kelli, my mom and my dad (who were out for Kelli's graduation) drove to meet them halfway and follow them to the hospital.

Little Squeaker (what we are calling him until a name is decided upon) arrived early the next morning and doesn't really look pre-term at all! He was 6lbs 4 oz, 19 in and has tons of dirty blond hair. He's had to go back to the hospital for tests every day because he's pretty jaundiced, but otherwise he's doing great. He's such a sweet little guy, and now I get extra house guests for a couple weeks! This has been good practice for how things are going to work out in (hopefully) 6-8 more weeks. Since all his stuff was in the moving truck, we've had to beg, borrow and steal everything this boy needs. We've also stocked up a little for DB and are letting his cousin borrow it for now. I don't think our baby will mind.
