2013-03-15 Liam Hans Egbert

Michelle went into labor 3 weeks early - she prayed herself into labor when the OB ultrasound suggested too much fluid putting pressure on the baby. She remembered Natalie and Brian's experience with Grant. We started driving as soon as we heard she was in labor. Liam was delivered by C-section as expected but had difficulty inflating his lungs. He spent the first two days in the NICU. Liam was 18 inches long and weighted 6 pounds. Michelle did well, but her fifth C-section is a major trauma. She's recovering well. Grandma orchestrated Liam's first bath with many helpers. We spent a week assisting in child care and driving children to school and other activities.
