Welcome Home, Drew!

We welcomed Drew Stephen McClellan into the world on March 31st at 8:05 am. He weighed 8 lbs 2 ounces and was 19.5 inches long! My delivery went perfect this time. So much so that I remember looking at Jason and saying, I could do this again! I can't remember if he responded or not!!!

Right after Drew was delivered, he was taken to the NICU because he had fluid on his lungs. They say this is common with babies delivered via cesarean, but I will tell you that it was one of the scariest things Jason and I have ever dealt with. Drew was admitted and spent the first 24 hours of his life in the NICU. We could not hold or feed him. It was a blessing that Jason was allowed to go in and hold his hand. My nurse also wheeled me, bed - IV's and all, into see him as well. All of our prayers were answered and he was released to us around 9:30 on April 1st! We are so thankful for all of the wonderful nurses and doctors at Hendricks County!

Conner is a very big help with Drew. The first few days, I must admit, were more of an adjustment than I ever dreamed of. Conner struggled with having someone new at our house. Slowly, he has adjusted and seems to be in a great place right now. He asks to hold Drew and talks a lot about all that they have in common. It also helps that Jason is home for three weeks because he and Conner do a lot of special things and then Jason takes Drew so that I can have my time with Conner. Jason and I are truly blessed and it is with much joy that we introduce you to Drew...
