samson

My best friend Hailey had her baby 10 weeks early! Samson just couldn't wait anymore and so he came. He weighed 3 lbs and is in the NICU for a while until he can eat on his own, but this kid is a fighter! He's breathing on his own and he's gained an ounce. I took some pictures of him so you could all meet him.

He moved just as I was taking it.
This one's my favorite! He was 15 inches when he was born, which is pretty long for a preemie, and he LOVES to stretch his long legs and arms out. I don't know if you can see in this pic, but Samson has got some large feet.
Just want to say that I'm so grateful for my friend Hailey. I've known her since 6th grade and we've been friends since. She is always so positive and she is so close to our Heavenly Father. Thanks Hailey for being such an example to me!! Love you.
