Rainbow Kalen is here

We made it, our rainbow is here.  Everything pretty much went as planned.  We went in late morning on Tuesday the 2nd of July and had a baby, a live baby.

Going into the operating room was hard for me, actually all of the operation was hard for me.  At least this time there was a little cry when he came out.  He didn't get his first big breath of air like he should have, and he quickly started turning blue, but luckily they had a whole team of NICU doctor's there.  Clay was pretty worried and I was a little bit, but I just kept thinking, he's alive he has a much better chance then Kyler did, especially since we were at a hospital that has a very good NICU.  Just as they were getting ready to intubate him he started trying to breathe on his own.  They hooked him up to oxygen and whisked him and Clay off to NICU.  Almost as soon as they got him to the NICU he started trying to pull the oxygen off.  They decided to see how he did on room air and he did great.  5 hours later we were all back together again in my room, and he's been doing well ever since.
