Well, well, well......Mr. Aidan DID NOT want to wait until 2012 to make his apperance! On Dec. 4, 2012 at 3:19 a.m., Matt and I welcomed our precious son into the world. He was 7 weeks early! He was definitely our early Christmas present. :)
He weighed 5 lbs. 9 oz, and was 18 1/4" long. 
He stayed in the NICU at Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill for 8 days. Immediately after birth, he had some minor issues with his lungs. Since the lungs mature during the last few weeks of pregnancy, Aidan missed out on that and his lungs needed a little help breathing. After 24 hours, his lungs were fine! He just needed to be able to regulate his own body temperature and he also needed to gain weight. In the few days after birth, Aidan lost 9 oz. and weighed in at only 5 lbs. The day he was discharged from the hospital (Dec. 12), he weighed 5 lbs. 6 oz.
At his one month check-up, Aidan weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs. 3 oz!! He was 20 1/4" long, too! He is continuing to grow into a very strong, healthy boy.
We are in love!
