Text from my brother.

Maxwell Theodore
2 pounds 1 ounce.
Born about 20 minutes ago. Small but complete. Squealing like a little squirrel. Taken c-section. They say everything now is fine, they are doing xrays and checking everything out. He looks fancy beyond words. Keep praying.

*Thank you ALL for praying. Please continue. I'll keep you updated.
I am a modern day homemaker with a passion for family, cooking, celebrating, decorating, travel, and memory making! The Lord has blessed me with the desires of my heart in my husband and our two sons. We recently built our dream home and cultivating a loving and happy haven for my family is where I find so much joy.

  17. I am praying, and I have asked all the people who work in my office (an ob/gyn office so it really hits home) to pray as well... I have faith little Maxwell will be just fine and will be playing with Levi by Christmas.

  24. 2 lbs. 1 oz. is actually BIG for a 27 weeker....praise God! The Lord made incredible doctors and specialists for a reason, so trust in them in addition to trusting in the Lord and you will see how miraculous this will all work out!

  25. i'm praying. i was about 3 pounds when i was born and then dropped to 2 something. little Maxwell will grow up to be big and strong (and may even have to go on a diet in, say, 23 years or so).

  26. Praying for your sweet little nephew. My nephew only weighed a few more ounces than that when he was born, and he's as healthy as can be. The next few months will be though, but they'll make it through.
