Jarred Brody Henline

Our baby was due on Sept. 18, but came 5 weeks early via c-section. I really wanted another water birth.  I was super dissappointed, but you do whatever you have to for your baby.  Recovery was rough, but Brody did great and was only in the NICU for 5 or 6 days.  He was so tiny!  5 lbs when we took him home.  So incredible to see him learn to breathe and to swallow.  He was a trooper.

A few days later...

Dyson showing how big his brother is

Dyson got to scrub up and visit his baby brother in the NICU.  One of my most precious memories ever.  I couldn't go with him to see the baby so Dad took pictures and they came to show me right after.  Dyson was absolutely glowing.

Cambry had to wait a few days to see him because she and Ellie had colds.  She FINALLY got to hold him.

Good thing we waited until she was better because she 'could not stop kissing him!'

Waited for months to have her brother hold her finger like this.
