Liam Jacob is here!
Born September 15, 2007 at 6:58pm at Good Samaritan Hospital, Downtown Los Angeles. He was nice and early - 6.5 weeks early!
Weight and length: 4lbs 13oz, 46.5cm
Discharge weight: 5lbs 0.5oz! (way to go big boy!) He spent 16 nights in the NICU.
Who would have thought those weeks ago when Sara went into the hospital in preterm labor that we'd be home 3 weeks later with such a beautiful baby boy. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions these weeks, but we are very glad to finally stay put and be at home in our apartment. We arrived home on Monday, and have been busy feeding, burping, changing poopy diapers and loving on Liam. We haven't slept much, but that was expected! Liam is crying when he is hungry and eating more and more. We are slowly trying to transition Liam to breastfeeding and the nurse practitioner in the NICU gave us good advice about how to do it, it will just be a process. But meanwhile, the freezer is getting full of his food!
Last night we gave Liam his first sponge bath. His umbillical cord fell off last week, but we weren't ready to get the tub out just yet - he is just so small and can be so slippery! But we got him nice and clean and smelling like a baby, which we loved.
We decided to do this little site so that friends and family near and far can check up on us and see how Liam is progressing day by day. We can't promise a posting each day, but we will do our best to keep it updated with the happenings of our little family here in Los Angeles. We love you all and have been so supported by friends around the country, that we are truly blessed to have such people in our lives. Check back soon as we are eager to share Liam with you all!

So great to see you all home. Thanks for posting. This will be a fun way to watch him grow physically, and watch you grow as parents. I predict pictures of sleepy parents to match the sleepy baby!
He is so beautiful...I think it's okay to call baby boys that, btw!
