1BigDog Posted September 24, 2012 #1 Posted September 24, 2012 Saturday we had my daughter Kelly's baby shower. Saturday night her water broke and she was rushed to the hospital. Shes now in the NICU (neonatal ward) and will remain there until little "Gavin" decides to make his entrance. Shes at 29 weeks and the baby weighs in at 2.5 lbs, which surpasses some benchmarks for weight and size minimums. The longer the kid waits, the better it will be. Original due date was Dec 9th but that would be a miracle if the baby waits that long. Could be any day now, we just dont know. Were all just hanging in there right now. Please keep Kelly, Chris and baby Gavin in your prayers.
Motorcycle Mike Posted September 24, 2012 #2 Posted September 24, 2012 A friends daughter in law's water broke at about the same time fram as your daughters. She carried it for over a month before the baby was born healthy. Hope yours has a happy ending also. We'll say a little prayer just in case.
mini-muffin Posted September 24, 2012 #3 Posted September 24, 2012 Hope all goes well Jeff. The docs can do pretty well just hope your grandson isn't in too big a hurry to meet the grandparents. Margaret
painterman67 Posted September 24, 2012 #5 Posted September 24, 2012 prayers up Ruffy.........hope all is well David
Squidley Posted September 25, 2012 #6 Posted September 25, 2012 We'll keep y'all in our thoughts in the hopes that Gavin decides that he really doesn't need to come out yet. Just think of it as if he's as stubborn as you, he'll be full term ....it will all work out brother
muffinman Posted September 25, 2012 #8 Posted September 25, 2012 Hope both your Daughter and grandson are doing well and that the docs can convince him to stay put till all is prepared and he is real healthy Jeff
Guest Posted September 25, 2012 #9 Posted September 25, 2012 Day three and they are doing good. No contractions, strong heart beat. Now all we need is time to be on our side.
Guest Posted October 1, 2012 #10 Posted October 1, 2012 Gavin was born on Saturday morning. 2lb 12 oz, 16" long. Pretty good size for a 29 week preemie. Hes already off the respirator and moves well. Color looks good. Later....
muffinman Posted October 1, 2012 #11 Posted October 1, 2012 That's great news Jeff hope all goes well for Gavin and your daughter Jeff

Guest Posted October 3, 2012 #17 Posted October 3, 2012 Gavin's dad designs websites and does media stuff so I guess it was a natural response for him to make a website for Gavin. Pics are at http://www.gavinfanning.com

cecdoo Posted October 3, 2012 #19 Posted October 3, 2012 Congrats PopPop, hope he keeps getting stronger every day! All the best to you and your family. Craig
Guest Posted October 10, 2012 #20 Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Little Gavin is doing great. There are 2 sides in the neo natal ward, an A side where the most critical are and a B side where they graduate to. This AM Gavin was moved to the B side. Hes breathing on his own now and is pretty active. He gets an oxygen tube on occasion to give his lungs a little break but hes basically on his own for now. Thanks for the prayers and thoughts....... Oh yea, hes now over 3 lbs...... Edited October 10, 2012 by Ruffy
foyerboy Posted October 10, 2012 #21 Posted October 10, 2012 What a precious baby......Praise God that he's doing well.....Congrats and keep looking upward!
Guest Posted January 1, 2013 #22 Posted January 1, 2013 Sorry folks but I havent been on in a while. Got some personal issues that I am dealing with but..... Gavin is now just under 10 lbs and is 21" long. He was finally able to get his immunization shots which couldnt be administered until he weighed 8.5 lbs. Now we can hang out more often. New pics on the link a few posts up. Hope you all have a great New Year
Squidley Posted January 1, 2013 #24 Posted January 1, 2013 He's filling out nicely, great news to hear there Grandpa
