Boady Leland Baker
Cale Gary Baker
Cale Gary Baker and Boady Leland Baker made their way into this world on Saturday December 29th 2007 at approximately 5:30 pm by c-section. Cale was baby A, he weighed 5 lbs and 7 oz and was 19 1/2 in long and he came into the world with a low blood pressure. He gave us a good scare because he was as white as a ghost. The doctors stabilized him in the OR and then took him down to the NICU to be observed and stabilize his blood pressure. Boady was baby B, he weighed 4 lb 15 oz, and was 18 in long. They both screamed a lot and that sure made me feel good hearing that. The c-section itself took about 45 minutes probably and then they took me to our recovery room which was our regular room. Brad spent a lot of time ushering between babies and me. Boady was able to come right down to the room with us. Cale was stuck in the NICU for a few days until he could stabilize hat blood pressure. They started him on Dopamine at 1 mg and have been tittering him down over the last few days. The boys are adorable. I love them both. We are able to hold Cale several times a day and can visit him anytime that there is not an emergency in the NICU. The doctors are 99% sure that the boys are identical. I believe them. They look a lot alike. When we were able to put them together for just a very short while to get some pictures while Cale was doing well.
They went from screaming to content in nothing flat. Hopefully they will keep that up until they are 18! It was sweet because they sucked on each other's faces and even though they were both flailing their arms, it didn't seem to bother the other one at all. It is truly amazing. Boady and I are staying one more night at the hospital and I will update on Cale's status as soon as possible.
