Austin Clayton (birth story)

 
Our first bundle of joy (who is now 4) -Austin Clayton- was born on September 16, 2008 at 8:01am. He weighed in at 6 pounds 0.6 oz. From the start, he was stubborn like his daddy. He was breech and wouldn't turn around so he was delivered via c-section at 37 weeks. When he was born he was having some breathing issues, what the doctors called "wimpy white boy syndrome".
(his lungs weren't fully developed yet and this seems to effect little white males more that any other baby). They gave him steroids for his lungs and he was on a ventilator in the NICU for 3 days.
