Introducing Tanner Justen Watkins


Wow! What an insane Christmas we've had this year. It all started Monday December 20th when my water broke. I had no idea that I was slowly going into labor. The next few days they tried to stop labor because I was only 32 weeks along. However the little man wanted to come. He made his first appearance on Wednesday December 22nd, 2010 at 3:36PM. He weighed 4 lbs. 8 oz. and was 17 1/2 inches long. Because he was so early he is living in the NICU. It has been hard to see him hooked up to machines and not being able to come home. However he is doing fabulous! He has been able to breathe on his own and is making HUGE milestones. Currently we are working on getting him to feed and gain weight. Thanks to all our family and friends for the love, support, and prayers; the three of us deeply appreciate it! We are already in love with our little boy and can't wait for him to get home!
