I was born in Irving, Texas on a Friday to parents who had yet to have the nursery ready. To say they were unprepared for my much anticipated arrival is an understatement, but here I am! At birth I weighed 1 pound 8 ounces and I was 12.25 inches in length. The doctors warned my parents of the problems that can occur with a micro-preemie, but they knew I was in God's hands, so at 12:16 am I came into the world via c-section. Despite the dire warnings the doctors report that I had good muscle tone and gave a small cry as I entered the world. My apgar scores at birth were 6 and 8 respectively. Once I was stabilized I was transported to another hospital that has a level 3 NICU.
Wow! Apgar scores of 6/8 are very rare for 24 weeks and the effort to make a small cry, amazing. What a strong boy Maxwell is! Our God is awesome, prayers go out for you, Max, and your loving parents. I can't wait to meet you.

I am so thrilled to read that Maxwell cried on his own when he was born. I remember hearing that cry when Rob was born and knowing it was God that breathed that breathe of life into Rob. It gave me such peace. That is such great news for Maxwell. We have lots of California brothers and sisters praying for you guys. Love, Danna
