The Stork Has Landed January 11, 2007
The big day has finally arrived! Adam Daniel was born last night at 9:44 pm. He weighs 6 pounds, 10 ounces, and is 19 inches long. He gave us quite a scare by being reluctant to start breathing after being born, but he got going after a bit of stimulation. He also had some trouble maintaining his breathing in the transition nursery, and so he spent the night in the Level II NICU under observation. He did a great job overnight, though, and we spent some time with him there at 4:30 and again at 6:00 this morning. He is now in the room with us and doing great, although very sleepy after all that hard work.

CONGRATS!!!!! . . . thanks for posting the update!
I’m so happy for you. I was getting nervous when no updates were posted. So relieved all is well. And my son came out blue too, so I can relate to how scary that was. It felt like years before we heard him cry. Thank God he is okay. How is Amanda doing?
Oh My God I am crying - congratulations to you both. How is Amanda??
Beautiful name, by the way - I love the name Adam!
Congratulations again - I couldn’t be happier!

Congratulations! So happy for your family.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! So very relieved to hear from you Dan. Thank you for updating us and please continue to as we are all so very excited. Give our love to Amanda!
I am so relieved to hear that Adam has arrived! Every time I woke up and was feeding Benjamin, all I could think of was you and was hoping and praying you were feeding your son too. I’m sorry about the slight scare, but I hope all is well now. I can’t wait to meet him.
What great news! I am glad to hear that Adam is doing well. I hope that mom is recovering and that you are all home safe and sound in the next day or two.

YAY!!! Congratulations! Thanks for updating us!
Congratulations Amanda & Dan! Not sure you remember me, but I started out with the IVFriends group a couple of years ago. I still follow along to see how you all are doing and say prayers for all of you.
I’m so excited for you Amanda, I can’t stand it. There’s just something about holding a baby after trying for so freakin’ long… it’s indescribable. You will be a wonderful, caring, warm mother to your son, Adam. Cherish every moment, every movement, every frustration, every tear of joy, every tear of fear, every tear of love. I am thinking of you and your wonderful little family.
Congratulations! I am so happy for both of you. Enjoy all of it, you deserve every moment of happiness this brings.
Congratulations Amanda and Dan, What a wonderful bundle of joy to start the year.
Yay! Welcome to the world Adam Daniel! What a great name, by the way. Glad to hear that he’s here and safe, and I can’t wait to read the whole story when you’re up to it!
Wheee! Congratulations, Amanda and Dan and welcome, little Adam! Sounds like you guys had some scary moments, but I’m so relieved that all is well now. Can’t wait to here more!
If you don’t have it already, I cannot recommend highly enough the Angel Care monitor for when you bring him home, so you don’t have to keep checking to see if he’s still breathing!
De-lurking to say Congrats! You worked so hard to get Adam here and I am thrilled to know you are all doing well. Get some rest!
Congratulations to all three of you, and welcome to the world, Adam!
Sorry the beginning was so scary.
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Welcome, Adam Daniel!
Congrats to Mom and Dad - you sure worked hard to get here, and i hope every day is better than the next!
(Adam - very naughty to scare Mom & Dad like that, please behave now!).
yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay!!!!!
Thanks g-d. I’m so happy he’s here and he’s healthy. I’ve been following Dan’s updates on “Adventures”. I can’t wait to see you relax at home.

Congratulations - what wonderful news! Welcome to the world, baby Adam.
Oh, what wonderful news to read here and to start the morning with. Of course Adam would have to give you one more harrowing story before you knew everything would settle into all the wonderful, absolutely amazing stuff that has happened to you and to his arrival into the wide open world. But I’m so glad he’s taking full breaths of the air out here and has joined us safely and happily. And I know how very much all of this means, after all you’ve endured, and that this is not the end to your story, but a very new beginning.
Congratulations to the whole family!
