I copied this from what I posted on Stacey's blog:
Simon Mathew Gilday has made his entrance and a special appearance in Nashville! He was born at 4:21 pm today weighing in at 4 lbs 7 oz and 18 inches long. This is Stacey's twin sister Natalie by the way. I'm posting for Stacey because she is in the hospital with her new baby-son. She is exactly 35 weeks today, so he came a little early. They took him straight to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) for observation and to make sure he's okay, but so far so good. =) Little trooper. I'm told he has a lot of dark hair, Matt's nose, long feet, dark eyes, and is "teeny teeny tiny". He nursed wonderfully tonight; latched right on and no problem sucking, so that's a good sign. No idea how long he will be in there but I'll try to keep you all posted while Matt and Stacey enjoy their new-found roles as parents. I also don't have a picture at this time but that too will come. =) Fairly easy labor: started having contractions last night and went to work this morning for a couple hours before deciding she needed to go to the hospital. Then she went from being dilated from a 3 to pushing out baby in about less than 6 hours with an epidural. She said it was pretty "easy": couple pushes and the doctor did the rest pulling baby out. I'm so proud of Stacey and thrilled for her and Matt and already in love with my new nephew Simon. Love you Simon!
So proud Aunt Natalie here is leaving in two days to go meet baby Simon in Nashville. I'll disappear with my main-little-squeeze Port-Port and be gone for 2 1/2 weeks. We are really going to miss Daddy (Aaron) but we will be back and then together for eternity. Keeping things in perspective. =P Here are a few pictures of Simon and my sister Stacey and husband Matt.
Here are some pictures my brother-in-law Matt sent by e-mail. I can't believe how incredibly precious and non-fetal looking my new nephew Simon is; he is one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen. I didn't know a preemie could look that normal and perfect. The funniest thing (I think--won't be so funny to his parents who have to pay the diaper bills) they've learned about Simon is he HATES wet diapers. Several times he has been super fussy and won't eat and won't calm down...then they change his wet diaper...baby is fine and happy. Poor parents!!! Told Stacey she needs to buy some stock in diapers 'cause they will be using their fair share! =) Simon is regulating his temperature well and his blood work came back good: bilirubin is normal (that was Porter's biggest obstacle for 3 months) and he is not anemic. His only issue is he had a high blood count so they gave him an IV to thin out his blood. All-in-all Simon is doing great and Mom is the new milking machine! It's feeding, pumping, sleeping and eating for Stacey! What a great, wonderful, perfect, beautiful new mom.
