Garrett William Braswell
William is after my Grandpa John William Huffines
One of the greatest men I have ever known and someone we love dearly.

8.8lb and 20in

Garrett had some breathing problems when he was first born and he spent the first four days of his life in the NICU. I didn't get to see him until I was released from the hospital on Sunday. I was released at 10:30am and then Garrett was released from the NICU at 2:45pm. It was a great reunion. This was the first time I got to hold him and really even look at him. I saw him after the c-section when they were stitching me up. The nurse held him up to my face and I gave him a kiss, then they whisked him away. He had an exciting entry into this life, how many kids get to ride in an ambulance before they are even five hours old? Garrett you rock!

He is doing wonderful now. We are all home and happy. Garrett is loving life. He hasn't had any problems transitioning from IV feedings, to bottles, to nursing. His breathing is fine now and he doesn't have an infection like the doctors originally feared. He is a very happy and sleepy baby. I have yet to hear him cry. He sleeps all day and all night. He wakes up only for food and even that he sleeps through. He is a joy we just couldn't live without!
