Hudson Zane Smith

The baby came thursday night (Sept. 9th) at 7:12 pm. They had to do an emergency c section due to high blood pressure and a failing placenta. He came two months early, but was already 4 weeks behind in growth due to Preclampsia. Rach is doing good, Hudson Zane Smith is struggling a little bit. He was 2 lbs, 14 oz and 15 in long. His lungs weren't fully developed, even with the steriods, but they helped greatly.

He's a cute little bugger and he's fighting hard.
