What a month!
The Gladdens have been busy the past month! On Friday, May 1st, I (Erin) found out I had HELLP Syndrome. The only cure for HELLP is delivery of the baby, and the doctors decided it was time for us to meet our love bug. I was induced four weeks before my due date, and Alexander Orion Gladden was born Saturday, May 2nd at 7:30 AM. Needless to say the journey has not been easy, but almost a month later we are thrilled to have a healthy little boy who is growing daily. Alexander weighed 4 pounds 14 ounces at birth and spent six days in the NICU. He was only a tiny 4 pounds 6 ounces when we brought him home. Our tough little guy is just over 6 pounds now. Our family and friends have shown amazing support along the way, and we feel truly blessed.
