Nixon Scott Bennion

Nixon was born Monday, February 16th at 11:38 PM. He weighed in at a chunky 8 lbs. 5 oz, 20 inches long, and has a full head of hair.


After he was born I only got to old him for a few seconds before he was rushed to the NICU.

He was in the NICU hooked up to a machine that helped him to breathe for an hour and then they watched him for another 30 minutes and everything seemed to be okay. So they took him down to the well-baby nursery. However, he continued to have apnia and would stop breathing for no reason. They decided to take him back up to the NICU where he spent the remainder of his hospital visit where he could be closely monitored and they could run all kinds of tests to see what was wrong.

I'm glad that he is home now. Hopefully his apnia problems get better so that everyone can get some good rest and not have to worry about him. He is adorable. I'm excited to see him in person... someday.
