Carter Vaughn DuBroc officially joined the DuBroc Family on the 21st of December and we are so excited that he is finally here! Carter was 9 pounds and was 21 1/4 inches long and came after a very long labor. Carter had to go to the NICU for a few days because he had a pneumothorax, which means that there was air outside of his lung that kept his lung from expanding fully. The doctors told us that the pneumothorax is not uncommon, but we were pretty scared. Carter recovered very well and we visited him for every feeding while he could not stay with us. The hospital let us stay an extra day with Carter in our own room and then he was discharged to go home on Christmas Eve. We could not have asked for a better Christmas present: Carter was deemed healthy and we got to take him home before Christmas. Though we did not leave the house for the holidays, we had the best Christmas!
