Nathaniel Sidney Jensen was born on July 16th, 2008 at 7:51 PM. Weighing in at 5 lb 6 oz and measuring 18 inches. Nathan came to us in a bit of scare, as Linda's doctor began to notice that Nathan had not been growing during the last few weeks before the birth. Due to his concerns he referred Linda to a peri-natologist for evaluation. The specialist came to the conclusion that there was some kind of defect with the Placenta, although Nathan seemed to be doing OK (moving, good blood flow, heart rate, etc.), he was measuring about 4 weeks behind schedule. Due to the two doctor's concerns, they reccommended early delivery so that Nathan could get the care and nutrition he needed to continue to grow and develop. On other problem was noted, he was Breech. Therefore, they admitted Linda for a C-section and we were relieved that Nathan was born without complication. The doctor's suspicions were confirmed, as there was a defect in the placenta. Both Nathan and Linda are doing great!
