Eastons First Video


Easton Davis Langford was born on Sept 25th 2008.

13 inches long

2 Pounds 1.5 Ounces

His Due date was for November 30th 2008. He started slowing down in growth and from our last appointment was 3 weeks behind. After the in depth ultra sound we found that he only had 2 vessels in his cord instead of 3. Also the fluids were really low which made the Dr very concerned. We started doing Dr. visits every week which included a stress test and doppler test. Every week Easton was passing the doppler test. Meaning the blood was flowing well through the umbilical cord. He wasn't doing the greatest on the stress test. Then we started seeing the Doc twice a week. Monday he Failed the stress test but still had good blood flow. Then Thursday morning we came in and didn't do well on the doppler either. We are so grateful to have a doctor that has ultrasound equipment in each one of his rooms. So every single appt. he is able to do all of these tests and get great pictures and record everything on a DVD for us. His name is Jed Naisbitt at the Circle of Life clinic in South Ogden. He delivered Dylan as well. If it wasn't for Jeds persistence and care for Easton and Teisha we would have been looking at a still born. Anyways, Jed wanted us to come to Ogden Regional and do one more test. They hooked Teisha on an IV and made her have contractions. Well Eastons heart rate would drop. So they scheduled a C- Section at 2 o clock. 2:08 he was born and Teisha was back in her room 15 mins later. And no I did not look past the shield. I'm not dumb. I actually was shaking worse then Teisha. It just all came so fast. That morning was suppose to be a 20 min drs appt. Not the beginning of living at the hospital for the next 2 months.

I have some many mixed feeling about the nicu but without them Dawson wouldn't be here at all. He was 6 weeks early so hang in there it will all be memory and you will be home soon enough! I did not take enough pics of Dawson with his nurse who took care of him most of the time you might want to do that.

I love COLWC, that's where I've gone with all my babies. Iwent to Darin Housel, and I also love all the technology and precautions there. Easton is so precious! The NICU seems like a never ending battle, but one day your lives will be normal, and you'll all be home. That's the best when you have all of your kids in the same place!! If you need ANYTHING let me know, you will be in our prayers!

Hey guys...your family is in our prayers. We had so much fun at the circus, watching Kylies' face was so adorable. Thank goodness for grandparents. Teish, let me know how I can help you. Can't wait to meet the little guy. He is a fighter already. He would have to be, entering this world at two pounds. He will be home before you know it!!
