Cole Hazen Baldwin

Cole Hazen Baldwin was born at 12:33 this morning (10/16/2007) to Gene and Betty. he weighs 5 lb. 2 oz., and is about 18 inches tall.

Cole was born on his great-grandparents' anniversary, Hazen and Guila Olsen. It's very fitting that he shares a special date with his name-sake.

He was born about 6 weeks early. Right after he was born they took him in the back, cleaned him up, and put tubes into his lungs to help him breathe, and in his stomach to feed him. They say that they are generally released on their due date, but he could be released sooner. When he can maintain his own body temperature and eat on his own he'll be able to go home.

Betty is doing well. She will be released today.

Cole's first ride was in a brand new ambulance. Sydney was a little jealous.

Cole will be staying in the University Hospital in Salt Lake City, wich is right next to Primary Phildren's Hospital.

I'll be posting more on Cole. Check back for news!
