My baby girl was born earlier this week. She weighed 5lbs, 17 inches and has a head full of hair
I can't get over how beautiful she is!
I went into labor at 35 weeks and Drs worked hard to stop it. My water ended up breaking and it was chaos from there on. I don't remember much of it, it was traumatizing. The epidural did not take, I was in labor for a couple days, ended up with placenta abruption and baby's heart rate dropped.
My little girl entered the world and I barely got to see what she looked like. She was immediately transferred to NICU, sedated and placed on a ventilator. Her lungs were developed about as much as a 32 week old baby. She had IVs and tubes everywhere. I wasn't allowed to hold her and she was allowed no visitors.
Its now been 5 days and she is doing wonderful
her breathing is 100% and she is off all IVs and hungry all the time! She was bottle feeding great yesterday. Today she is under a black light for jaundice and feeding tube was was put back in due too them not wanting anyone to touch her under the light. They put me on a crazy pumping schedule 24/7, which I hate, but I seem to have no problem with milk supply. I am like a cow and could feed a couple baby's!
The NICU is a terrifying place and going back and forth is exhausting. I can't wait to take my princess home!!!!
