*%* Miracles In The Making 2015 *%*

Hey all~

Sorry for the long delay - things are pretty hectic. Oliver Max was born at 5:27pm on April 7th. He was 5 weeks early and 5lbs 13 ounces and 17.5 inches at birth. My water broke in the middle of the night and they ended up needing to give me Pitocin to get the contractions progressing. I made it about 4 hours after the Pitocin before I got the epidural – best decision ever! I delivered 3 hours later after about 30 minutes of pushing.

Oliver needed to go into the NICU and stayed there for 8 nights. (The hospital let me stay in an extra bed after my discharge so I could continue to breastfeed throughout the night). My days consisted of 3 hour incriments – go to the NICU – breastfeed for about 20-30 minutes (they didn’t want me to tire him out too much), give Oliver a bottle with breastmilk and spend a little time with him. Go back to my room to pump for 20 minutes and maybe have about an hour to 1.5 hours to eat, sleep or do anything – so pretty much no time at all.

Now that we are home, things are a bit better but I am still breastfeeding and pumping, but he sometimes goes 4 hours between feedings. I am totally in love!

Here are a couple of pics!

Hope all is well with everyone else!

Beautiful pics and gorgeous boy....Was wondering when you were going to stick your head in....glad to hear things are going well xx
 
So went to dr. I'm now 3cm but still no real labor. So if she isn't here by next Thursday, they'll schedule a csection. Due to previous c section, I can't be induced😟. So just a darn waiting game! I'm due Saturday.
 
Hey guys!! Had my little girl may 8. She was 8lbs, 2oz. I also had my vbac birth no csection.
 
Here is my bundle of joy. 5/8/15

I know most of you have had your little ones by now and I wanted to congratulate each of you. Are there any of us still waiting?
