Its been over 2 weeks since I posted. It all seems like a blur.. I was having my fetal monitoring done and LOs heart rate started to dip. Next thing I know I'm told not to eat and taken to my hospital.

I was further monitored for 6 hours before allowed to go home only to have to come in again the next morning. I didnt think anything of it. I went back 9am the next morning and again his heart rate was dipping so they wheeled me in for an emergency c section.

Dreas George Dyett was born 8th March at 5:34pm weighing 5lbs 14 oz.

He was perfect. He came out and cried for a little before they placed him on my chest. He was born with a full head of black hair and once in recovery he had his first breast feed.... only to have him being taken to special care nursery and put on a c pap machine and in an incubator because his oxygen levels were dropping. It was heartbreaking to see but he is such a little fighter. He was taken off everything after 3 days then developed mild jaundice and was under the blue lights for a day.

He was in special care nursery for a week before being discharged. Ive been home with him over a week now and we are doing great. He is breastfeeding like a champ and I am loving every single moment, cracked nipples and all.

First 3 days...

Congratulations :) he's gorgeous
 
He is so perfect! Congratulations! All of that must have been terrifying, but he looks so strong! Glad he didn't have to stay in special care for long and is home now. :)
 
Aww congratulations, he is so lovely! <3
Sorry it all went a bit fast for you, but you clearly both coped so well and I'm glad you're loving it! :dance:
 
What a handsome little guy! And such a good weight to be early!

I can't help but laugh at the unexpectedly accurate username "surprisepg". It started at "surprise! I'm in here!" To "surprise! Here I come!"
 
aww is absolutely beautiful...congratulations xxx
 
Congratulations! Glad eveything turned out okay for you and your little one!
