Baby boy (no name yet) was born Feb 11 at 9:27 pm weighing 8lbs 4 Oz. He was a bit early at 36+5 but came out hollering (and peed on everyone). He had some trouble keeping his O2 sats up so he spent the night in NICU on oxygen. He did really well and was able to join us in our room early this morning. He’s been a sleepy nugget since and I’m recovering really well so far. My girls FaceTimed us this morning and they’re super excited to meet him. Longer version of events: My Monday NST started around 1pm and like previous times, Baby was having a really long tachycardia episode. After about 3 hours he finally settled down.... but my uterus decided it wanted some attention and a lot of strong contractions had picked up, meeting the 5-1-1 criteria. I stayed on the monitors for a few more hours and was pretty uncomfortable no matter what we tried to ease them off. Soon they were 3-1-1, then 2-1-1, and when I got up to pee my water broke. Things went from “hmm maybe” to “how soon can your husband get here?” MH got to the hospital around 7 pm, and I was being wheeled into the OR by 8:20. The c-section was unremarkable until MH fainted (he saw more than he’s used to when they told him to stand up and take pictures), but he was able to give warning so they rushed him to a bed.
I just took meds so I’m about to conk out again. PDQ pics:

Thank you guys! How is this even possible, feels like we were just holding each other’s hands through first tri... I’m so in love and the nurses are teasing me that I’m just holding him and staring non stop ☺️

How are things going today Tlex? Pretty good, thank you! Got a decent amount of sleep pieced together last night and this morning, and I just had my first shower which I’m sure you know is transformative! My girls are supposed to come visit with MIL this afternoon and I can’t wait to see them/introduce their brother. I’ve been really frustrated with the nurses here not giving me access to formula in a timely fashion, after 25 mins of serious fussing while we wait for them to bring it he’s too tired to feed properly. And if I try to ask for it early, they say it’s too soon to feed him. That’s not cool, but especially when he’s at high risk for jaundice. I just vented to the doctor and she said she’d speak to them and it’s an ongoing issue they’re having with this unit. I am used to being given formula to keep on my nightstand to give as needed (and while breastfeeding no less!) so to be EFF and having a hard time getting my hands on what he needs is making me pretty upset. I would have brought my own supplies if I’d thought this would be any kind of issue. /whew vent

My sister went through the same thing when she was in the hospital with her 3 EFF babies. I hope you get extra formula soon so you don’t have to worry about that.

Thinking of you today Tlex. Hoping you get the formula sorted out, asap. That sounds frustrating. By the way I love his name. As far as that first shower, my gosh they could have told me it was going to be $500 added to my hospital bill and it would have been worth it. It was amazing.

I just had to post stalk! Love his name and the bonus picture 😍
Seriously seriously adorable.
I’m sorry you’re having a hard time with access to formula. That blows my mind. I hope the doctor talking to them changes that. If not could your mil bring some with her?
