My water broke around 7:30 this morning, so we're heading to the hospital now. Funny thing is that today is my oldest stepdaughters birthday and since I'm having a c section, they will end up sharing a birthday. Another funny thing is that my husband and his sister also share a birthday. It'll be a cool similarity for them to have.  Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |

He's here! We welcomed Grayson Alexander Hall at 12:09 and he weighed 6lbs 1oz and measured 20". He's a tiny little thing and doing really well. He was breach and got a little bruised up while being pulled out. I'm in some pain but I'm trying not to take any more meds at this point because of the itchiness and nausea. The whole process went pretty smooth. We got to the hospital around 10 and we were in the OR right around 11:30. The worst part so far has been getting the IV. The needle is huge and very painful. Hopefully it can be removed by tomorrow because it's really limiting the use of my hand, which has made breast feeding a little challenging. He does have a tongue tie but it doesn't seem to be an issue at this point so we'll see how that continues.   Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |

Thank you everyone! We're doing good so far and looks like we'll be able to go home tomorrow, but most likely later in the day since he will be getting circumcised and they'll want to monitor him for a few hours before releasing us.
Little one gave us our first real scare this morning. He had a lot of amniotic fluid in his belly and was having a hard time spitting it up. He started choking and couldn't breath. The nurse rushed in and was able to get him to breath, but he ended up swallowing the fluid again. We went with her recommendation of sucking the fluid out of his tummy with a tube and I'm so glad we did because he ended up having 12ml of amniotic fluid in his tummy and it was super thick, so he wouldn't have been able to get it out on his own. He also wasn't eating well because his tummy was full, but now he's doing better.
We are having some trouble with breastfeeding because he has a tongue tie, but we're working through it. I'll definitely address it with the pedi at our appt on Monday. I've been pumping after feedings to hopefully help my supply come in faster. Hoping it'll come in by Monday or Tuesday.
My pain has been manageable, but I'm not loving taking all these pain meds. I'm so drugged up all the time and they're making me constipated. I'm taking a laxative, but it hasn't helped so far. Having to push after a c section is not my idea of a good time.

mrshall1027 That's scary! Glad they were able to get the fluid out. Hope you can taper off the meds soon and all is smooth sailing from there.

mrshall1027 how scary! I didn't even know that was possible, but I'm glad they knew what to do to get the fluid out!

I'm glad the nurse knew how to get the fluid out! Poor kiddo- swallowing all that and not knowing how to get it out is just awful! Glad it's done now, gavaging the stomach is not fun but at least it's all cleaned out and he can have an empty tummy ready for feedings!! hope you get some good rest tonight and can wean off the meds and can poop easily soon  |
