Imagine my surprise when I had a very unexpected FO for this week's FO Friday.
Presenting my latest FO: Stormageddon!
George Eugene decided he didn't want to wait anymore and this past Tuesday morning, my water broke at 37 weeks. I didn't know that's what happened. I had a full day planned! Husband was going to take Little Man to work with him and I had things to do...laundry, dishes, cleaning. Yeah, none of that happened.
Initially, my water broke at 4am but I just thought I had lost bladder control. So I went back to sleep. After they left for San Francisco, I started laundry, decided to dye my hair, and once I was out of the shower, I was walking from the bathroom to the closet to get socks when I had a big WHOOSH. A call to my OB later and Husband was on his way home from work to take me to the hospital. A couple tests and monitors later, around 3pm, we were told that yes, my water had broken and we were having a baby today.
So, this little stinker came via c-section at 5:04pm on Tuesday, September 2, 2014. He came out screaming his fool head off and didn't stop until he was swaddled.
Unfortunately, he does have a bit of jaundice so last night, this was his environment:
He wasn't exactly happy at that point but he did well with the supplementation.
We're supposed to go home from the hospital tomorrow. Just in time for my Sunday update :)
I hope you're all having a lovely Friday :)
Oh my, CONGRATULATIONS! How precious! My first was 3.5 wks. early and was perfect, just everything in miniature (5 lbs. 12 oz.) Small babies stay small longer, which I loved.
ReplyDeleteIf you're planning to breastfeed, don't let the jaundice dissuade you. Or the nurses. Or the doctors. Ask for a lactation specialist and she will help you immensely.
Enjoy this special time - it doesn't last long. Such a happy post! YEAH!
Everyone is encouraging the breast feeding (California...). I'm trying and it's okay so here's to hoping.
DeleteHo'omaka'i!!! Yay! Baby George is here. Glad everything went well despite his early arrival. *hug*
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised it went as well as it did!
