hi all, just wanted to share that my little one arrived early on wednesday!
i went to my weekly appointment on monday morning and just got home from the hospital today. my blood pressure was high so i was sent for labs and monitoring. dr recommended an induction which we started on monday night. things went very slowly until i basically stopped making progress and dr then recommended a c-section. baby was born on wednesday morning at 5:30. not exactly what i thought would happen, but we are happy and thrilled none the less.
team green turned into team blue! he was 7 pounds, 14 ounces, 20.5 inches long and super adorable! we just got home today, i never thought going to my monday appt that i would be staying there and coming home saturday with a newborn, kinda crazy! DH had to pack my bag over the phone monday night, ha. oh well. things are going well so far. nights are rough, but we expected that. hoping that it will be a bit easier tonight in our own place and with our own things/stuff around us. breastfeeding is also going great, my milk came in over night and he's learning right along with me.
Wow. What a surprise to go to your OB appointment and come home from the hospital five days later! Glad y'all are both doing well. He is beautiful!
yeah, that's for sure! even my ob was kind of surprised! she sent me monday saying 'this will probably turn into nothing, but i want you to head over, spend an hour or two there, get monitored, and you'll probably be back home tonight." then a different doc handled me there and started the induction. the doc from monday was on call on tuesday into wed and when she came to see me tuesday morning said, "i'm surprised you're here - i really thought you would get sent home!". she ended up being the one to do the c section though and be with us all day/night so i'm glad since i've seen her through most of my pregnancy.
