Sorry for the delay. But here he is.....
Lucas Matthew
March 8th @ 1:41 am
6 lbs. 8 oz.
So I was set to be induced on March 9th. Well, the Saturday prior, I started having contractions. They seemed to get intense, and then just stopped. So I had a wedding that evening and decided to go so maybe it would start things up again. So I went, started having contractions again, and then they died out. A few more here and there through Sunday and Monday, but nothing consistent. So hubby's birthday was on Monday, we went to dinner, contractions started again and kept getting worse. Went to the hospital about 11 pm, and less than 3 hours later, Lucas was here! (and thankfully, so was the epidural)
So after he was born, they tested his blood sugar and found that he was hypoglycemic. It happens, but he had to go to the NICU to be monitored. Once they evened out his sugars, he should have been able to come home Friday, but he had something called a "desat"...which is an oxygen dip. This happens with babies as well, but it was because he was gagging on a pacifier at the time (it was overnight when I wasn't there) and it automatically becomes a 72 hour hold. So on Monday, he was finally discharged and able to come home. That is why it took me so long to post, long hours at the hospital and very little WiFi.
Thank you for the well-wishes everyone!
