JUNE 21st, 2006!! IT'S A BOY!!
DEVRAS JACOB CHRISTOPHER WAS BORN 6/21/06. HE WEIGHED 8 LBS 1.4 OZ, 20 INC LONG!
I HAD TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY C-SECT, BECAUSE AFTER THE EPIDERAL, HE WENT INTO FETAL DISTRESS. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MICONIAM WAS PRESENT IN THE FLUID.
AFTER HIS BIRTH, HE WAS TAKEN AWAY BECAUSE HE HAD WET LUNG, WHICH IS COMMON TO C-SECT BABIES, AND JUST COULDN'T REGULATE HIS TEMP ON HIS OWN. HE SPENT THE FIRST 2 OR 3 NIGHTS IN NICU, THEN, CAME DOWN WITH A MODERATE CASE OF JAUNDICE, AND ONCE HE WAS ABLE TO COME INTO MY ROOM, HE HAD TO BE UNDER THE BILI LIGHTS FOR THE NEXT 24-48 HRS. IT WAS SOOO HARD ON US, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE WE NEVER COULD HOLD OUR SON.
FINALLY....AFTER 5 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL....WE CAME HOME!!!
FINALLY HOME!
DEVRAS' DAD AND I WERE YOUR NORMAL NEW PARENTS, ADJUSTING TO LIFE WITH A NEWBORN. WE HAD EVERYTHING READY AT HOME YOU NEEDED FOR A BABY....THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED, WAS HE JUST COULD NOT "LATCH ON", AND I ENDED UP PUMPING MILK AND GIVING IT TO HIM VIA BOTTLE. THAT WAS NO BIGGIE...I PUMPED ALL I COULD UNTIL HE WAS 6 WEEKS.
