Update, PIP Alexander wanted to be an April baby! (eadams08)

middleschoolmommy · April 2014

Alexander Kenneth was born at 10:01AM this morning after 8 hours of labor and pushing through 4 contractions, 4/27 at 29 weeks 2days. He was 3lbs and 2oz. He is doing better than the doctors and nurses expected, but he still has a long NICU stay ahead of him. He was breathing on his own, but having to work a little to hard at it. He was transferred to a bigger hospital with a bigger NICU a few hours later. I'm on track to be discharged in the morning so I can go see my little man. All I have heard is good new so far, so any thoughts and prayers for good new to continue are welcome!

**Update**
Great news from the NICU! They will be attempting to remove his breathing tube tonight AND will be feeding him! Originally they were saying he wouldn't get fed or a day or so, but they let DH sign a release for donor breast milk

Praying I get discharged sooner rather than later tomorrow so I can go see my baby boy.
