James Donovan H is here!!

in Washington Babies

A lot of you have seen on FB, but I wanted to post here, too. :-) James arrived at 12:23pm today, weighing 7 lb 15 oz (a little smaller than expected) and 19 inches long.

It was a kind of dramatic morning, as I was officially diagnosed with pre-eclampsia before the delivery.  Extra labs were ordered, delaying the c/s.  After getting my spinal, James' HB plummeted and the OB had to get him out quickly.  (TMI- I now have both a vertical [external] and transverse [internal] cut.)  Baby came through it all with flying colors and doing great!  I'm recovering pretty well, just incision site pain and some dizziness.  I'm on magnesium until tomorrow afternoon.  James has nursed a few of times and never left my sight once! :-)

They're coming to bathe him soon and then we'll try nursing again.  Thank you all for the awesome wishes, both here and on FB!  I can't believe I'm finally a Mommy and so in love with that little boy, already!! :-)

    Congrats again Mama!  Sounds like Little James wanted a more exciting and dramatic delivery then a scheduled c/s, glad your both doing well.  Get rest and cuddle that little cutie.

    wow that is some drama!  I'm glad he's ok and you're ok too!  I hope your healing goes well - I can't even wrap my head around how they'd do that incision like that...
