 I thought i would post this here since a lot of you have responsed in the other forums and that way it would be easier to update my fellow military bumpies.  :)

Long story short I had our baby Caiden Campbell Sunday at 8:36pm via emergency c section after 20 hours of labor.

He was born cryingg and i saw him once he was cleaned and then he went into the nursery with my mom.  (DH is deployed)  He was 9 pounds 5 oz and 21 1/2 inches long.  Hes got BIG feet and long fingers and toes.  In the nursery he was breathing fast so they put him on oxygen.  They gave him a chest xray to discover that he has a hole in his diaphragm and some of his intestines are going in the hole.  :( its a very serious condition.  He was sent to the NICU and then a couple hours later he got transfered to childrens hospital in Orange County where he will be getting surgery probbaly on wednesday.  Hes doing well right now so thats a good sign but i was told that some babies dont make it.  I was able to sit by him for an hour before he got transfered.  I have yet to hold him though. 

Once i get discharged my mom and i will be able to stay at the ronald mcdonald house that only a couple blocks away.

 Update from original post...Hubby is coming in today from Afghan on E Leave and Caidens surgery is scheduled for today.
