Well, Ashton decided he couldn't wait til his late november C-section was scheduled to make his debut. He arrived Wed Oct 10th at 7:36am via emergency c/s. He weighed in at a whopping 5lbs 10oz at 32w3d. He is adorable. Blonde hair, even blonder than Carter was at birth.
Ashton is on a c-pap to help his breathing by keeping his lungs inflated, but he is not receiving any oxygen, so he is breathing on his own. He in on a sugar/water iv as needed because his blood sugars have been a bit wacky. He is taking food via the mouth (about 3ml every 3 hrs). I am working at pumping every 3 hrs to get some milk for him, but it's slow going, although the colestrum is starting to come now.
Mom is in a fair bit of pain and since I am allergic to codeine, I am on Percocet every 4hrs and morphine as needed. It is definitely much easier to move about today than yesterday. The drugs make me very tired though, so I have to rest alot.
I'll post a full birth story when I get a chance. Just wanted to thank you all for your T&P and ask for continued prayers for Ashton to continue to grow and improve so he can get out of this nicu soon and transferred to the nicu at home, if he can't come home directly.
Re: Baby Ashton is here!
Welcome Baby Ashton!
Sending thoughts and prayers your way for a smooth recovery and to dear, sweet Ashton that he is able to come home soon.

“So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I’m still young? I wanna hold her hand and show her some beauty before all this damage is done. But if it’s too much to ask, it’s too much to ask … Then send me a son.” – Arcade Fire
