Here's the update from KK! Please keep those positive vibes coming for Baby Dragonfly's surgery tomorrow!
"Baby arrived today at 1:01. He came out screaming. he weighs 7lb, 4oz. His apgar was 9. He has a head full of crazy black hair. He is in the NICU. I have only been able to see him once. He looks great. He is having surgery tomorrow at 12. He can move legs, curl toes, and move his butt which all point to a very mild case of SB. I'm very encouraged. DD met him and sang him twinkle twinkle little star. I pumped and got a lot of colostrum.
I cant wait to hold him. I'll post a picture tomorrow. Thank you everyone for the prayers and good wishes."
**Warning: Losses and living child mentioned** BFP#1 1/31/12, EDD 10/6/12 Harrison Gray born sleeping @ 18w6d. You changed our lives little guy. BFP#2 EDD 10/29/13, C/P 2/25/13, Bye little Ish, we barely got to know you. BFP#3 EDD 12/21/13, Baby Boots born 11/23/13Myrainbowbaby!
