Grant was born at 12:54p today, at 8lb 4oz!

I was woken up by contractions around 4am and started timing. They were ranging 6-10min apart for about 2 hours, then they started getting more painful. I woke H up around 6 and at 7 I quickly went to 2.5-3.5 minutes apart.

Headed to the hospital around 9 when my contractions were lasting about a minute. Checked in at 4 cm, labored and cursed until I got my epi at 6-7cm, then got a brief reprieve. My contractions were pretty back to back and after maybe 30 min I started feeling painful pressure with each. Really painful. Next time the doc came in I was at 10 and ready to go! Pushed for a whopping 5 min and he was out! Phew!!

I don't think I've mentioned this, but baby G has been in th NICU since Monday. The ped was concerned about fluid still in his lungs 24 hrs after birth so she sent him to the NICU for an X-ray and blood work and they dx an infection. He's been there since doing just fine but on a 7-day course of IV antibiotics. I've been in the hospital this whole time too, staying so that I can be with him as much as possible and BF on demand.

His last dose is scheduled for 1a Monday morning and I've been working with the nurses to take care of and schedule everything so that we can be discharged ASAP Monday morning. When H and I were in there snuggling just a bit ago, his night nurse stuck her head in and said she's trying to get his last dose moved up for us! As in, discharge Sunday night?!?!

I said to H that she really shouldn't have said anything unless she knew for sure bc, man, are our hopes up now. Cross your fingers for us - I need my family together!!!

@MommaBean prayers for you and a discharge Sunday night! I can't imagine how this week has gone for you. Hang in there!

ColeBug89 · February 2017

I'm sorry Grant has been in the NICU this past week. As a NICU mom myself, I know how hard it can be. I hope he is able to come home on schedule or earlier! On DDs discharge day, the doctor let us leave early. She was supposed to stay until 8pm (24 hours of eating on her own without tube) but he let us leave around noon that day to "beat the cold weather" lol. Hopefully everything checks out and he will be home with you sooner!

Gretchypoo · February 2017

@MommaBean I'm sorry you all have been in thr NICU but it sounds like you've got a good team. I hope you all get out soon and LO is feeling better!!

chef'swife · February 2017

@MommaBean I hope your little man can come home Sunday! It's so hard when LO has to stay in the hospital. Harrison was in for 1 month and it was the most stressful month of my life. FX that the nurse had a good timeline for you.

MommaBean · February 2017

Thanks, everyone. Earliest is after 10p tomorrow, pending doctor's approval. NICU is, unfortunately, getting very full so maybe that help get us out the door.

DS1 was in the NICU, too. We weren't sure if we were done after #2 or not but right now, I think we're done. I don't want to go through this a 3rd time.

Love to to all my fellow NICU moms!

becks13-2 · February 2017

Congrats on the new bundle of joy @MommaBean I hope you will be taking him home very soon!

kswiger06 · February 2017

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about the fluid, and stay in NICU. I'm sure that's been terribly hard on you, especially having an older one at home.

I hope the babe can get discharged a little earlier so you can all be home tomorrow night.

foxrosy · February 2017

Hoping for a discharge soon! Congrats on your baby!!

MommaBean · February 2017

We're on schedule for NINE tonight and I'm so excited I have tears in my eyes!!! H and I haven't told anyone else, just in case but eeeek!
