yay! happy (maybe early) birthday baby m!

Ok. So there were a few complications, baby M was transverse back down in the womb. Doc tried a version to turn him but out wasnt successful. Baby M was delivered feet first. I lost a bit of blood, which made stitching me up a pain in the butt. Because of the failed version and how baby M was delivered, he is in respiratory distress. He is being transferred to another hospital with a NICU. I have not even held him yet and they are bringing him by for me to see, but I doubt I can hold him. My heart is pretty much broken right now. This was my worst fears realized, being in a different hospital than him.

I'm so sorry things didn't go according to plan. I hope his NICU stay is short and you will be reunited soon!

highsteaks · October 2018

oh no. my heart is breaking for you. hope the time you get to see him before he has to leave is sweet and long. still praying for you.

MojieJo · October 2018

Oh, no. I'm so sorry things didn't go as planned. I hope that things improve soon and your little guy is reunited with you as soon as possible and in good health. Stay strong, mama.

ashkee05 · October 2018

@wildrainbow oh know this breaks my heart too! I am so sorry this happened! I hope everything with you and him go good and quick healing for you so you can get over to him ASAP! Sending lots of love to your little family

I'm sorry you are going to be separated. I can't imagine what you are feeling mama. I hope his stay in NICU is short and you are back together soon.

runningyogimama · October 2018

@wildrainbow Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry. Hopefully you can join him at the other hospital soon. I’ll be thinking of you!

wildrainbow · October 2018

Here are his deets. Matthew Ronan was 5lbs5oz, 18.5 inches long. These pics were snapped by H while I was getting stitched.

josie12367 · October 2018

He's beautiful...I hope that he stabilizes quickly, and you guys can be reunited as soon as possible. Hang in there

So sorry things didn't go as planned

herewegoagain3rd · October 2018

@wildrainbow I am so sorry you went through all that. Hopefully, his NICU stay is super short and you get to hold him soon.

firsttimespartanmom · October 2018

What a precious baby! Hoping his NICU stay is short and that you get to be with him soon.

meg1115 · October 2018

So sorry to hear that things have been difficult. Hoping his stay at the NICU is short and you and your beautiful boy are reunited soon!

lifesabeach85 · October 2018

I’m sorry things got dicey in delivery and you were separated from your sweet boy. I hope you are reunited and both doing swimmingly soon. He’s beautiful!

wildrainbow · October 2018

Ok, new update. Baby M is on 28% O2 at 4 liters, which seems like a lot, but they are not concerned with how many liters he's on so he doesn't have to work as hard. Dr estimates about a 5 day stay. He's in an isolette (sp?), so no holding him right now.

I'm in a crap ton of pain, that pain medicine isn't touching. I've had zero rest all day. I'm trying to get pain under control before I try to pump since I know it will only make me cramp harder. I won't lie, I wish I could erase this day and start completely over.

pink_polkadots · October 2018

Oh I’m so sorry this pregnancy and birth has not been what you envisioned. I hope you are able to get some relief and some rest soon. Your son is beautiful. Sending you and him all the love and happy thoughts.

highsteaks · October 2018

hugs, hun. i wish the day had been better to you.

ashkee05 · October 2018

@wildrainbow I hope they can get your pain under control. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way!

pelorunningmama · October 2018

I am just getting caught up. First, he is beautiful; congratulations! I hate that it did not go as planned and hope you have him in your arms ASAP.

booksandcoffee · October 2018

Precious baby boy. I am sorry things didn’t go as planned. I hope you’re able to be with him ASAP and that they can get your pain under control.

msb11182018 · October 2018

He is adorable! Congratulations momma! Hope you get some relief from the pain soon and his NICU stay is short.

mockingjay1 · October 2018

First, I am so sorry your delivery did not go as planned. So many hugs

Second, he is adorable, congratulations!! I hope they are able to get your pain under control. If your pain is better will they let you be discharged at 24 hours so you can be with Matthew or will they have to watch you longer due to the ICP?

ETA: FX for a very quick NICU stay and that you guys will be together soon.

wildrainbow · October 2018

@mockingjay1 the nurse said 48 hours if I'm doing good.

offtoneverland · October 2018

First off, congratulations on your sweet baby boy! I am so so devastated for you that things didn't go as planned and that you've been separated from him. I hope that his NICU stay is very short and that you get to be with him ASAP. Please let us know if you need anything from us in the meantime. We're here for you!

wildrainbow · October 2018

Finally got my pain semi under control at around 11 pm tonight. I managed to get some sleep, tho not very good sleep since I can only lay on my back. Around 1 am, my monitor started beeping after taking my BP. It showed my BP and O2 stats to be very low. A redo of my BP, and things are well. My O2 sensor had to be changed as it was showing the faulty reading. The nurse did turn up my O2, which I have to be on as long as I'm on the morphine. Hoping for no more drama the rest of the night.

highsteaks · October 2018

yay for morphine and boo to faulty machines disrupting your sleep. i hope you’re able to get some sleep now. are you still pumping or did you decide to take a break? i can’t imagine all the things you’re balancing right now. you are a superhero.

wildrainbow · October 2018

@highsteaks I haven't started pumping because of how bad my pain is. I will start pumping around 6ish or so. This way, if M is allowed to eat, he will have something tho put on his belly.
