I just wanted to give you all an update! Our sweet little baby girl was born on Tuesday, October 14th at 3:55 p.m. after only 9 hours of labor and 5 minutes of pushing. Because my other two were both 14 hour labors 9 hours does not seem so bad. She weighed 8 lbs. 13 ounces and is 19 ½ inches long. She is absolutely beautiful. I guess because the other two both have dimples like their dad, I was expecting her to have them as well but she doesn’t. She has dark hair and dark eyebrows and eyelashes. She seems to be darker than the other two were. She has the sweetest little mouth and chubby little cheeks. A few hours after delivery she was having a hard time breathing and had to be put on oxygen and kept in the level 2 nursery for a 48 hour observation. The doctor put her on IV antibiotics as a preventative measure while they were waiting for blood tests to come back. The results came back this morning and everything is fine as far as the blood work so they took her off the IV. However, she had a few episodes this morning when her oxygen levels dropped again. So instead of coming home today she will be observed for another 24 hours and given medication to treat reflux which the doctor thinks may be the cause of the oxygen saturation problem. I have been discharged from the hospital but am staying in the level 2 nursery lounge until Lila is released which will be tomorrow morning (Saturday) if all goes well. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
