Well, well, a few weeks early and I'm a mom! Holy cow! I know that not a lot of people read this, but while I'm actually near a computer I want to post really quick. Pictures will be (hopefully) coming soon!
My water broke last Tuesday night, not even an hour after my dr's appointment where my Dr. assured me that I wouldn't be having him within the next week...Right! Anyway, we sped down to the hospital...and waited. At 4AM I was put on Pitocin to start my labor and at 1:19PM out came Silas Oliver!!
I was 36 weeks when I delivered so he was definitely early. His lungs are underdeveloped, mostly the left one, so he was transferred to the Utah Valley NICU in Provo a few hours after birth and will be there until he is well. Right now he's just on a CPAP that is helping to keep his lungs fully inflated. He is getting a little bit of air in there, alternating from room air (21%) to 25%, so overall he's doing well. We just gotta get him off the CPAP and breathing well, then breastfeeding well and then he can come home!!
Please keep us in your prayers, I'd like my little boy home sooner rather than later, haha!!
