Well wouldn’t you know it! Sometimes things just have a way of taking care of themselves. We had a bunch of little tales that we wanted to share with everyone. Things like Bryon being quarantined in the camper with acute bronchitis. Or Darlene’s multiple doctor appointments (2 ultra sounds, a 2nd non-stress test, the pulmonologist, the physical therapist). Surely these tales from the last 5 days will make in here eventually.
But all of the little stories are currently completely eclipsed by the current news of the day…
MIKE IS HERE!!!!
The short story is, Darlene had an ultrasound yesterday and the fluid measured less than 5cm. The OB decided that “now is the time”. She actually came into the room with a great big grin on her face singing “happy birthday”! So we left the OB office and walked straight over to the hospital. Darlene checked in an we spent the night here last night.
This morning at 10:30 (we were the third c-section this morning!), the nurse came in and we made the short trek down the hall. By 10:50, the spinal was in and the doctor was ready to go. At 11:06 Mike was out on the scale getting weighed! 6 lbs 12 oz and 18 inches long!
What in the world is going on? This is what I expected! I was so nice and warm
Some short clean-up, and they wheeled us back to the room. Mike has already had a bath (a sponge bath from a nurse!) and has been fed 4 times! And the pee/poop machine is starting to kick in to full production. It’s all been a fabulous experience – a real whirlwind 10 hours.
Mom and Mike are doing GREAT!
We really do hope that we get a chance to see each of you VERY soon. We should be home in a couple of days – give us a call or stop by the house!
