We had planned to wait to deliver you until Saturday. But, I ended up having a large clot/bleed on the morning of Tuesday September 1st. We had thought about still trying to wait to deliver you, but I was worried about having a rushed c-section if I had a bad bleed. I did not want you to lose too much blood either! Apparently your platelets were a bit low after that bleed. So, around 11 am we ended up deciding to deliver you at 1:30. Your daddy came, and we packed up our long term room.
You were born at 2:02 PM. You were 6 pounds 6 ounces! A bit more than we expected, which was great news. I was in recovery until 4 pm or so. I then was wheeled to your room so I could see you for a minute. Your Aunt Daisy, Ummichi, Rose, and Anna came to see you.
I then went to my room. I tried to eat, but ended up throwing up a few times. I also was so itchy! I then took a nap, and finally got to see you around 7 pm. Your feeds and CARE (vitals) are at 9, 12, 3, and 6. So I made it for the 9 pm vitals, and got to do skin to skin with you for awhile. You had all of your feeds via gavage (a tube into your tummy).
It was so great to meet you! You are such a cute and sweet little boy.
Love you,
Mommy
