It's been crazy morning and I will tell the tale soon but a quick update for now:
Lil.y He.len 10lbs 5oz No idea of length.
Full head of hair and looks just like C.
She has been having some breathing troubles so she is in NICU for now. I hate not having her with me but I know she is exactly where she needs to be. My legs are just regaining some feeling and my incision is definitely starting to wake up now.
I was able to hold her for a couple minutes before she was taken to the nursery.
Thanks ladies! At first they had hoped it'd be 4hrs or so in NICU but now it looks like she will be in there until tomorrow morning. Her oxygen has fluctuated a lot so they just want to be 100% sure that once it normalizes that it stays that way.
In the mean time I am trying to wiggle my toes and get cleared to use a wheelchair so I can see her.
So they tried to get me standing at about 5:00pm so I could go from the bed to a wheelchair and visit L. I was doing alright until I wasn't.
I have no memory of what happened but when I came to there were nurses and my OB all around and they were saying I may have had a seizure. My H and MIL looked pretty freaked out. Luckily, it looks like I probably just fainted but there are some symptoms they don't love so a neurologist will be in to see me today. All my lab work has come back normal though so I've been told they expect it to be fine.
L is doing great in NICU though. The nurses here are amazing. When I came-to after fainting I immediately realized that I wouldn't be going to see DD and I just started crying uncontrollably. I had spent all day being "fine" with it and having my family see her and I was thisclose to finally seeing her myself. A few hours later the NICU nurse was happy with her levels and brought her to my room for a half hour visit. It was everything. She is such a chunker and was so content just to snuggle me while obidad played with her hair.
She should be rooming with us some time this morning and I am feeling much better minus the gas pain all over so I am hoping that it is just good things from here on out.
My reception is really bad here so uploading a pic isn't working. Hopefully soon!
Tl;Dr: I tried standing and fainted. Neuro consult today to rule out anything nefarious because apparently I faint weird. L is doing well and was brought to my room for some snuggles and it gave me life. She should be out of NICU this morning.
Oh geez. I hope the neuro appointment is fine and I'm so glad you got to spend some time with her. Big hugs! I hope all the craziness is behind you soon.
