Elliott Grayson was born April 12, 2015 at 6:39pm weighing 2lbs7oz. They delayed cord clamping (60sec) and then he cried! DH almost passed out so he didn't get to hear Elliott cry but the nurses let us have a few seconds of cheek-to-cheek time before he was whisked away to the NICU. He's currently on the lowest setting of the CPAP (after less than 5min with a tube) and hopefully he'll maintain.
Today was a whirlwind with visitors and getting out of the post-op fog. my pain tolerance had been OK and wondering what tomorrow will bring.
They're starting feedings at 3cc/3hr and hopefully my milk will come in soon. I was able to hand express a drop or two but was told to keep pumping consistently.
I'll be discharged on Thursday and DH is so glad I'm coming home. He's shed a tear everytime I've seen him and we can't believe we're parents.
As always, ladies, TY for all of your support and I'll be lurking on the threads while I'm recuperating. Here's a pic of Elliott.
(Sorry, deleted the pics bc of the weirdo drama; when the password protected subgroup is created, E will be back! )
