I had already posted my birth announcement previously but I wanted to post it here again. Luke was born December 23 at 29 weeks by c section. I had been in the hospital for 6 days prior hoping to be able to keep him in as long as possible. I had severe preeclampsia. I had gotten the steroid shots before thy admitted me to the hospital, and when he was born he was screaming his head off. He weighed 2 pounds 4.6 ounces. He needed some surfactant right after he was born but after that, only needed oxygen for 2 hours and the bubble CPAP for not quite a week. He turned 4 weeks yesterday and is doing amazing!

Here are some pictures, the first is shortly after he was born and the other two are when he was two weeks old.

On Thursday January 15 (31 weeks and 2 days) at 6 am I woke up to a giant gush of fluid. I stood up and had another gush. It was just like on TV but it just kept going. My husband was out of town for work so I called him as I was dressing. I wasn't experiencing any pain or contractions so I drove myself to the hospital. L&D admitted me and shortly after that I started having contractions (maybe around 6:30). They gave me an antibiotic IV. The OB came and did a quick ultrasound to see if baby was still breech and he was. She then checked my cervix and found that I was completely dilated and baby was coming now.

There wasn't time for an epidural for the c-section so they put me under general anesthesia. I woke up and by that time my dad and Snlt were here. They had me in recovery for about an hour and then they finally wheeled me to the NICU. Luckily my husband arrived right in time and we went in to meet him.

Baby William Archer was born at 8:18 am. He weighed 3 pounds 10 ounces and was 16.14 inches long. He came out crying and wiggling, with a full head of hair. He is breathing on his own and doing well. For being born at 31 weeks, he's a pretty hefty baby. He was on IV fluids the first day but last night they started him on a feeding tube and are giving him only my colostrum for now. He's going through it faster than I can make it! He'll be in the NICU for several weeks.
--update: as of 1 week past birth he is up 2 ounces, off the IV and nasal cannula, and starting to nuzzle for breastfeeding. The heat in his isolette is down and he should be out of it in a week or so. He is a serious rock star and the nurses keep saying how mature and smart he is.

Baby Greyson George was born on 2/05/15 at 2:30 pm via emergency c-section due to suspected pre-eclampsia. He was 36w 1d.

Baby G is breathing on his own, nursing, and is 5lbs, 15 oz. he is the sweetest little snug and has the cutest little voice. He looks like the perfect mix between myself and my H.

I'll post a birth story when I am no longer on so many pain meds and can see straight!!

Baby Abigail is here! I was admitted on Wednesday due to high BP, and suspected and later confirmed pre-e. I was going to be induced today at 37 weeks.

Saturday night I went into labor and she was born just after 12 on Sunday 2/8. The epi didn't have time to take, I progressed from 3 to 9 cm dilated in less than 2 hours. There was a bit of a scare because her heart was decelerating, but after being told they would perform an emergency c section if I couldn't push her out soon, she was born on the next contraction.

I felt everything and it was so much more intense than older DD's birth. Despite being early she is doing well and nursing like a champ. We're staying an extra day for monitoring but should be going home tomorrow.

I'll try to post a detailed birth story and pictures once we're home because this is my third attempt to post this on mobile.
