Update: we are all still at the hospital. I went through all the stages of labor on Monday pretty smoothly but in the end, she just wouldn't get into the right position so I had to have a C section. Our beautiful girl was born around 3am early Tuesday morning 😊 She had some fluid in her lungs when she was born (pretty normal during a C section) so was put on oxygen and kept for observation. Her labs also showed signs of a possible infection even though I was on antibiotics through labor so she has been kept in the NICU all week for care, observation, and further tests to make sure she's healthy. She's off oxygen and eating now so all looks good but she will still stay on antibiotics a few more days. I was recovering on Tuesday and feeling well but then suddenly developed a wet cough of my own which turned out to be fluid in my lungs (most likely from too many IV fluids during labor and surgery), which is why I'm still here as well. I'm feeling better now but still getting breathing treatments, meds, and labs done to rule out anything else. It's clearly been an eventful week that didn't go the way we expected AT ALL but nothing that should have long term effects and apparently very few peoples' births go smoothly anyway. We're just eager to be together and go home as soon as we can. Thank you for all the love and congratulations messages! 💜 We are still very excited about our new addition 🤱
