She was born May 30th at 6:15 am weighing 7 lbs and 3 ounces. She had a bowel movement in utero so we knew there was a chance she'd have trouble breathing when she was born. The birth itself was very fast and she suffered even more respiratory distress because of it. The nurses whisked her off to NICU 5 minutes after she was born--we didn't have a chance to hold her--barely got to see her. I finally saw her about 4 hours after she was born. She's doing a lot better now, they were able to wean her off the oxygen last night. She still has an IV and heart monitors and a feeding tube. She's breathing well on her own, now the problem is she's having trouble digesting her food. So they're keeping an eye on her for that. If she continues to improve like she has been then hopefully we can bring her home this week. More to come later.
