Corneilius Christopher joined the family at 5:50pm. He came in at 9lbs. 3.4 ounces and 20 inches long at 37 weeks!
He is beautiful.
Upon arrival he had some trouble breathing, which actually turned out to be nothing. He was sent to the special care nursery. Not how I planned it! :(
While correcting his own breathing they noticed he had low blood sugar.
This lead to a prolonged stay in the nursery for Mr. CC! It was rough to not have my new little nugget in my arms or bed-side!
He ended up having an IV of D10 (sugar basically) in order to maintain his glucose levels. They (inadequately- that's another story) ran many tests trying to figure what was going on?!
All the while we spent many hours in the nursery snuggling our newest bundle of perfect (thank you Gaga and Aunt Manda for watching all our girls!)
After being discharged myself, CC spent 2 more days in the special care nursery.....
and was finally transferred to Desert's NICU 3, at one week old, to get REAL answers!To be continued!!
