Addyson Lynne was born on 7/29/08 at 8:46pm at 35w5d. She was born weighing 6lbs 1oz and was 18.5 inches long. She spent her first 6 days in NICU with Transient Tachypnea along with her right lung not fully expanding. You are never prepared to leave the hospital without your baby. As far as NICU stays go, I know we are extremely lucky to only have been there for 6 days. Despite her rough start in life, she is doing wonderful and has no residual effects of being born early. In fact within her first 36 hours home she gained 3 ozs.
As far as me, the c-section went fine. I did lose too much blood which resulted in extremely low blood pressure which led to a vomit fest in recovery and exteme anemia. The only reason I didn't receive a transfusion is because I "could stand" according to my dr and he didn't want to inhibit me from visiting NICU. Tuesday at my 2 week appt I had already lost 19lbs! Only 7 more to go!
