My life goings on-Superman makes his debut!
This week has been a crazy one. Thursday night my contractions started to get closer together at around 7:30. I have a high tolerance for pain but they got so bad that I was crying and could not get comfortable. I tried getting demerol but it didn't relieve the pain. My nurse checked my cervix twice and there was no change. They thought I had an infection in my uterus so they drew my blood to test it. Finally at 4:15 am the nurse came back and said my white count was high so she was hooking me up to antibiotics which should slow down the contractions. She checked my cervix one last and I was finally dilated-to 4-5cm. She rushed me to labor and delivery. They prepped everything and gave me the epidural at 4:50. The nurse checked me again and I was fully dilated and ready to push. After 1 single push Castan Bradlee Bastian Brown made his appearance at 5:03 am. He weighed a whopping 1lb 12oz and is 14 in long. They got him over to the heat lamp and he immediately started crying. This was amazing as they didn't think his lungs would be developed at all. They laid my little superman on my chest and he whimpered like a little puppy. Castan has done so well!! He was taken off of the ventilator yesterday. His jaundice is going down. He has had no issues with breathing. My little guy is astounding everyone!!! Hopefully tomorrow he will be taken off the bili light. Well time for me to go to bed so I can get up early to go see him.
