Baby is here!

Finn Michael was born on Friday the 23rd via c-section at 9:40pm. He was 7lbs 8 oz and 19.25 inches long. 

I have been out of work since 34 weeks because of my BP, and originally had a RCS scheduled for this coming Friday. However, my BP was high at my appt on Friday (38 weeks) and they sent me for monitoring at the hospital. Since I only had a week until my scheduled section, and they didn't want my BP to get any worse over the long weekend, they decided we would have the baby that day. It is truly amazing the differences between a scheduled c-section and an emergency c-section. Of course, now recovery is much more difficult with a toddler running around, but we are managing. We came home yesterday, and Cora is still adjusting, but we will get there.

Re: Baby is here!

  • Congratulations! I'm sorry you had to go in for an emergency c, but so glad the both of you are healthy. Also, my best friends son is Finley Michael, which I've always thought was a great name!
