Meet the newest GP baby!

Sorry I've been MIA for the last few days! But our sweet little boy was born Tuesday the 28th at 9:19am. What they thought were stages of early preterm labor ended up being full labor by the time I saw a doctor Tuesday morning. I ended up having an emergency csection and being completely knocked out. I'll get to his full birth story later since I feel like I am still trying to wrap my head around everything. He is doing great for being born at 31 weeks 5 days and weighing 4lbs 1.9oz. He is so precious, breathing on his own (after pulling out his breathing tube) but feeding through a tube. DH was allowed to hold him the first day and we facetimed from the recovery room. I was finally able to hold him yesterday, and we did a little bit of skin to skin last night.

Re: Meet the newest GP baby!

  • Congratulations!! He's an adorable little peanut. Must have been too excited to meet his mommy and daddy to wait any longer. Hope your hospital stay is short and everyone gets to go
    home soon!
  • He really just did not want to miss Derby! So glad you two are doing well, and I hope he's not in the nicu for too long.

  • Congrats! I know how scary it is when your LO arrives early, but you guys will be fine and hopefully his stay in the NICU will be a short one. He's a cutie :)

    And I know all about trying to wrap your head around what happened. I went through the same thing almost a year ago when my daughter arrived at 29 weeks! Surprise! But you would never know from looking at her now that she was born so early ;) 
  • Congrats! He's adorable, I hope his NICU stay is short .
