Layla Ray, a bit early....
Hi Ladies!!
Layla Ray was born last Friday, August 12th at 11:38am
She was 6lbs 15oz and 19 inches long
We weren't quite expecting her. I was 35 weeks and 6 days...that big storm blew in and GUSH, my water broke! I guess there is some correlation between the change in barometric pressure and women's water breaking...there were 7 women all admitted within 30 min. of each other here at the women's hospital. It was an AMAZING labor and delivery (I had a VERY difficult delivery with my first daughter) and when Layla first arrived everything seemed to be ok. She scored 8 and 9 on her APGAR. But then about 5 hours after birth, she began having some breathing difficulties.
We are now at the NICU at the Woman's hospital and they have diagnosed Layla with Respiratory Distress Syndrom (immature lungs). It was a difficult first 72 hours, but Layla seems to be doing much better now. She is on high-flow with oxygen...but they are slowing weaning her off as her lungs get stronger. Once she can breathe on her own, we will begin to teach her how to suck and swallow to eat...so we have a bit longer here. ANY good vibes, love, thoughts and prayers are WELCOME!!!! As we're trying to stay positive and strong through this experience!

Re: Layla Ray, a bit early....
Congratulations, thoughts, and prayers to you. August 12th is a great day! Our first- now 15 years old- has the same birthday! So does our Godson. I love the name you chose!
