Ok, I guess I am going to be an every 6 month blogger. In my last post I mentioned th
at we were expecting. Well we are now no longer expecting, but have an 8 week old baby! His name is Oliver and he is beautiful. My pregnancy was great. I actually loved it believe it or not. Everything went really well until I was 2 days overdue. That night I got a sudden fever and went to bed early. Around 11:30 I got some sudden cramps that kept coming 3 minutes apart. It took me about 2 hours to realize that I was in labor and my contractions (which I hadn't had all day) started at 3 min. apart. I told Sean and we went to
the hospital. I still had a low fever, but it was causing Oliver's heart to speed up. They put me on IV antibiotics and lots of fluids trying to get my fever down and slow down Oliver's heart rate. After 4 hours my fever had risen to 102 degrees and Oliver's heart rate had risen to 200. My doctor decided that he needed to come out immediately, so they prepped me for an emergency c-section. The surgery went well and Oliver was born at 7:35 am at 7 lbs 12 oz. He had an infection (don't know what though) and had to go to the NICU for 6 days. I co
uldn't see him until my fever was gone which wasn't until the afternoon of the next day. It was horrible not being able to see or hold my baby for a day and a half. It was worse going home without him. Well he is home and perfectly healthy now. I can't believe it's been 8 weeks already. He is getting huge and is absolutely adorable with tons of fabulous crazy hair. I can't believe how much I love him. This Thanksgiving I just wanted to share how thankful I am for my wonderful family.
