Carson came out a little big anxious to breathe. He took a few gulps of fluid on his way out. He was breech. When I heard his little cry, I could hardly contain my excitement. It was like music to my ears. The doctor held him over the curtain and I got a peek and him. He was pink and very healthy looking to me. Once they got him over to his bed, he was having some trouble breathing. I got to see him for one quick second before they rushed him off to the NICU. Daddy went with him and his brother to the nursery while mommy finished up in the OR.
This was the first time Mommy was able to hold Carson. He spent 2 days in the NICU. He needed an IV and some oxygen. He had a pretty speedy recovery and very soon was able to join the rest of the family in our room. I was so determined to see my little boy, that I was actually out of bed only about 6 hours after the surgery. The nurses pulled some strings and made it so I could go and see him. I wasn't able to hold him right away that night but I did get to go and touch his hands and feet. He looked so weak and tired laying in his bed under the oxygen tent. Daddy was back and forth visiting all of us so that Carson would not be alone for too long. We were so excited for him to get to our room.
A very happy Mommy and Daddy. Carson finally made it to our room. He didn't get to stay very long. I fed him and he went back with his nurse. We were so happy to see him getting stronger. He was in our room the next day and has been doing great ever since!
Getting ready to leave the hospital and head home.
