My beautiful baby is finally here! Justin was born 3/23 at 7:47... 7lbs 15 oz and 20 inches long.

It was an eventful birth. Started out with me getting a stomach bug Wed night. I was vomiting and had diarrhea from midnight until 6 am Thurs. I couldn't even keep water down. I called my dr and she sent me to the hospital for fear of dehydration.

Sure enough- I was super dehydrated and it took several tries to find a vein to even get an iv in for fluids. I was having contractions 6 minutes apart. The baby wasn't active. It took a few hours for them to get me back to where I should be and the baby was reacting good. They sent me home around 2:30.

I went to sleep when I got home. At 4:30 I got up to go Pee. And when I got up there was a toilet bowl full of blood. I jumped in the car and called the doctor on the way back to the hospital. Within minutes of me getting there, the doctor decided it be best to do a C-section. She didn't want to risk anything with the baby especially since I had a previous C-section. Not long after that I went into the ER and baby Justin was born.

Not long after getting out of recovery and finally being able to see him, a nurse came to check on him and noticed he was kind of grunting and his color was off. She unwrapped him to stimulate him and to get him to wake up. She seemed to be concerned but didn't want us to be alarmed. She said she was going to take him into the nursery just to check him. Very shortly after that she came back without the baby. And let us know that she called another hospital about an hour away that has a NICU and that they were having a team come to check him out because he seemed to be in respiratory distress. It turns out he had inhaled blood and he was struggling to breath. They quickly transferred him to the other hospital. He is currently in critical but stable condition on a ventilator. They have removed quite a bit of blood from his Lungs and are still working on getting the rest out.
