Luke decided to come a little bit earlier than anticipated. On May 7th, my water broke about 2:15 am and we decided to hurry to the hospital because my labor with Ty was so fast and I was Group Strep B positive. We made great time and got the boys ready and was at the hospital by 3 am. We got checked in and they determined my water had broken and started my iv and antibiotic.
We all just hung out and waited for my labor to pick up. I expected it to go fast but I guess my body wasn't really ready to have him. They ended up giving me Pitocin about 8:15 or 8:30 after I decided to get an epidural. I started pushing about 11:05 and he was born at 11:20 am. He came out crying, so we thought his lungs were okay, but later found out that they were not.
They decided to take him to the NICU for observation, but it ended up being a lot more than that. He was diagnosed with Respiratory Distress Syndrome and was on a CPAP machine for 4 days, then was switched to a Nasal Cannula.
Finally free to the CPAP!
His first picture without anything on after the NICU stay!
Finally going home!
We are so lucky to have a healthy baby at home now. A week in the NICU is quite a challenge when you have other kids. I'm glad it was just a week!
