My wife delivered a beautiful (big) baby girl yesterday! She was 9 lbs 5 oz. Due date was actually Feb. 18th..but we went ahead and induced yesterday. She's bigger than our son was when he was born. So he may have his hands full in a few years!
There were some complications after delivery with the baby. The way I understand it is that she was having some problems getting enough oxygen saturation on her own. They said she had a little of what they call respiratory distress from the delivery. Most of this is due to some fluid in her lungs they think.
But I am pleased to say that today however, she is off of the oxygen assistance breathing totally on her own now and seems to be doing worlds better. Other than this little problem, she is a big and healthy baby girl. Except for a hazy chest xray this morning, all signs show that she is turning the corner for the better. We're not sure if she'll get to come home w/us or if they'll keep her for precautionary measures a little longer. We will wait to see what the doctor says today.
So in a nutshell, everything looks like baby will be fine, but please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers...that never hurts.
Thanks all.
