HE'S HERE!!!!
MALOSI TRE PETERS
6 lbs 9 oz
19.5 inches
Let's start from January 31st at 4:50 am. That is when I had my first contraction. It felt like period cramps, wasn't worried. It started coming every 15 mins, then 10 mins, then around 7am it started coming ever 5 mins. I had a doctor's appointment at 9:45am that morning and thought we would just wait until then to see the doctor and see if I should go in to the hospital. At 8 the contractions started getting pretty intense to where I'd have to do the hee-hee-who breathings! During birthing classes me and Mos cracked up during the breathing exercises, but it actually helped a lot! By 8:30am I told my dad, let's go!! It's time to go to the hospital. So we got to the hospital and my contractions started getting really strong. The nurse had me dress into a hospital gown and then the doctor came to check me and I was already 9 cm dilated! They quickly started prepping the delivery room for me and moved me there and got all my IV's hooked up. I originally planned to give birth naturally so it was no problem that since I was 9 cm it was too late to get anything for pain. The only problem was that I was Group B Strep positive, meaning I had bacteria in the birth canal so I was suppose to get an IV hooked up to treat that, but it was too late. An hour after arriving at the hospital, my contractions were killing me! I did cry during 2 of the contractions while pulling Mosi's hair and doing the breathing. Then I was ready to push. 10 mins later..........
The most beautiful blessing entered the world! He weighed in 6lbs 9 oz, which was a surprise since I had gained so much weight, we all thought he'd be a big boy, at least 8 or 9 lbs. But thank you baby for making it easy on me, and shame on me for making it harder to get my old body back!! hahaha
We moved to our post-birth room and the sleepless nights began! Luckily, no one else was sharing a room with us so Mos got to spend the night and use the other bed in the room. The next day we were expecting to take the little guy home, but he kept throwing up everything he was eating and the doctor wanted to monitor him for one more day. So another night in the hospital it was. The next day we thought for sure we'd be leaving with him, but nope. His test results came back and he had a slightly high level of bacteria in his blood(most likely due to my Group B Strep being untreated before delivery) and the doctor thought he looked a bit jaundice. So I was discharged and baby had to stay in the nursery.
We went home without our baby boy, but got some rest finally. We went back the next morning and stayed with him in the nursery. His bilirubin level(jaundice) was high so he had to stay another night. We went home once again, babyless, and returned the next day to news again that he needed to stay one more night just to make sure his bilirubin level was down. We came early the next morning to find the doctor doing his discharge papers.... He was comin home that day!!
OKA!!! No sleeeeeeeeeeep for us the 2 weeks!! Up every 2-3 hours.... but he is such a blessing :)
He sleeps through the night now for about 6 hours now which is awesome! And he is the biggest fatso ever!!! He weighed 8 lbs at his 2 week check up!
