Lucas is now 6 lbs. and 4 oz.

I’d say he’s eating well and my milk is in, lol.

More hospital pics. I have some new more recent ones but need to upload them.

He went on his second outing today. We went to wal-mart to get some preemie clothes and he was in the sling the entire time. Someone asked me if he was a baby or a dog…they couldnt see him and he was so little they weren’t sure.

oh, yes and my step dad calls him “Peanut” – I think it may stick, lol

Things here are great. Still a little sore but that’s a c-section for you.The more i move and do things the better I feel.
I am having very little bleeding and that’s been light from day one.
My milk came in last night. So “peanut” should start gaining. My step dad calls him peanut because he’s sooo tiny.  I think he’s back to 6 lbs though, so he’s doing well. He has his first check up tomorrow so we will see.

I think we need a few more outfits. We don’t have much in preemie and i don’t want to get too much but i need a little more.

Here:

Today we went to TARGET and got some stuff. He still needs a few more preemie outfits, he’s soo tiny.

When we got back Jacob took some pictures for us!

I was pumping earlier because he feel asleep before finishing the 2nd side and Will was operating the hand pump. It was hilarious.

From our trip to Target:

Will and Charlie were going to get me food and they were walking behind a woman with TIGHT jeans on…

Will said quite loudly that the woman had really pretty legs!!

LOL!!

HE arrived in this world at 6:57, was 18 1/2 inches and He was 6 lbs. 1 oz.

He’s laying next to me about just falling asleep. Again.

He’s slept a lot today and they insisted on giving him a little formula because his blood sugar was low.

IT was a pretty rough night last night. Two hours after we went to sleep I went into labor. I was “okay” for about an hour but then it hurt SO BAD. DH took Will next door and SLOWLY helped me up after calling the doctor and discovering I was bleeding and my water had broken.

Apparently my uterus ruptured and i had placenta previa. Which means I probably won’t be having any more babies of my own. It seperated from my the area where my first scar was. But that explains the SEVERE pain I was in.

I haven’t talked to MY OB about it but his partner who started my section told DH that. We’ll see. It’s probably not worth it though, especially since we are very open to adoption if we go with #3.

Will loves to give him kisses and I finally saw his eyes – maybe two hours ago. . . sleepy head. Now watch him be up all night.

Oh and my heart rate was high and test were abnormal so they had to do a CAT scan and Ultrasound –thinking maybe I have blood clots. No word yet so I guess everything is ok.

It all sounds bad but it really wasn’t – overall.

Oh, I was dialated to an EIGHT when I got here. HOLY SMOKES.

I think is about it. I covered a lot, but not everything, I’m sure. I’m just EXHAUSTED.
