Aww thanks.

Well, the truth is I only got to be at term for one day. I developed pre-eclampsia around 35 weeks and was on modified bedrest to try and control it. At monday's appointment my bp was still high and the ob told me I had to deliver that day.

So dh and I went home, grabbed the bag I had thankfully packed the night before, and headed to the hospital. Since the baby was still breech I ended up having a c-section. I was really scared, but the actual surgery wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have to admit the spinal really sucked though. It works very well, but wow does it hurt going in.

So my baby, Logan Hunter, was born at 8:34PM. He was 6 pounds 5 oz and 19 inches long. He came out screaming and didn't have to spend any time in the nicu. Logan's having some issues with breastfeeding but is otherwise a pretty calm baby. Right now we're also dealing with some mild jaundice, but so far it's not bad enough for the doctors to need to do more than just keep an eye on it. I'll post a picture in a bit.
