now that we have had some sleep in the hospital, and has breakfast I cangive a full report.
7.09oz, 20 inches, 10 fingers, 10 toes, dent in her forehead.
16 hours in triage.
18 in pitocin induced labor.
1 dose of stadol waiting for the epidural.
1 epidural which worked well, but started failing about 4 hours before the birth causing a bit of a WTF by the staff. some moving around and a dose of something else into the line fixed the issue for about 3 hours.
Test pushed for 20 minutes.
waited for 30 since mom wasn’t quite ready it seemed.
10 minutes of pushing.
doctor called, rested while waiting for 10 minute.
Pushed for 4 contractions and it was done.
2:42pm 8/15
34 hours in hospital
dark brown full head of hair, but eye color obviuosly is still up in the air since they are still that cool gun metal blue/grey that babies eyes usually are at birth because of lack of pigmentation.
Ashley makes lots of cute little wimpers and grunts but no real crying, yet… Only twice so far, first bath and pediatrician checkout. There is a full volume screamer somewhere on the floor and wow that would suck.
Ashley is feeding well. Mom is trying to breastfeed but getting a little frustrated because it is very on-off in the way Ashley latches. Everyone keeps telling mom that’s normal in the beginning but that doesn’t seem to matter to her. She’s a bit freaked out I think, but also seems quite happy.
I will be stopping home at some point to take care of some stuff and will upload the photos to flickr.
