Milo Clifford is here!

Milo is finally here! He was born October 16th at 5:59pm. It was a long day but well worth it.

I had gone in for my regular appointment on Wednesday. I had the usual, NST, Ultrasound, labs, and Dr. app. I had the NST fist. As soon as they hooked me up I knew something was up. Milo's heart rate was really high. It was reaching up in the 190's and 200's. They took my blood pressure and that was also really high. The NST nurse went and found my Dr. and he said to go on to the ultrasound and then meet with him but it that it was looking like he was going to be born that week instead of the next. The ultrasound went fine. I met with Dr. Widstrom and he asked how I was feeling. I told him I had been queasy and had a bit of a headache. He said with all that was going on (including the Cholestasis) that it was better to deliver sooner rather than later.

We went in the next day at 11am. I was supposed to have him at 2 but my doctor was delayed. What a long wait we had. The took me to pre-opp at 2:15. We sat there for over 3 hours. It was awful. I didn't get out of recovery until 8pm. I was sad that Ava wasn't able to come that night but it worked out for the best. I was so tired.

Ava was the first to come and see him the next day. She was so excited! It was cute. I was in the hospital until Sunday at 11am. I was happy to be home.

Things are going well. He sleeps a lot of course. He's good at night, I have to wake him to eat and then he is out again.

Bjorn has been the biggest help and I'm going to be sad to see him go back to work tomorow.
