I had a long labor and it was complicated by having pre-eclampisa (high-blood pressure) on admission, which threw us off because my pregnancy had been perfectly healthy. Creighton had to be in NICU for a few days because the medication I was on made it a little hard for him to breath, and I had to stay on bed rest for another 24 hours. Greg was wonderful and jumped back and forth from my bedside to the NICU every 3 hours to feed Creighton. I finally got to see him again the following night which was Thursday, then by Friday we were all able to be together in our room.
Despite all the bumps the overall experience was wonderful. Greg and Teresa supported me so much(although I am pretty sure Teresa now never wants to give birth-ha). I couldn't have done this without them and my wonderful OB.
Each day being home has been better and better. We are so lucky that Greg is done with med school so we are both stay at home parents until July. Everyday we can't believe he's really ours, he has stolen our hearts and has made us a very happy family.
