IT'S A BOY!!! We welcomed our newest addition on November 15, 2011 at 1224. Caelum was 7.0 pounds and 19.25 inches long. A little labor history....We went in at 0600 and I was at 5cm. Pitocin was started at 0730 and by about 1200 (give or take a few minutes) I was at 10cm. After 5 contractions worth of pushing we welcomed lil Caelum!! He came out and urinated everywhere which was a positive sign to us due to his kidney issues. I am attempting breastfeeding again with Caelum in which he seems to be a pro already - just hope my body can hold up its part of the feeding and keep the production up. But he is doing great. We are having to stay a bit more than 48 hours in the hospital as they had to run a couple of test for his kidneys after he was 48 hours old and then if we got the ok he can get his circumcision.
He has had the test completed in which showed he had a Grade 2 reflux in his right kidney and diverticulum on the left side of his bladder. They do not seem extremely concerned at this point and looks like it may just heal on its own. So he will continue his antibiotic to help prevent any infections and we will go to the urologist again in 2 weeks for a follow-up.
He just got back from his circumcision and rightly so, was a bit upset - broke my heart! But it is for the best especially with his kidney/bladder issue.
Other than that we are all doing great and anxious to get home.
Kerrick go to meet his lil brother on Tuesday and did really great with him. He first pointed and poked at his eye but the rest of the time, he would give him kisses and pat his back. The big tell-tell sign is when we go home with him. Unfortunately, Kerrick will most likely be in bed when we get home, so we shall see in the morning how he will react!
And a BIG Thanks to Teddy, Gramm's and Nanny for caring for Kerrick while we have been at the hospital! Uncle Chris surprised us all today and flew in for a visit and will be here through the weekend as well - so I know Kerrick is enjoying all of the attention from everyone!
Here are a few pictures from Caelums birthday....I will post more once we get home!!
