Had Hunter Oct 4th, 2011.  He was 6lb 3oz 18 1/2in. 

I went in for an NST on the 3rd and Hunter fail his kick tests.  So they admitted me for observation.  And they decided to do my c-section the next morning.  He was born at 7:57 am.

I needed two iron transfusions and a blood transfusion.  I remained in the hospital until the 9th.  Hunter was fine and ready to go on the second day.  I now need weekly labs for my iron.  I knew my iron was low but not deadly low.  My hct/hemoglobin was extremely low as well.  I may need another transfusion.  I will know in a few days.

I have been in bed since I have gotten home.  I am happy that I actually can breastfeed.  I was unable with my first.  I am super tired and healing well.  My 3 year old, Ryder, is very lovable to the baby.  He kisses and had held him gently.  It's very sweet.

Hope all are doing well.

Congratulations on a healthy baby boy! Sorry to hear you've had such a rough time! Hopefully they can get your iron where it needs to be! Glad you're able to breastfeed and your older one adores the baby! Feel better soon!
