Robert hunter is here - scary delivery!

Hi ladies:

Robert Hunter was born on May 20 and weighed in at 8 lbs, 14 oz.  I labored for about 24 hours (acually started on my own and didn't need much of an induction after all), but then had to have a C-section because he just didn't fit.

Well, when he was born, he stopped breathing and had to be tubed and recucitated.  It was the scariest few hours of my life.  Apparently he had some mucus in his lung.  When they tubed him, it caused a hole in his lung.

All is well now and he'll be coming into the room with us today, then going home with us as usual.  

I'll post a pick if I can figure out how to do it.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Wow that is scary. Sorry to hear the little guy got a lung poked. :( Poor baby. Grrr on these docs. I'm sure time was of the essence so that's why it happened but still.

Glad all is ok and wishing you a happy lifetime of joy
