baby arrived early but doing very well

Came for my ultrasound yesterday and the doctor decided to go ahead and take her so last night about @ 8:34pm my daughter Sloane Lindsey was born. She was born at 37 weeks so she had some fast breathing at first but thats normal now and shes off the oxygen. Also all her blood work is good. Shes on some antibiotics but should come off those in a couple days. The NICU nurses say shes made amazing progress just on their shift this morning.

The only rough part through the whole ordeal was during the cesarean. It took them four excrutiating attempts to get the epidural to take, then during the procedure at the last minute she got scared and turned and was breach, anothef male doctor had to start pushing on my ribs and chest area REALLH HARD to help my obgyn get her out, and bc he had to use the vacuum and trying t get a good grip on her shes very bruised on her back, legs and face. She looks pitiful like shes been in a terrible fight lol but the bruises should fade within a week.

Anyways so theres my birthing story. Please keep us in your prayers that she keeps progressing fast like she has been and can leave when i leave in a few days.
