Hi everybody. Just informing everyone that my son arrived to this world via emergency c/s on Thursday. 5 weeks early but he is doing well. I had a placental abruption ( you can Google it :) ) and I am still here in the hospital but doing well. I wanted to upload a photo from my IPhone to put here but I'm not sure how so if anyone does, please let me know. That's all, just thought I'd let you guys know since alot of you are like family.

Thanks guys! I am very blessed. The doctors said had I waited 15 more minutes, he might not be alive so I know he is destined for something great. I sent AnnaC the pics so I'm sure she'll post them soon. He is doing well and we "expect" to go home on Tues or Wed. My others were vaginal so this emergency c/s is different and I am certainly not used to this pain. I also have a horrible sore throat from the intubation and have the urge to cough but don't dare!!! I was in the triage at 7:55am and the nurse pit me on the monitor and at 8:12am the baby was out!!
I wonder how it might have played out if I was in Santiago. Well, like I said, he's destined for something. Thanks for all of the well wishes and prayers. :)
