He always sleeps with his arms up like this!Now that our little guy is 2 months old....I'm finally posting pics of him! Life is so crazy with a baby, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Packer is our little miracle baby--we're so glad he's here with us and finally got to come home after being in the hospital for 5 weeks! Packer arrived early and unexpectedly on the 4th of July! He weighed only 3 lbs! I was on bedrest for severe pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure that causes pregnancy induced seizures) for a few weeks prior, and started having severe back pain. I finally gave in and called my OB who said I should go straight to the hospital. Sure enough, my blood pressure was through the roof (200/120) and my placenta had started to abrupt (tear away from the the uterine wall, causing severe internal bleeding and fetal depression). I had to have an emergency c-section. When Packer came out he wasn't breathing and didn't have a heart rate. His apgar score was 0. The Dr said there were no signs of life at birth. SO SCARY. After being resuscitated for 3 minutes Packer's heart started beating and they were able to intubate him to help him breath. WHAT A MIRACLE. I also got really sick after I delivered. I lost so much blood from the abruption that I had to have 2 blood transfusions! My preeclamsia became toxemia and caused my kidneys to start failing and I almost had to go on dialysis! To top it all off, after a week in the hospital my right leg started to hurt, and sure enough...I had a blood clot! What else could go wrong?! But it was all worth it to have our little baby boy! He's been home for a few weeks now and couldn't be doing better! He weighs 7 lbs now and is a little angel! I love being a momma! Its also been nice to have family visiting! We love our little guy so much and are so excited to have our little family all together! Life is good!
