Today our family had a very scary and unexpected surprise—my sister had her baby! Technically Baby Brayden wasn’t due until March 1st but his HR dropped and his movements stopped so they did an emergency C-section this afternoon. One minute we were talking about how the doctors were thinking she might need to deliver in the next 24-48 hours (which was very scary) to them wheeling her to the O.R. in a mad rush. The next thing we knew…Baby Brayden was here!
He is 8 weeks early and 4lbs 2oz. When we FINALLY got to see him it was such a relief. He’s tiny (although, not as little as I was expecting when I went into the NICU.) I could have stood there for hours and hours just holding his minature hand–I know he is too little to really understand but by the way he was gripping my finger—I know he could tell we were there. We (everyone but my sister) were lucky enough to go right back after the doctors came and explained his current situation but Juls had to spend a couple hours in recover first. I can’t imagine how hard and how scared she must have been waiting to finally see the life she spent months creating. I think finally seeing the Little One helped calm her heart and I hope she gets to spend a little time with him tonight before she goes to sleep…if sleep is even possible.
Right now, he is still on a ventilator but the doctor says he is making leaps and bounds. We will know so much more tomorrow after talking with the doctors. All in all I would say Juls is holding up very well. It seems so strange that my little sister is a Mother. I am hoping and wishing for a quick recovery for both my sister and wonderful little nephew!!
