So, Keller is here! Born March 5th at 7:44 AM. He was 8lbs and 12 oz. We had a wager with my OB.. She though he would be 8 lbs even.. William thought he would be 8lbs 3 oz.. and I thought he would be 8lbs 8 oz... I was closest! Since this was my first scheduled C- section, I was super anxious and very nervous. William and spent the night before at the Hampton Inn in Oxford and tried to get some sleep. We had to be at the hospital at 5Am on D day. Everything was very organized and ready to go when I arrived. It took them a while to get the epidural in place which was not a pleasant experience! Once we were in the OR things went very quickly. Keller was a little stubborn and took some extra help to get him out! He had some feeding issues until my milk came in on day 4.. he had lost 1 lb 2 oz by then ..so I was pumping as much as I could to get my supply up to par. No formula for this little man!
After 5 days in the hospital, we headed home to a house of six! Things were a little crazy the first few days, but the rest of the kids started their new pre-school that week which helped out a lot. They love their new school and cannot wait for Spring Break to be over so they can go back. Keller eats about every2 hours during the day and about every three hours at night. William has been sleeping with Rainey since we got home, so at least one of use can get some sleep! We just started using the "Miracle Blanket" and he has been in his cradle for the last two nights!!! He is a great eater, so I am hoping his weight is back up to 8 lb 12 by out appointment next Thursday.
