Hello everyone and thanks for all of the phone calls and messages. Ty was born this morning at 4:26 AM...he was 7 pounds 11 ounces. I will spare everyone the details of the labor, but it was a great, but intense 28 hour labor. I am very thankful for my doula and the midwives where I delivered.
While the actual birth was great, Ty had a few problems right after, so we didn't get to spend much quality time with him in our room. He ingested a bit of meconium and is on antibiotics for a possible infection. After visiting Ty in the nursery this afternoon, the doctors noticed a potential other problem, so we had to transfer Ty to a hospital with a Level 2 NICU. Fortunately, since we live in San Francisco, we get the best of all medical options. Long story short...I was discharged after 12 hours and will be home tonight (and, I am so very glad to be in my own bed). I road in the transport to the 2nd hospital for Ty, where he will stay for the next few days. Fortunately, the new hospital (CPMC) is right down the street and the NICU is large and handles a large volume. We should know more tomorrow when we return in the morning.
I'll post more pictures after we get to snap pictures of Ty without the tubes. We can't wait for you all to meet Ty. I'm trying to get through all of my phone calls to everyone...if it takes me a while, please forgive me. In the meantime, I'll try to post lots of info here!
