DDIL was induced on Friday but Xavier was born at 4:03 am on Saturday Dec. 7th. 7.6 lbs. We went to see them at the hospital after work (her dad spent the day with ddil) and stayed to have supper with my son (he was very anxious and nervous and had nausea) and by the time we were ready to leave she was open at 7cm... so we thought we'll stay for a little. my daughter was with us too.
She stayed at 9cm for a long time! we were sure to have te baby in the late evening. we ended up trying to sleep in the waiting room with ddil's dad.
It was a hard delivery with a small infection and fever. Xavier has the infection so he is under observation at the nursery and we can't see or hold him. We did see him about 1 minute when he was delivered. Sunday night ddil was released from the hospital but Xavier has to have his bloodtest results on Monday to see if he will be released but most likely they will keep him another 7 days - only the parents can see him. DDIL only got to hold him on Saturday at 6pm for some bonding and ds on Sunday around 11pm.
Saturday sis and bil came to town to see the parents a few minutes and then we had supper at the restaurant with them.
We have been babysitting the dog since Saturday night.
I can't wait to see and hold my 1st grandchild!!!!!

Quote of the week
Congratulations on the new baby! I'm sorry to hear he's having a rough start but praying that he has a full recovery and you can finally hold that sweet grandbaby.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How exciting. Hope he gets to come home very soon. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new grandbaby, Lucy! Am praying health and healing over him and am hoping you can get your hands on him soon. Having to wait this long to see or hold him must be terrible. Is this your first? Have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a grandson. I understand your anxious to spend time with him. I hate that we live 12 hours away from our only grands. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Congratulations on your first grandchild. You are entering into a whole new world of fun. And people told me - you won't believe how you will love that child! It's so true!
ReplyDeleteXavier is beautiful. Praying he comes home soon.
I'm curious - never heard of Macaroni chinois. What is it?
