Well Finnegan turned one month today, and I am finally feeling like my old self (ok most of the time at least). Finn really gave us a run for our money. I went into labor one day before my RSC (yes, he was born and history was made haha) and ended up in the NICU for nearly a week. This was devastating for me. I had written up an "after birth plan" and it was all thrown to the wind. I didn't get to see him until about 5 hrs after delivery and the comment that the neonatalogist gave me (after he told me my baby was going to the NICU) was "its not like he's dying or anything". I was horrified!! This was just the beginning. I was instructed not to touch or talk to Finn because he was "potentially a very sick baby" and it would be too stressful for him, however, when I went to sit with him at 2 am and the night nurse let him cry and cry because she was too busy checking her email that wasn't too stressful? Oh and her way of comforting him was shoving a pacifier in his mouth and rolling a receiving blanket up to keep the pacifier in his mouth so she wouldn't have to get up again when he spit it out!! WTF?? We finally got two wonderful nurses after day 4 in the NICU and that was the first time I got to hold him. And wouldn't you know, that is when he began getting better.... coincidence? Oh, I don't think so. It turns out it was fluid on the lungs or "wet lungs" which is pretty common for c-section babies since there is no pressure on them to squeeze the amniotic fluid out. Anyway, Finnegan is now home and he is nursing quite well, atleast on the right side. We are all adjusting well....for the most part 
for all the hard times in the nicu. the nerve of some people. i just read another horrid nicu nurse story last night. grrr....
:
I am so happy that you are at home with your babe and that he and you are doing well. 
: I am thrilled that he is doing so well and so happy that you two are together. Congrats, again mama!
