Hi everyone!!! Thanks so much for worrying about us & praying for us - Andrew Joseph was born just a few hours after my last post on the night of June 25, 8 lbs. 8 oz., 20 3/4 inches.
Unfortunately since my labor progressed way faster than we expected (given my first 2 were looooong), I made it to the hospital but my mw did not have time to administer the whole dose of abx for my being GBS+ and my poor baby contracted GBS
Thank God they caught it right away and were able to treat it before he became too sick - but he had to stay in the NICU for 10 days of treatment so we just got home last night.
He is 100% fine now though, and sooooo cute
I am so grateful, the NICU staff was amazing and they let me stay with him the whole time - they had a room with a cot and a shower where I lived, I never even walked outside the hospital in 10 days - I was able to nurse him around the clock and hold him all the time and try to make things "normal" for him. He never once had a paci or bottle or supplement of any kind and he has gained a whole pound over his birth weight already! 
DH had to fly back here in the middle of his trip - and my girls were very upset and couldn't understand where I was and where the baby was and why we weren't home after 1 night like I had promised - but everything is going back to normal now.
Gotta run but will post entire birth story & pics later - and can't wait to catch up on all the posts and hear about all the other babes!!!!
