Yesterday morning Julie had a doctor's appointment and as she was strapped to the monitor, she started having contractions. Nothing too big, or frequent, so they sent her home. Well, the contractions increased and we decided to have to the hospital to have them checked out. Long story short, they decided to go ahead with the c-section. A hour or two later, we were greeted with this little face...
ALEXANDRA LILLIAN MANN
6 pounds 13 ounces
Mom and baby are doing great. Julie didn't get the post c-section shakes and nausea this time and is recovering well. Little Alexandra had a little low blood sugar, but a little formula jumped her back up to a good amount. Little 'grunty' with the breathing now and then, but no worries. Oxygen levels were all normal. Just trying to clear out all the fluid on her little lungs.
Spencer spent the evening with his friend Grace (see post below) and our new friends Ira and Christy Owens. They saved us and we owe them a huge debt for helping us when we needed it. They're the best!
More pictures to come, Spencer and I are getting ready for his first visit to see his new sister!
