Welcome our newest addition, Miss Bonnie Ruthann Margot Dupree. Born on April 29th, at 4:56pm. She weighed 9#9oz and was 20.5” long. She had a bit of a rocky start, my labor was so quick the contractions didn’t have time to squeeze the excess amniotic fluid from her lungs so she had to be sent to the NICU to get her lungs vacuumed out twice. I pushed her out in leas than five minutes and her head was out on the second push. Her right shoulder got stuck and she had a bit of a shoulder dystocia from it. We were in the hospital for a total of just shy of five days. Once we got to our postnatal room she ended up failing her glucose test twice, she then had to pass it four times in a row, she failed her hearing test six times in her right ear before passing it with flying colors on the seventh try, and finally her bilirubin levels were an 11 (very high risk jaundice) so she had to be put on 24/7 double phototherapy for two days straight. It was absolutely exhausting, but she is a great eater, and is sleeping great! We’ve been home for just over a week now, and I feel complete. My daughter is head-over-heels in love with her, and our littlest girl is beyond loved.
