He is here!!!

On Wednesday Sheldon and I were planning to attend his uncle's funeral and then go to the doctor's appointment later that afternoon. We went but we were faced with a small problem. I was having contractions every 5 minutes the whole day. I promised Sheldon I would make it at least to the appointment then if I couldn't handle it we might need to go up to the hospital to get something to help with the pain. At the doctor's we were told that Nixxon was doing great and he gave me some medication and to go home and take a warm bath. If that didn't help with the contractions to come up to the hospital and we might just have Nixxon that night. After doing what was directed Abbie and I were on our bed and watched "Nemo". I started to fall asleep and right before I was out here came a contraction. It didn't work but the cute thing was Abbie would say, "Ok Ma Ma?" How cute is that. After about an hour and a half they became 4 minutes apart and more painful. Sheldon, what a wonderful and awesome hubby, took me up to the hospital and checked in. The doctor said ok lets get her ready for the c-section. This one was way different from the time we had one with Abbie. This time I felt everything, getting the epidural and pressure in the c-section, that last time. He was a month early and so we knew there were possibilities of him having problems. He did have a hard time breathing so he was put in the NICU to help inflate his lungs and help him breath better. He is doing better and they finally took the ventilator out and he is doing better. They are going to feed him today and see how he does. We get to go back down to try and feed him from a bottle, depending on how he did earlier, this afternoon. I am way excited. We will keep ya posted on how he progresses with everything. I am doing good and will probably be able to go home either Saturday night or Sunday, depending on what the doctor says tomorrow morning. Over all Sheldon and I are having the hardest time not being able to see him when ever we wanted because with Abbie she was in our room the whole time. With Nixxon he had all these tubes and it really scared me at first. When i went over to see him Thursday they had to move his I.V. which was hard to see them poking him, even when it is for the best, and they had to put it in his head. OUCH! We are glad he is doing ok but we know when I get to leave he won't be coming home with us. Sad but at least he is in great hands and will be doing great. Here are pictures of Nixxon.
