Jenn: June 2008 Archives

I went into labor yesterday at about 5:15, and within 2 hours, Madeline Sophia Beaver was born. She weighed 5lbs 11ozs and was 19 inches long.  She's currently in the NICU and will likely be here for a week or so.  She had some blood sugar issues and a possible infection, but they're treating her with antibiotics and IV sugar solution.  She's eating well and maintaining her body temperature, so she'll likely be moved to an open crib later today.  She's doing really well for a 34 weeker and never required supplemental oxygen due to the betamethasone shots that I received a couple of weeks ago.
