Q: I Had the Baby

I had elijah on 1/15. I was in labor for 18 hours and pushed for about an hour or so. When he finally came out he had the cord around his neck 2 times. His apgar's were 1 and 8. He's doing fine now (except making me deathly tired).

Congrats hun. Im glad everything is okay for the both of you. Esp. Since the cord was doubled wrapped. Did your baby need any help with oxygen or anything

He took about 5 min. At least to breathe and turn pink. I didn't get to hold him for the longest time. He has his first doctors appointment today.

It was so difficult for the first week but now I think being his mom is the greatest thing in the world. I never wanted kids and now I wouldn't change it for the world. I have to say he's the cutest baby i've ever seen. Haha.
