Kaelin Elizabeth O'Neill was born yesterday, July 1, 2009 at 2:57pm! At birth, she weighed6.15lbs and was about 20 inches long.
At our scheduled ultrasound and appointment on Tuesday, the ultrasound tech was only able to find 4.6cm of fluid. So we were sent to the office for a non-stress test, which Kaelin passed with flying colors! Great heart rate and lots of movement. We left the office with strict instructions to drink gallons of water and to return again for another ultrasound the following day.
On Wed am, my dad and Linda came to pick me up and bring me to NWH, since everyone was afraid for me to drive by myself. We met Kevin at the hospital and unfortunately the tech was unable to find any pockets of fluid. That brought us straight upstairs to the maternity ward, where it was decided that Kaelin would be delivered via c-section as soon as possible. Within hours, we were in the operating room!
Kaelin did very well during the whole procedure. She did have some trouble transitioning her breathing once she arrived, so she has spent the first 24 hours of her life in the special care nursery. Daddy has been able to visit Kaelin often and has taken tons of pictures to share with everyone. This morning, Mommy was able to feed Kaelin for the first time!
Kaelin was able to meet her Grandma and Papa Wayne and also her Grandpa and Mimi Linda within an hour after she was born. She also got to meet her uncle Brian a few hours later! Everyone agreed that she was beautiful! She is looking forward to meeting her Grammy and Grandpop O'Neill tonight!
