Sleepwalking

 Amanda was so far along at the hotel that she felt like I was going to have to deliver baby Lopez there. We thought delivery would be kind of quick when we arrived but a barrage of different doctors and conversations about post delivery procedures for baby quickly stalled Amanda’s progress. And she was absolutely exhausted so she has been working through surges all night while sleeping in between them. She’s getting a second wind and still working through it!

So far so good

 We stayed with Remi for hours in NICU and she was already off the cpap and breathing normally. They were just finishing the echo cardiagram and so far they think the aorta arch is looking good! They can’t fully confirm until the PDA (patent ductus arteriosus) closes in a day or two. So there’s a possibility she might move to the regular nursery and be with us tomorrow. On Monday, she’ll get a full exam and monitoring to confirm 100% if the coarctation of the aorta is present or not. If the preliminary tests continue to show we’re in the clear, we may be able to take her home on Monday night!

 After 50 hours of labor, Amanda delivered Remi Nova Lopez like a boss at 1:58pm under a full moon. She weighed in at 7lbs 7oz and was 20 inches tall.  We only had a few minutes of skin to skin because Remi had a lot of fluid in her lungs and needed a CPAP. We’re waiting to go see her in the NICU. And later she’ll have her EKG to evaluate the possible co-arctation.

The start

Amanda has been having sporadic surges (contractions) the last few days and has felt baby really shift down. But this morning, she started with signs of early labor. So we’re heading over to NY Presbyterian Children’s hospital shortly. Stay tuned. :)
