Carrick James Insalaco
June 20, 2011
5 lbs 12 oz
19 1/2 inches
and cute as can be!
 wellllll, he is here! and he decided to come early!
on monday i went in for my 36 week lung maturity amnio and it out my right in to labor.
it was seriously unexpected and we were thrown in to another emergency sort of situation.
not my favorite.
but, we are here and we are okay!
carrick is in the NICU because his lungs were immature and he has needed some help but we are on the upswing!
he is off the ventilator and on a c-pap (which is a high pressure oxygen mask) as well as under sunbed light for jaundice.
as soon as he is on a low-flow oxygen mask then we can start nursing and when he has that down, he can come home!
thats basically the short version on the past 6 days but i thought id fill you in.
we are completely in love with our little carrick and cant wait, CANT WAIT for him to come home and snuggle!
