Oliver Vaughn Woods

Well we are a family of 4! Oliver was born February 18th! We had a scheduled c-section so we went in at 5:00 am and he was born at 7:13 am. He was 7lbs5oz and 20" with lots of dark hair! he came out crying and all was well we got up to the room and he started grunting a little bit. They finally decided they better check his sugar and it was low (37). So away to the NICU he went. From the minute my spinal was done, I was throwning up, me and medication don't do well together. It was miserable, I don't think I've ever been so sick. Randan picked his name. I wasn't sold on it and whenever I would come up with another name Randan would turn his nose up. He told me I could name him whatever I wanted but he was still going to call him Oliver :) So we came to the conclusion that we should just name him Oliver, haha. Randan named both our kids. Vaughn is my dads middle name and my grandpas first name. 2 amazing men that I am proud to name my son after! They put in an IV and was giving him stuff for his sugar as well as being on a little high flow. The high flow was weaned quickly and we were just waiting on his sugar. before every feeding they would check it and if it was above 50 they would turn the IV down a bit. Thursday night around 9:00 the IV was off and he needed 2 good sugars. We got the 2 good sugars at 3am and we were ready to get discharged. I called Randan and had him bring the car seat for the car seat test and at noon on Friday we were on our way home! Emma hated me and Oliver being at the hospital, she wanted to meet her baby brother so bad! And of course she got a cold on Thursday, so we haven't let her love on him too much since being home. It has been so good to be home and we love the little guy more than imaginable. There is nothing sweeter than a newborn baby, and there is no greater blessing than being a mom!
