So this has been a long time coming!! I've wanted to start a blog for Xander since he came home in August of 09, just got caught up in being a first time mama and never got around to doing a blog..Xander has came a long way since his early arrival last year..Long story short, I was diagnosed with IC(incompetent cervix) at 20 weeks, went on hospital bedrest at 24 and delivered our bundle of joy at 27 weeks..Xander was born at 3 am on the nose at 2 lbs 5 ozs and was 13 1/2 inches long!! Big boy!! He was so tiny and thus started our NICU ride of crazyness! When X was first born he was ventilated for about 3 hours and then moved to the bubble cpap..I fortunately recieved to rounds of steroids that helped his little lungs! Xanders stay for a 27 weeker was about the best it could of been..He was on the vent for three hours..cpap for 5 weeks..high flow nasal cannula for 2 weeks then low flow for a week then off all o2 for good!! He had to get two red blood cell packet transfusions for anemia, bili lights, a nec and sepsis scare..X came home after 65 days in the NICU on August 26th 2009..He weighed 6lbs 8 ozs and hasn't looked back..X now at 9 months actual/ 6 adjusted weighs 21 lbs and is 28 inches long!!! I will post more on our journey soon, hopefully I get the hang of this!!
