Prayers for my girls

Ive never been one to ask for anything from anyone, especially strangers from the Internet but I know first hand how many great people are on this site everyday so if u have the time please send a prayer for my baby girl Summer and her mom Ashley . Ashley and myself are proud first time parents as of yesterday,long story short we planned a natural birth with no medication the plans got tossed out the window Ashley had a c section after 30 hours trying to induce labor she never really could start contracting very well and never dilated over 4 cm so we decided a c section the safest option for baby so after the long inducing period didn’t work we went to the operating room at 4 am and by 445 we had a 10 pound 8ounce big healthy baby girl our first child ,we couldn’t have been more overjoyed ,although that elation was short lived and replaced by fear and wonder the baby was born with low blood sugar so they took her right away to start sugar gel feedings to raise the sugar level that didn’t work as they hoped so they had to take our girl into the nic u to put a iv so she could get to the proper blood sugar level she’s doing fine but still Down in the nic u for monitoring levels her moms having a tough time recovering from the c section and it’s harder on her having to go from post pardum room down to the nic u to see and breastfeeding baby every couple hours I’m sure everything will be fine they tell us it’s not uncommon to have a sugar baby , also want to thank and give praise to all doctors and nurses out there u are truly angels especially down in nic u

Done.. I hope everyone is well

Thoughts and prayers are with you! Congratulations! It just gets crazier from here! Our first will turn 1 on the 4th of July and it has been a crazy year! We also had plans of a natural birth that didn’t go according to plan. But that’s just not something you get to plan, it happens how it happens.

Don’t have momma rush anything. Those csections really are brutal on them and their maternal instincts kick in wanting to be with their baby when they should be resting. This where dad kicks in and do what you have to make her feel her baby is good and her same time. Those nurses are angels, can’t say enough about them.

Stay hydrated, eat, congrats poppa.

congrats !!!

Praying for your girls, and congratulations. My first was similar to yours. 20 hours of slow but tough labor, then a C-section. Make sure momma takes it easy!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. All three of my kids were c section. My youngest grandson was born without a diaphragm. He almost died before Mayo One arrived. Spent the first three months of his life in neonatal care with a breathing tube in his throat. Longest 90 days of my life. I’m choking up just writing this. I will pray for your family.

That’s a rough road to get side-tracked to. Prayers indeed for all of you. The neo-natal community has things down pretty much pat, so now’s the time to trust.

Well said Tom! Couldn’t have said it better myself. Childbirth seems quite terrifying to me, but medically speaking there’s never been a better time. Congrats to the new mom and dad, and before you know it you’ll all be at home enjoying baby snuggles and of course changing poopy diapers.

Keep the faith. Trust the professionals. Be strong for the girls, they need you now. Your time to rejoice is coming.

Sending prayers and positive thoughts to your entire family. You’re going to look back in a year and chuckle with your wife wondering how you did it. Being a father is the absolute best part of life. You will never love anything like you love that baby girl. Congrats buddy, and make sure you take care of your self too.

Congrats to you and your family. Sounds like things went sideways a little bit and hopefully everyone will be recovering soon enough. You’re right, it’s amazing what all the staff it takes to deliver a baby can do and they do it so well. Enjoy every minute, it goes so fast.

Thanks so much to everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. happy to Update,baby’s sugar level has leveled off at a safe level feedings are becoming easier and more regular next steps are slowly lowering her dosage through the iv and keep up the regular feedings we are hopefull she will continue to hold safe levels after she’s weened off the iv could happen as soon as tommoro which would mean she would be brought back in our post pardum room, moms had a tough few hours with some pretty bad cramps and shakes just a whole lot of pain and she’s very uncomfortable went throu a spell where she was really itchy . Luckily the hospital has donor breast milk because mom had a few good initial doses of milk but has temporarily dried up it seems doc says keep trying it will come can take a few days or more so we are very thankfull for the breast milk donors …last but not least sleep deprivation is a real thing couple hours of sleep a night is just not enough I’m sure it’ll b a lot easier when we get home and find a routine that works for us but adjusting to life ina hospital sucks at times . Oh yea hosptial food has about as much flavor as a dried turnip ..next to nothing taste good

Morel, your body will adjust to lack of sleep. Get used to it. The first few months will be tough, but so rewarding at the same time. You will never realize how much you can love another human as your child. Enjoy every minute of it, and help your wife as much as possible! Congrats!

Prayers to ,hoping for a complete recovery.

Congrats on your new fishing buddy

Yes thank you. That was nine years ago. The first year of a nine years that I didn’t fish.This weekend I am at my man cave on the river with my grandsons. Trying to relearn how to fish the river.
Glad to hear your girls are improving. We really don’t know how lucky we are until something drastic gets thrown into our lives.

Congrats on your new baby daughter. Thoughts and prayers for both of them.

Prayers sent. Hope everyone gets home soon. Home makes everyone more comfortable. Congrats.

Those two little boys in my avatar came almost 8 weeks early and spent 5 weeks in the NICU.

It’s amazing what is capable today.

When they were born I could’ve fit both of them in the front pocket of a hoodie with room to spare. Now they’re four years old and little monsters
