hey everyone,
just checking in. Malachi Samuel Hall was born Tuesday night at 10:18. 7lbs. 5 oz. 20 1/2 in. I can't believe they let me go 28 hours after my water broke. Twice they almost did a c section--my blood pressure dropped to 80/30 and the other time Malachi's heartrate was almost out of control from too much pitocin. both were scary. He was taken to the NICU after he was born because his breathing still wasn't normal and he had a fever. they think his fever was from me having him bundled too much! the breathing problem was from too much mucus still in his lungs. They still have him on an IV of antibiotics so he is not staying with me in the room. I'm trying not to be bummed about it.

gotta finish my email.
