He's here! Quinn West was born at 11:18 AM today. He weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 18 1/2 inches long.
I came to the hospital this morning for an amniocentesis and the ultrasound tech couldn't find a good pocket of fluid for the doc to place the needle. Then doc asked for an AFI (amniotic fluid index). It was 3.6! Crazy - I was just checked by ultrasound on Tuesday this week and my fluid was fine.
So...we went ahead with the c-section because of low fluid - the same reason I had one with Hadley. Luckily my placenta made it 4 weeks longer than the last.
Things are going well. Quinn finally latched on well about an hour ago and fed. The first couple of attempts were not that successful, but that's pretty normal.
We've got visitors here so I'll post again tomorrow.
