Kims Baby Boy is Here!!
Hi all.
For those of you who don't know I'm Kim's lil sis and I just read these message boards but don't really contribute.
There is a short post in Kim's pregnancy thread saying basically what this post says.
Kim went to a specalist appt on Tues and ended up being admitted for pain she was having. Tues nite at about 2am she woke up with chest pain and then they did an ECG and CTG and found she was having contractions. She can't go into labour because of 3 previous caesers. The contractions stopped mid morning but they decided to deliver him anyway.
Timothy Charles was born at 2.51pm weighing 3326g (7lb5oz). He got stuck on the way out and it took about 5 minutes for them to get his head out. Kim saw him for a few minutes and then he was whicked off to newborn unit because he wasn't breathing how he should be. He swallowed meconeum while coming out.
Kim hasn't been able to see him since because she was not mobile yesterday. Simon and I are heading up soon and going to get her mobile and down to see him. He should be back with her sometime today. As of last night he was on IV drip, antibiotics, CPAP. Hopefully he should be off CPAP this morning.
Will let you know more after I've been up there today.
Will post some pics once we get the camera back home. (It is up at hospital)

Have not long got back from the hospital. Kim is ok in pain but sh eis walking around etc which is good.
Timothy was taken off CPAP this morning and IV drip. He is only on antibiotics now. He is still in NICU but will hopefully be out of there tomorrow - just have to get feeding sorted.
Kim got to have lots of cuddles today which was awesome.
Haven't got camera so can't post pics sorry.

Congratulations Kim and welcome to the world Timothy
Very glad to hear that Timothy is off CPAP and that things are improving.
What a scary experience, some of these babies certainly like to create drama for thier poor parents
Hugs to you and you little one
