She is here! She is finally here and home!
I've been trying to write this since Thursday... Anyway. :-) Here goes.
Home... Finally home. Me and Alexandra got to go home on Wednesday. :-) Finally!
If you didn't understand it from my internet-silence, then I'll tell you.
Nerd Jr has finally been born.
Yes. Thursday night (or morning?) 9th of August at 00:35am I gave birth to a girl. A little girl that me and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
peting73 decided to name Alexandra.
It was one rushed delivery to. Even the midwifes and nurses there thought so and nicknamed Alexandra the racing-baby. :-)
Gonna spare you to many details, but... water broke at 1pm, first feeling of labor pains... 3pm. Labor pains coming close and steady, 7pm. At the hospitals maternity ward, 7:30pm. Fully opened (yes, there), 10pm. Alexandra out and born, 00:35am.
Apparently, as deliveries goes, that was quick! So once she decided she wanted to join us, she did so quickly our girl. :-)
Unfortunately she had an streptococcal infection when born. At first the nurses and Docs didn't know what it was, so they checked both her heart and her lungs, since she get didn't her oxygen out through her body properly. And she had to be taken to a intensive care unit for babies (where usually premature babies end up). Hence she couldn't stay with me, which was quite shocking and sad and depressing. Gladly though, there was nothing wrong with lungs or heart. Just the infection, so she got antibiotics for almost a week (we got a room at the hospital me and Alexandra so we could stay together), and then she was fine... and we could, finally, go home. :-)
Now we've been home since Wednesday. It's been a change, let me tell you. Our whole lives have been turned upside down. And in the center of it all, our girl... our Nerd Jr or Mini-viking. Our Alexandra.
It'll take time to get used to it all, but we are working on it. Together, us three. Well, five. There is the cats to that has been quite skeptical about this little tiny thing that makes so much noise that we brought home. They are slowly getting used to her though, and to have to share their time with us with Alexandra.
So if you miss me, or wonder where the hell I've gone to? Well... There's your answer. :-) I do keep up pretty will with Twitter and Plurk, so feel free to watch me there if you want. I am sorry for missing your entries and all, but right now I just don't have time to keep up. :-P At least not until we're all used to each other and have gotten a good schedule for us all.
Oh, and if you wanna see photos of our little miracle,peting73 created a journal for her. For all of you, and also since all my relatives are living in other towns. :-) (Oh, and he has posted a GORGEOUS photo of her in his own LJ... where she is only two hours old...)
So here it is. Alexandras LJ/photo-album:mini_viking. Go check it out! :-)
And tozeph317toho and to rule_number_7.... THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFTS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Not many babies that has such gorgeous gifts being sent to them from the other side of the world... THANK YOU!
