A Few Pics and A Little Explanation

Here are a few pics of C and his supporting cast! The reason the doctor decided to take the him by c-section is that his heart rate was consistently high (around 175-180) and V was not far enough along to show signs of him being born on his own. If we would have tried to wait, there would have been a chance of heart failure. The increased heart rate also indicated that C might have a fever (which he did when he was born, but it's since gone back to normal) which could mean infection. His initial test results showed a low white blood cell count, but his second test showed his count was normal. He's eating well, moving well and looking great!

V is doing well; she got up for the first time a while ago and is sitting in a chair now-a good sign. While she looks great, I don't want to post a picture of her just yet and run the risk of of being slapped when she gains more mobility!
