Carter

Carter was born on October 1st, weighing in at 6lbs 15oz and was 20in long. He spent 12 days in the NICU and is at home with his family finally and doing very well. He was born way to fast and had fluid on his lungs because of it, which was the original reason he was sent to the NICU. The people in the NICU gave him some oxygen for maybe a day and some antibiotics through an IV for a couple of days. He spent most of his time in the NICU because he couldn't eat fast enough, which is due to mom being gest diabetic. A requirement to leave the NICU is the baby has to eat atleast 50ml in 20 minutes. Babies born to mothers who had gest diabetes eat slower than normal babies.





the right foot has his oxygen reader on it and the left foot has his IV in it, you can't really see the IV the nurses had it covered so the other foot doesn't kick at it and pull the IV out.
