Resilient Little Man 💙

My second son was born fairly quickly.

From the time the doctor walked in and said it was time to push to the time he was born, it was less than 20 minutes.

I only pushed for 13 minutes, actually.

While birth was fairly quick and painless for me, my little one wasn't so lucky.

He suffered some facial bruising, which led to latching issues.

He also broke his clavicle (collar bone), which didn't seem to bother him too much unless he was in a side laying position.

He also swallowed some amniotic fluid, which filled his belly and made him not want to eat, so he to have a tube put down to his little belly to have the fluid sucked out.

Ultimately, he healed up well and now is happy as a clam (:
