Surprise Micah Sheldon Carson is early


Please click post title to see Micah's hospital photo! The page password is our last name.

He caught everyone off guard by arriving 4 weeks early. My water broke about 9:45 AM Wednesday morning. We arrived at the hospital at about 11:00 AM. By 3:00 PM the doctor was confident that my water had truly broken and that I was in labor. After 26 hours of labor my doctor decided that for the safety of Micah and myself that a C-section was the best way for me to safely deliver, due to my cervix failing to progress in labor. I dilated to 6.5 cm and stayed there for over five hours. By 1:00 PM I was scheduled for surgery.

Micah's stats:

Micah was delivered at 2:10 PM on 7/27/06 at HEB Harris Methodist Hospital. He weighed 5 pounds 12 ounces, and length is 17.5 inches

Mom and baby are doing excellent and were released early and were back at home by Saturday evening. More updates will follow soon.
