Daylen Keith Lemons arrived by C-Section on November 3, 2009. He was born at 4:48 pm and weighed 9 lbs. 5 ozs. He wasn't quite as big as they had originally thought. He was 20 3/4 inches long!! He had a full head of hair which was no surprise to us since Darren had his first haircut at 2 weeks old. We were able to go home on Saturday, November 7th. I had developed high fever and blood pressure while in the hospital. So I was put on an IV drip for an infection and given blood pressure medicine. Thankfully my fever and blood pressure went down long enough to release us from the hospital. However, as soon as I got home Saturday night my fever went up to 102.2!! Thankfully my Mom stayed the night to help take care of Daylen.
Darren and I have been adjusting to life with a newborn. He goes for his 1 month check up on Tuesday, right after my 1 month check up. I haven't been released to drive or play sports yet, so hopefully I am released on Tuesday. Daylen weighed 10 lbs. 1 oz. at his 2 week check up so we'll see how much he weighs now.
