Pregnancy: After Infertility Community

Sorry I'm so late posting the birth story ladies!!
Friday the 13th we had a regularly scheduled doctor's appointment at 11AM and had already had an induction scheduled for Wednesday the 18th. The morning of the doctor's appointment I had been having consistent contractions every 3-5 minutes, but they weren't painful so we didn't go to the hospital, just went to the appointment. Doc sent us to the hospital to be monitored after checking me to find that I was still 4cm about 90%. Hospital monitored the regular contractions for a few hours and then (since they still weren't painful) doc decided to break my water to get things going, and said we may need to augment with pitocin.
As soon as he broke my water (DH came back into the room from getting the bag from the car, my mom was there with me) I had a monster of a contraction and the baby's heart rate dropped FAST... the cord had come out (prolapsed) and his head was pressing on it, completely cutting off his oxygen and everything. The nurses freaked! One climbed into bed with me and held his head off the cord and the others were screaming through the hallway "Prolapse cord!!! Get the NICU to the OR NOW!" Luckily my doctor was still there and calmly told me what had happened and apologized that I had to have a c-section... right now. They immediately took me to the operating room for an emergency c-section and all in all, Doc had the baby out 8 minutes after he had broken my water.
Since I hadn't had an epidural (and there was no time once the cord came out) I was put under general anesthetic and doc used a "classical" (vertical) incision. Surprisingly, baby Kellan came out at 138pm as healthy as any normal baby with no signs of the stress that he endured for the 8 minutes between water breaking and him being pulled out 6 lbs 7 oz, 20.5 inches long and scored 9 on the apgar scale immediately after birth.
I didn't wake up from the anesthesia until about 6pm and got to see DH (who my mom had kept calm while I was in surgery), my mom, my dad (who my mom had called to come keep her calm because she was internally freaking out), and DH's parents (who he had called in). I finally got to see little Kellan Robert about 7 and my memory of that evening is very sketchy though I started to remember more about the surgery after getting home (lots of screaming... made me feel very bad for DH). In another surprise twist, Kellan took to breast feeding very well and we haven't had to supplement with formula since we left the hospital. He was in the NICU for less than a day for low sugar, but after the IV glucose he tested normal for the next 12 hours.
Since his b-day we got his results from a panel of blood tests they run on babies and his thyroid is completely inactive (hypothroidism) So this past Wednesday we started him on medication, which he takes fairly well mixed with breast milk out of a syringe, and we go for follow up levels next Wednesday.
