Sorry I been M.i. a something was wrong with my memory card.
I had been in and out of the hospital since the beginning of December. In that time I found out she was on the smaller side, also received steroid shots twice for her lung development. I had been going to L&D 3x a week for NST and doplars to make sure the blood flow from the umbilical cord to the baby was adequate. At one of those appointments my blood pressure was elevated and no matter what they did it just wouldn't go down this was Feb 2. I managed to keep her in 5 days more (27 wks 6 days) Feb 7. I was feeling very crappy and on top of it my heart rate was in the mid to high 40's sometimes dropping into the high 30's. They decided to give me magnesium to help with blood pressure. Throughout all of this baby's just fluttering along and doing her own thing. I on the other hand am miserable as HELL and begging for it to be over. I threw up one time and the force of me throwing up made me think my water had broken but nope I had just peed myself!! After a couple hours of misery, finally got my blood pressure down, but my heart rate was still dipping- they decide it's delivery time. 40 mins later being wheeled into the OR where it took anesthesia about 20 mins to get the epidural in, they stuck me like 3-4 times!!! Finally it was in and now we're waiting on it to do its job Another 5-10 mins go by and I'm numb. Time to get the husband. I'm laying there with a heap of thoughts going through my head trying to hold it together cuz lord knows I'm just one pulled thread from unraveling. I feel all this tugging and pressure I just wanted to blurt out how much longer but I was patient. As much I wanted to meet her I wish she could have waited a while longer. At 12:42 pm on Feb 2, 2019 weighing a whopping 1lb 9.4 oz, 12" long, head cir of 9 cm Lejla (Layla) Nia Stewart came into the world literally kicking and screaming!!!!
She is doing very well, she's on room air high nasal flow cannula, she's getting 7 ml of breast milk every 3 hrs tolerating them well. She weighs 1 lb 11 oz now. And I'm just so thankful that she's chugging along!
I’m so happy to hear!! Keep us updated!
Congratulations!! How is she doing?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
