It's Too Soon

I'm typing this from my iPhone so please excuse my typos and punctuation...I have a hard time with both on a good day :)

Today is 32 weeks 3 days and I've been admitted with pre term labor. We came in last night and sure enough, the cramping I thought was no big deal actually is a big deal! We are doing everything we can to to try and stop things and have been given the first steroid shot to help mature baby's lungs. Second dose is 9 pm tonight. Ultrasound this morning or afternoon to check things out. 

Please send all the "stop contractions" vibes you can muster my way...this baby boy needs to stay put for a few more weeks. 

I will update when I can.

    Hoping for more baking time for baby boy! It's amazing what they can do in the hospital now, and I'm sure you are in great hands. So stressful! Stay in, little guy!

    Eek. Are you on mag? My mag posts were a bunch of gibberish. 32 weeks is definitely too early, but babies at 32 weeks have great outcomes, so take heart in that! And I know of many people who had a nice long hospital stay and delivered closer to 36 which is practically term. Big hugs. Good luck slowing things down! And if you have any questions or need any resources about pre-term labor or preemies, please let me know or check out Septemer/October 2012 on my blog.

    Ditto Mrs. Green Grass, you've already done so incredibly well to get to 32 weeks! I will keep you and your little guy in my prayers--I know it's not easy. I had zero cervix at 25 weeks and was dilated to 2 at 27 weeks after they stopped my preterm labor, but the twins didn't come until 36w1d. I hope your baby bakes even longer than that, but no matter what, 32 weeks is an awesome milestone. You've done an amazing job of carrying him to this point. I went on strict bedrest at 23 weeks and was in the hospital from 25-36 weeks, and I remember we all celebrated at 32--even (especially) the doctors :) xoxo

    Oh goodnees! I remember how overwhelmed I was getting similar news back in April; hang in there mama! I'm sending tons of vibes for baby boy to stay put 'til he's good and strong and ready to come, whenever that'll be. Hugs!

Keeping Secrets

I've been keeping a secret. I'm not even going to make you wait. I'm just going to come out and say it. I really don't like when people say, "Hey, I have news" and then ramble on for fifteen minutes about how they didn't know how to tell you, and would you like the good news or the bad news first. I mean, if you don't know how to tell me, then maybe you should have thought about it a little bit more before you brought it up, because now I'm just sitting here waiting while you find the perfect words to share news that...let's be honest...probably doesn't impact me in the slightest. And as for the good news/bad news question? What do you think? If you're really asking, I'd rather not hear the bad news at all. Because who wants to hear bad news? Unless it's just "bad" relative to the good news, but not really all that bad in its own right, well then I guess I wouldn't mind hearing it. And I might like to hear it first

Dilemma

Image
I’m having a bit of a dilemma. Which is putting it mildly. I am not sure whether to shut the factory down for good, or keep it chugging along in its pitiful, yet marginally functioning state. If things were normal, if *I* was normal (cue hysterical laughter here), then I might be happy to let things chug along as they were and see what happens. But things (my body and I) are far from normal and so I feel like I need to make a decision either way. Which really sucks and makes me feel a renewed sense of frustration, irritation and mourning for the sorry state of affairs of my reproductive bits. We recently had an appointment with our RE to discuss our options and see where we stand. It was great to touch base with Dr. L but as expected, nothing has really changed. My fertility has been on a fairly rapid decline and there's not much we can do to change that (FSH last tested at 20). It was good to hear that my tubes are open and that my uterus appears to be in good shape but despit

Start Spreading The News...

My trip to New York City was completely amazing but I'm not going to lie....the re-entry to life has been difficult this past two days. After 5 days away I thought I'd return refreshed and ready to jump back onto the work/life wagon...I was wrong. Is it Friday yet? The highlights of my trip were many. But first...I had a moment. When we made it to the hotel, the emotions that had been building the entire day and week came bursting out and I cried and cried. Oh, how I cried! Uncontrollable, sloppy, snotty bawling that pretty much claimed an entire box of tissues. You see, the morning that we left my period started...a full 5 days early. I was crushed. I was sure that this was THE cycle. My emotions got the better of me but I quickly re-grouped and a little voice chimed up saying, “Go splash water on your face and get out! Go and tackle your NYC bucket list head on” And tackle we did! In short, we took in two shows on Broadway, made a visit to the 9/11 Memorial, saw the Statue of
