Title: My Teeny-Tiny Baby...
Post by: eskimo2 on February 11, 2005, 07:27:19 PM
We were expecting our baby to come around May 19th.  My wife’s water broke on Monday night however; so now we are looking at any day or maybe a couple of weeks, if we are lucky.  She’s in the hospital all drugged up on magnesium; contractions have stopped.  We were told that there was a 75% chance of delivering within the first three days.  Its day four now and things are pretty calm.  The chance of survival has already climbed from 70% to 90%.  The odds of serious complications, however, are more frightening, but getting better everyday.  On Tuesday, the Ultrasound indicated that the baby weighed 1 lbs 15 oz.  The specialist said that it is probably putting on ½ an ounce a day.  We have declined all offers to learn the sex of the baby.  Grow baby, grow!

Some friends of ours just had their daughter premature. She was born at 25 1/2 weeks and weighed just 682 grams and is now off the feeding tubes in her belly (now they are in her arm). The biggest thing for this little one was the prospect of bleeding on the brain and they have passed that hurdle with good thoughts and prayers.

So Eskimo I hope all things turn out great and I hope your little one GROWS. My prayers are with you my friend. Keep the faith in whatever you believe and I will pass this along to my friends who just had their little girl.
