28 weeks 3 days

So I am 28 weeks today and second milestone reached. I am so thankful to be here and God really does take care of his own. Hospital appointment yesterday and baby weighs in at 2lb 10 ounces and everything on ultrasound looks good. Did a few online baby shopping and got loads of beautiful baby clothes, essentials and toys. My hospital bag is packed . My obgyn doesn't think I'll make it to 37 weeks but she really doesn't know what my God is capable of. At 28 weeks baby has an over 80% survival rate and few risks of disability. With 28 weeks reached, my next milestone is 37 weeks not  32 weeks anymore. So looking forward to taking my baby home. Trust and Believe God with me.

26 weeks 5 days

Thank God baby is still baking. God is truly mighty and awesome. My lil bubba is growing and my bump is getting bigger. Still on bed rest and taking it easy. My next goal is 28 weeks and I have faith that God will get me there. With any high risk pregnancy, even normal pregnancy symptoms such as back pain, cramps  are magnified and I get scared or think my cervix is opening or I am contracting. I realise I am letting fear into this situation which isn't what I want.

I have been shopping for bubba and got a few blankets, toys, teethers and clothes and I have to say it was fun especially when spending my hubby's money. lol! I also had to purchase Sophie the giraffe just an all round great teether for lil bubba's gums.

Also here is a pic of my bump

 

 

Thanks for visiting and see you all soon.x

24 weeks and some........

I am 24 weeks and 3 days today and I am so grateful that my lil bubba is now viable and will have a chance at survival if he were to make an early appearance but I really don't want that. Having had a 24 weeker previously I know first hand the challenges that come with having an extremely premature baby. I wouldn't wish it on anyone and it forever changes your outlook on life and you get to see things from a different perspective. You appreciate each and every milestone your baby takes from weighing 1kg, to moving to Cpap, to moving from the incubator to an insulated cot. You get to appreciate everyday not knowing what challenges your baby could be facing tomorrow from infections, sleep apnea, not tolerating feeds, not being able to maintain body temperature, the list is endless.

I am still on strict bed rest. Listening to Joyce Meyer as I blog. I am reading, shopping, sleeping, eating, talking on the phone and just making sure that I am getting as much pelvic rest as possible. I am still steadfast in my prayers and hoping and praying to bring my baby home with me in April. I have prayed and I know God is still into performing wonders and miracles which is what I know he will do. So my next obstetrician appointment is next Tuesday to have a growth scan and just discuss general well being. Looking forward to that as going out is such a luxury these days:).

Happy New Year All and I hope 2013 will be your best year ever!
