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!
