night, Sept 17th and at barely 26 weeks, I was contracting every
two minutes. In the past 10 days I have gone from the labor and
delivery wing to the APU to the ICU back to labor and delivery
wing. I've been mag toxic, contracted pnemonia, gained 20 pounds,
lost 25 pounds and haven't had more than two hours of straight
sleep yet. It has been a crazy two weeks but we've been able to
keep Cameron in, so it's all been worth it. We are at 27 weeks and
2 days, trying to make it to at least 30 weeks. He just can't wait
to be born though. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. Keep
thinking "Keep Cameron in!"
Dana and Nancy were my two favorite recurring L&D nurses. They started the "Keep Cameron in" catchphrase.
Here's Mike the first night. He got to sleep on that sweet looking cot in the corner.
Here I am the second night. Still in L&D and looking pretty 'normal'.
Here's where things started to go downhill. They moved me to the Antipartum unit and within 6 hours I was on a bipap machine and had about 25 pounds of swelling.
In the ICU, but still trying to stay positive. I got to wear that attractive mask for 36 hours straight. No breaks at all.
