Hey Paulie

Any updates?

It was probably the scariest experience for both of you but she did everything right and did save your baby's life. If mom is not feeling the baby move or if movement has decreased noticably it needs to be checked out, sooner rather than later.

(I evaluate a lot of moms with decreased movement, sometimes its nothing, other times there is something going on)

32 weekers generally have an exellent prognosis for normal development long term. (even as young as 28 weeks depending on the reason for early delivery)

Hang in there. I am thinking about all three of you.

If you don't mind my asking, what prompted the early delivery? Cord problem? Infection? Unknown?

I like Leah, wife prefers Jillian.

Wife had her 38th week appt this morning. Baby's estimated at about 7lbs 9oz. Got some good ultrasound photos for the scrapbook.
Also, wife got the doctor's note to stop working. I'm jealous... Good thing I got a list of chores for her to do... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

She could be born during the Superbowl. I was really hoping I could watch my Patriots in the birthing room, but it was not to be...

LOL. I have had it happen a few times where dads are more into the sporting event on the tube than coaching mom.

One delivery, a preemie delivery, so the OB, neonatologist, dad and the nurses were all pretty preoccupied with I believe a college basketball final, while mom is huffing and puffing, but also watching the game between pushes. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

sex TBD

Anyone care to share their thoughts about finding out the baby's sex? We're leaning towards finding out.

[/ QUOTE ]

Only find out if you REALLY don't care what sex it is. When you see it, you will love it no matter what and won't care; but if you find out it is a girl and want a boy (or vice versa) you will be disappointed (if only for a moment) and that's no fun.

Well Isabella Marie was born 2 days early on Tuesday the 22nd at 10:45 p.m. It was a pretty fast birth which lasted 3 hours with no complications or problems what so ever. She is 8 lbs 13 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long with a full head of hair. Sorry no pictures for now because I haven't been home yet where the plugs for the camera are. I'll edit later this week to include pictures.

After the birth she was checked for spina bifida (they thought during our first ultrasound that the spine wasn't enclosed properly and she had a lemon shaped head which after a specialist did a more in depth ultrasound found to be no worries). Mommy and the baby will have to stay in the hospital 48 hours for observation because they both have O negative blood, which from what I could comprehend after no sleep and trying to keep up with the explanation, the blood cells may think certain things in the body are infections and try to kill it off, but is just routine for people with that type of blood.

All in all it went great and is the most amazing thing to ever experience. Nothing could or will ever compare.

So in about 16 years you can find or write to me at the local penitentiary as that will probably be around the time my daughter brings home some guy that will inevitably drive me crazy.

Also this is my second child (I also have a 3 year old boy). Just seen that it said #1 in the list.

Good luck and congrats to the parents to be on the list and future parents.

Hmm my computer must have saved a friends account on here, so this is Johnwit I'm next on the list [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Congrats!

My wife wants to know the secret to a 3 hour labor with an 8+ pound kid.
Please discuss with your wife and report back. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

LOL I will. She also had a 45 min. nap. I better stop before I get a bunch of wives coming to beat up the new mommy.
