So, we were just at the hospital visiting Adalyn for her Hands On at 11a, and as we were walking through the parking garage to the hospital, there was an EXTREMELY pregnant woman thoroughly enjoying her cigarette!
Really?? Am I on What Would You Do from ABC? Of course I didn't say anything because I didn't have time (had to make it to Adalyn's). I just don't think that I've seen a VERY pregnant woman so blatantly enjoying a smoke. DH and I just couldn't really believe it.
As far as Adalyn, her chest X-ray today was much improved, as well as her blood gases, per the MD and they are going to push her even a little more so that hopefully she can be off the vent in the next couple of days. Woo-hoo! She is also up to 860g (1 pound 14 ounces) and is tolerating her feeds very well.
Thank you for all your T&Ps!
Re: Really??? Also, quick Adalyn update
Omgosh...I am not really a confrontational person but I think that lady smoking might have sent me over the edge! Who does she think she is?
Yay for positive news on Adalyn!
Yeay Adalyn!!!
Wow That's upsetting about the pregnant lady though!
Yeah for Adalyn!
I dont know what I would do re: the smoking. Probably mutter something insulting under my breath and keep walking. I'm so not confrontational in situations like that.
Awesome news about Adalyn!!! Yay! So so so happy she is progressing! Hoping you get to hold her soon!
Yeah, the pregnant smoking lady would have sent me over the edge. What the hell is wrong with people? That poor little baby...

I love seeing great updates on Adalyn!
As for the pregnant lady smoking....I am sure a very loud "wow, some people as really stupid" comment might have been made to my dh while walking by.
Hooray! And she's almost 2 pounds so you can hold her soon!
Continued T&P!
And the smoking preggo lady is just crazy talk!
Ugh, some people. So glad to hear Adalyn is doing well!
Glad your baby girl is doing well!
And woman who smoke while pregnant make me angry. Qutting while pregnant with the advisement of your doctor is one thing (making it gradual) but not even trying and still smoking by the end is horrible. To me that said you didn't even try.
She's a little champion girl. Based on our 1 ounce a day gain, you should be holding her in no time!
I'm not confrontational at all but the smoking lady would have bugged me big-time.
I actually met a woman who STARTED smoking once she got pregnant. She was on several hard drugs when she got pregnant and she stopped all of them, but said she still needed something. I was so angry that she wouldn't just take responsibility for what she was doing.
I never say it to people, but I strongly feel that if you can't protect your child when your pregnant, it's a reflection of the kind of uncaring, irresponsible, worthless parent you'll be once it's here. It's too easy to take care of your unborn child. What's going to happen once they're here and a LOT more difficult?
That's so disturbing to hear! You would think most women would be able to quit for atleast 9 months for the well-being of their unborn child.
I am new to this board, so am just learning of your little Adalyn. She sounds like a fighter! Sending thoughts and prayers your way!
1) OMGWTFBBQ!
2) Congrats on the chest x-ray!
