UPDATE** Birth Announcement!

jessicalynnmontes · March 2014

Just wanted to let all of my fellow bumpers know, Harrison was born on 3/26 at 8:21p PST. He weighed in at 1 lb 12 oz. He was 25 weeks and 3 days, but doing really well!

Just wanted to take the second and let you ladies know... if you think something feels different, it probably is. Luckily we were able to get in some steroid shots and magnesium for him before he was delivered... vaginally! Big surprise since most that young need a CS.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancies, and take it easy!

UPDATE***

Thank you all so much for your T & Ps! He is doing awesome! They took out his breathing tube and he is breathing on his own with a c-pap for back up just in case. He is handling his feedings well, and they even took out multiple other tubes they had through the umbilical cord. He is a trooper! Nothing but positive news so far and he is doing far better than they could have ever expected! All tests have come back normal, and nothing but good news to report. Hope you are all hanging in there! I will have a glass of champagne for you all

Oh my goodness, what a tiny little guy!! Congrats! I'm so happy to hear he's doing well. I'll pray for him to continue doing so.

May I ask....what "felt different"? I'm a STM, so you'd think I would know.

I woke up Saturday night with some cramping. I downloaded a quick app on my phone because it seemed like my cramps were coming in and out in a pretty timely manner, but of course I would fall back asleep in between. Decided to give the doctor a call and they said to come in just in case. Sure enough, contractions. They tried to stop my labor for about 2-3 days, but he was coming regardless!

I just knew my body didn't feel right, so I went with my instincts!

Makes sense. Those cramps can be so scary...especially when they turn out to be contractions!! I'm glad everyone is doing so well!!

I am so glad you two are ok. I hope his NICU saty is uneventful. You are his biggest advocate so stay strong. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You already know how strong he is making it through a vaginal delivery, but he will totally surprise everyday with how strong he really is.
