My Rainbow Made An Early Arrival *UPDATED*
Saturday morning at 11;37AM, I delivered my 2lb 1oz baby girl at 28+3 weeks due to PPROM. She is now 5 days old and on the lowest setting on CPAP and is already on breastmilk. I am so proud of my daughter but also scared. We lost our son Carter at 20 weeks do to unexplained preterm labor on Feb 3. We conceived twins just 2 weeks later, but didn't find out we were pregnant again until I was 5 weeks. At 10 weeks, our Baby A had a strong heartbeat and was right on track! Unfortunately, our Baby B (whom we named Avery), had no heartbeat, and was only measuring about 7 weeks. We were devestated. We decided we didn't want to know the sex of Baby A until birth, as we were given a 30% chance of even making it to 24 weeks. Between 12&14 weeks, my membrane ruptured. I spent a week on hospital bed rest at 24 weeks. At 25 weeks I was able to go home on strict bedrest. At 28 weeks and 2 days I was addmitted again to the hospital. This time, my contractions wouldn't stop.
Addie is doing well, considering. The nurse said she is bound to "hit rock bottom", which is super hard to hear. I hope with her big brother and her twin watching over her, she will just soar right out of here.
Possitive (and negative) stories would be nice<3
Update 9.7.14- Addie is back on the vent.. The drs think she has an infection from her ubmilical line

I wonder what your nurse meant about rock bottom? We had a roller coaster ride of ups and downs but I don't know about rock bottom. Maybe some of the bigger scares with regard to possible infections/NEC. The first couple weeks were definitely the worst just because it was all new and scary.
I hope your NICU stay is short and uneventful and your daughter quickly moves on to be a grower feeder!
