@afry613 is in L&D right now. She is 90% effaced and dilated 5-6 cm. looks like baby will be here today!!! Good luck labor buddy! FX for a smooth delivery!!
@AllyTheKid I've never been religious but I threw up so many prayers during my c-section and I'll do it again for Johnny.
Last night was the first night Jace ate, he's been on an IV so his weight is stable, and we're trying the breastfeeding but right now he doesn't trust anything in his mouth because he's terrified it's going to go into his lungs so he gags. Last night I pumped after he tried eating without success, then he decided to try again but of course I was empty. He got what I pumped and then took another 30ml of formula which was impressive. He tried eating again 3 hours later, only 7ml but ended up puking that up about 40 minutes after that. My guess is he ate too much, but I'm just hoping that doesn't set him back because he was not happy being sick.
Sorry to hear the feeding struggle at @LauraPCOS. I hope everything becomes a lot easier for you both!
Married 11-11-11 TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year. BFP 02-15-16 with our first IT'S A BOY!!!
Update: Johnny isn't doing too well. He was emergency transferred to a more advanced and specialized NICU in the city for Apnea of infancy, seizures, and his spinal tap showed a systemic infection in his spinal fluid that they are trying to identify so treatment can begin. I know I've expressed we're not religious people but any and all prayers and positive vibes would be greatly appreciated.
@AllyTheKid you and your family and little Johnny have all of our thoughts, good vibes, and prayers. I hope they get results back quickly and that it's an easy treatment. Hugs, mama. Xoxo
@LauraPCOS He'll pick up on eating soon, don't you worry! If he takes a paci, try rubbing it in your pumped milk so he can get a taste for it a few times, that may help. Just keep on keeping on with it, don't give up, and hold that baby close.
Thank you to all of you ladies, you are so wonderful ♡ I'm going to relocate my Johnny updates to the September moms thread, we have so many babies coming right now, they need their thread back.
@AllyTheKid I'm so glad you're in a system that is reacting quickly and seriously. I hope your sweet little guy gets some good answers soon! I'm also so sorry that you guys got shuffled out they don't have a Ronald McDonald house on site do they? Thinking of you
@LauraPCOS I hope that Jace settles into an eating routine!
Good luck to all our laboring moms! @afry613 I hope l&d goes smoothly!
Thinking of you @AllyTheKid and little Johnny! I can't even imagine how terrifying this must be for you and your family. You are such a strong person and I'm sure your little guy is a fighter! Hopefully this will all soon be a distant memory and you'll be home snuggling together as a family.
So I wonder how much stock you can put into the low pressure system/hurricane and going into labor theory. If things stay the same, we could be getting a hurricane next weekend which is the weekend before my due date....maybe Baby B will come on time?!
At least we know we would have power at the hospital...

@allythekid so sorry you guys are going through this. Lots of positive thoughts headed your way. He is so loved already and it sounds like he is in great medical care with doctors you trust. Huge positives!
Sending you, Johnny and your family all the thoughts, prayers, good vibes and hugs @AllyTheKid. I know you must be terrified. But I'm so glad to hear you have a great medical team on your side to help Johnny recover quickly! Xoxo
@AllyTheKid I'm so sorry that Johnny is having such a rough time but it sounds like he is getting the best possible care. I'm thinking of you and your family- please take care of yourself too!
I'm so sorry to hear about Johnny, that is so scary @AllyTheKid. Sending all the good vibes to him and your family for a quick diagnosis and recovery!! I'm glad to hear he's in great hands!
Still thinking of you @Piperella@mrszoess and @anna.oskar!! Hoping to see beautiful baby pictures today!!
@AllyTheKid I'm so sorry little Johnny is having some issues! I'll definitely be sending prayers. I went to Catholic school all my life and even go to church on occasion. So, I think I've got some pull.
Please keep us posted. I hate you're having to deal with this. Creepy internet hugs to you and your family.
Back in L&D! Cervical check made me bleed, not spot. And I secretly think our super awesome doctor did it on purpose. She sent us over. Fingers crossed we have birthdays today!
I spent my whole evening in L&D elevated blood pressure for me. Baby was having some decals to the 90's during my contractions. My uterus would contract up to 100 for like 5 minutes straight. So no doubt baby wasn't enjoying it. Things calmed down thankfully and they let me go home. Now I have to take it easy. They would've kept me, but the ward was full and it wasn't looking like an emergency and since I want to vbac they didn't want to section me last night. Although my gut is starting to tell me to go with a c section in 8 days cause if he already doesn't look fm handle contrarians now, he probably won't in real labor either. So that was my eventful evening.

This is what I get for just hanging out in the fb group and not coming over here often enough. @AllyTheKid, so many positive thoughts and prayers coming your way. I know you said you are moving updates to the September moms group, but please update us here as well! I will be checking here much more often now, this was a wake up call for sure! Thinking of Johnny!
@AllyTheKid, just got caught up and reading your update. I'm thinking of you and Johnny right now. Stay strong mama. Will pray for you. Hang in there. It must be so scary. Lots of hugs to you.
