We did all of the genetic testing and are not carriers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/5#post-353014 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 19:43:28 +0000 prettylizy 353014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Thank you so much for taking time to update us, we all think about you often. Your update brought tears to my eyes, what a wonderful day for you all. I remember us posting back on WB when I was waiting for my BFP, that feels like eons ago. Stay strong BBGG, we're all pulling for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/5#post-352981 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 19:02:03 +0000 Smurfette 352981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Aww!! That is so great. You have a fighter on your hand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/5#post-352979 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 19:00:07 +0000 littlek 352979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: that's awesome you got to hold him! Sounds like he is making great progress! :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-352955 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 18:39:31 +0000 Mrs.M57 352955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So wonderful that you got to hold your little man! Thinking of you and your family, and glad to see such a nice update! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-352953 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 18:35:36 +0000 lemondrop 352953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm rooting for you guys, and am always looking out for updates! Congrats on being able to hold him, that is so exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-352952 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 18:33:30 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 352952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: That's a great update and plug is much better than ileus. CF is genetic, though so being on mag shouldn't make a difference. What a beautiful update about holding him. So great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-352944 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 18:25:22 +0000 oliviaoblivia 352944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: what a sweet milestone! I'm so glad to hear your little guy is growing stronger and stronger. Keep it up little man! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-352943 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 18:24:48 +0000 dagret 352943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: aw, that's so sweet! So happy that you finally got to hold him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-352941 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 18:22:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 352941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: I got chills reading that update!!!! Sooooo amazing... yayyy!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-352939 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 18:20:53 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 352939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I think it's just a plug. They had me on Magnesium which reduces the chances of Cystic Fibrosis and I don't think there are any other signs (would there be yet?). </p> <p>@regberadaisy: Thank you! That is really sweet.</p> <p>So I got to hold him today!!! I was partially terrified something would go wrong and partially really excited. His heart rate and Ox Sat both dropped for a couple of minutes, but as soon as he was comfortable, he stayed stable the entire time...even when they put him back. It was really nice to have him sleeping on me : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-352876 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 17:19:38 +0000 regberadaisy 352876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: finally popped in here. I've been following your story since the WB days. And I just want to say that YOU are an amazing person and a superb mom.<br /> Your little boy sounds like such a fighter and I can already tell you love him like crazy. Whenever I think of you I think "man, I don't know anyone who deserves to be pregnant more than her". Then you did and I was so happy for you. And now this. But you &amp; your husband are obviously very special people and can find the optimism in everything.<br /> Thinking of you and your family daily. Wishing that baby boy keeps progressing nicely and that you get to take him home soon!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-352269 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 23:57:18 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 352269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is his meconium issue improving? And do they know if it's meconium ileus yet? Just wondering because that could point to a particular underlying issue (such as cystic fibrosis). I still think about you guys every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-352254 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 23:37:59 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 352254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: It's a version of ibuprofen called indocin (sp?) But he can't have it while he has his bowel issue because it can make the bowels worse. It's possible he would have to go straight to surgery, but it's not affecting him too much at the moment.</p> <p>@skibobrown: Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-351917 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 17:51:01 +0000 skibobrown 351917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just saw this thread, and I'm wishing you luck through the coming weeks! I hope baby continues to thrive, and I hope you're getting all of the support you need too, during what must be an incredibly stressful time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-351806 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 15:20:10 +0000 immabeetoo 351806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsgreengrass hope baby GG &amp; family are keeping strong! happy thoughts your way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-349830 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 08:52:01 +0000 pastemoo 349830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Glad to hear the update. I hope the contrast thing is working well.<br /> Has he opened his eyes?<br /> Isn't the med to close the PDA just ibuprofen? (The doctor I work with said that's why pregnant moms aren't supposed to take NSAIDs).<br /> I hope he is doing well, and I hope you are also recovering well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-342354 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 09:19:19 +0000 kayakgirl73 342354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just letting you know I'm still pulling for Baby GG and thinking about you and Mr. GG. I was a bit worried since seen it's been a few days since you've posted a blog update. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-342224 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:26:08 +0000 kml636 342224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!

Sorry you're going through such a tough time but you're so insping and doing awesome with your pumping. Bet you can't wait till he opens his eyes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-341992 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 21:09:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 341992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: oh my gosh... your story is soo emotional!!! I want to cry every time I read an update... did you name your baby yet? or are you not sharing? Definitely praying for him... and congrats on pumping!! that must feel good :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-341984 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 20:59:12 +0000 peachybee 341984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MGG, I have been MIA here and WB the past few months (things are kinda busy :)</p> <p>I am so sorry your DS made is appearance so early, but he clearly takes after his momma. You got yourself a fighter. </p> <p>Sending you much love, I will be thinking about you and your family!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-341961 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 20:23:31 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 341961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I don't think they know for sure, but they haven't mentioned any root causes to me. The meconium was extremely tacky and tarry. They've talked about continuing this contrast enema and then potentially trying something from the top and they mentioned something that would dehydrate it (which doesn't make sense to me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-341822 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:57:28 +0000 prettylizy 341822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are doing great, pumping that much is awesome, BBGG has one awesome mama. We think and pray for you guys every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-341821 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:56:22 +0000 mediagirl 341821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: you are really inspiring with how positive you are and how well you are handling this. I hope he gets healthy very soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soi-had-a-baby-today/page/4#post-341818 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:52:48 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 341818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: I know it feels like sooo much right now :( </p> <p>PDAs are pretty normal for his age and a common complication, but the meconium issue is a little different.</p> <p>Do they know if it's a mucus plug vs meconium ileus? I only ask because they have different root causes (which I'm sure your docs have been through with you).</p> <p>Congrats on pumping so much already. Tenacious mama! I'm wishing you the best and think about you guys every day! </p>
