@krsmall: I'm not sure about the rules yet since we've only been in there a couple of times. I'll definitely ask! DH and talked about how to make our visits have kind of a routine so it feels nicer for us even when we can't hold him. So we'll get a book or two and keep working on the rest.
-
Wow, congratulations! I'll be keeping your little family in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you all the happiness in the world!

@MrsGreenGrass Does your son have a name yet? Or are you choosing not to share? How are you feeling about/processing everything?
-
Congrats! Been following you since your TTC days- so happy for you.
-
Congratulations! You've been through a lot -- I hope you are taking each moment/step as they come and doing ok. Would love to see a photo of little GG.
-
@Trailmix: I'm just not sharing publicly, but yes...we've had a name for ages.
I'm processing okay. I'm a little more emotional today, but it's just natural decompression from all I've been through. I also haven't had much time to myself the last few days and I need to be by myself to decompress, cry, etc.
I'm still extremely optimistic and just trying to take it day by day.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: It's hard because you know there will be ups and downs in the next 15 weeks or so as your baby continues to grow and develop in the outside world...
You've got a whole team rooting for him though!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Oh, you are so strong! The emotional roller coaster is normal with an easy situation but with yours it is even more ok to feel that way. It will be a tough 15 weeks and we're all here for you!
-
Congrats on his arrival! I'l be sending prayers your way for a speedy and healthy recovery for you and for your little guy to make great progress as quickly as possible!
-
Congrats! Hope your little guy will continue to get stronger!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Stay strong....you are doing a great job! I'm looking forward to all of the great updates about your baby boy.
-
wow, congratulations! sending all our best thoughts for little green grass to get stronger and bigger every day! that's great that his lungs were working

Day 3 Update:
Baby is on a ventilator, but breathing regular air. He can breathe on his own, he just forgets to keep doing it consistently.He has a Level 2 brain bleed (out of 4) which they will recheck Thursday. Level 2 is not a major concern and is very common. Hopefully it will not progress. (Apparently preemies have capillaries in their brains that would have gone away by birth which is why they get brain bleeds so easily.)
He's going to get his first blood transfusion today. His counts are just slightly low, but they keep sticking him every day and he can't make enough to compensate.
Overall, they are really happy with his progress so far. He is relatively stable, no major issues at the moment. But they constantly warn us that babies often start well and then problems develop.
I'm pretty sure I'm going home today!! I haven't been home since September 21st!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Fingers crossed he stays stable. Thinking of you!!
-
Wow, congratulations! I'm glad to hear that he is doing well. You have a fighter!
-
Glad to hear a positive update, so hoping it continues to be so!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: what a great update!!! congrats and enjoy going home while your little boy grows strong and healthy in the NICU!!!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Enjoy your time at home! Sounds like your little fighter is doign well so far. I can't wait to follow along and see more updates!
-
Congrats and happy to hear you're heading home. I'll be keeping your little guy in my thoughts!
-
Glad to see the latest update...he sounds like such a strong little one! Keep fighting BBGG!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Oh my gosh, what a whirlwind of a story!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!! Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy!!!! So glad to hear that he's doing well! Wishing you and your family the best!
-
Oh my gosh that is so scary!!! Only 25 weeks!! sending some prayers up for you... I cannot believe all you've gone through. I hope your little one thrives!!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: I'm glad to hear he's stable. he sounds like a real fighter. I'm glad it looks like your going home even though it will be hard to be away from him, I'm sure being able to go home will be good for you. Hopefully you will be able to get a good night's sleep.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Great update for today, what a positive step for you to be able to go home. I hope you little mans progress continues positively, however being prepared that progress could slow or regress as you mentioned is also good just in case -will be good to remember this positive if there is a regression, and look forward to the next positive step for him!
