Day 1

Getting settled into MckayDee was very smooth, S found me almost immediately and they got me hooked up to everything. I'm on an IV plus 2 antibiotics to prevent infections so that i can keep this bb in as long as possible. I was given a steroid injection in my hip sometime in the blur of the Brigham City hospital to help his brain and lungs a little quicker. I will get one more today.

The NICU doctor came and discussed risk factors, complications, and statistics for this little bb. He was positive and informative, but didn't' sugar coat anything..which was greatly appreciated. They are estimating he is just under 2 pounds right now, but he is strong and has maintained a heart-rate that has been called 'perfect' 'great' 'awesome' 'steady' and 'right were we want it'. Later today we will also get an ultrasound that will give me more details we are needing (such as if he is breech or head down, a good 'guestimate' on his hight and weight, and most importantly how much fluid he has) While I haven't stopped completely I have lost only an ounce or two each time I stand instead of the cups I did before.

I was only on oxygen for the ambulance ride here as a safety protocol, we are on 24/7 fetal heart rate monitor and contraction monitors, and iv antibiotics until at least Saturday.
