Happy Valentines Day to us. On Tuesday Feb 11, I went to the hospital to get monitored. Cramping and Braxton hicks the day before resulting in decreased fetal movement Monday night into Tuesday morning, mind you that morning I felt great! I was ready to get stuff done. Minimal discomfort. I was feeling very active. The doctors had no explanation for what was going on. Her vitals were seemingly normal and then she would rest with a low heart rate, I was having a lot of braxton contractions and again her heart would drop rapidly, but then she would recover normally. I still wasn't feeling her normal movements only but once in a while. Doctors said she wasn't being restricted or loosing oxygen as far as an umbilical strangulation but something wasn't right. Medically they told me I could not leave, I tried! I wanted to go home. I asked if I could just come back the next day. I had pet sits to finish! I just needed to get through that night and next morning! My fiance refused to let me leave. The doctors strongly advised against it. Just 1 hour later they delivered baby girl! She is doing fantastic. While premature and tiny (4lbs 11oz) She has been meeting all her preemie requirements. Valentine's Day we got to spend our night as a family and come home!
So while a month early! I welcome the newest member of the pet care team!
