Aiden Bradley, my son, was born tuesday ( may 19th) somewhere around 8:30 in the morning. My water broke around 2 am, I was at the ER by 3:30, they transferred me to another hospital with a NICU, that could better handle the baby if he was born, I got there around 6ish, after a quite a few tests and questions, during shift change, I was waiting for medication to help the baby. All of a sudden it felt like hot powder was sprayed into my throat/ tonsil area, I had to throw up but I had not eaten or drank anything in over 12 hours, so It was all dry heaves, my head started to pound and I couldn't catch my breath. I was having or going into partial placenal abruption. The nurses came in fast but I couldn't verbalize anything, they were hollering at me. They couldn't find his heartbeat on the doppler or the ultrasound with in 10 minutes I was zoomed into an operating room and put to sleep. I don't remember waking up but I do remember worrying if he was alive. Chris told me after I had seen him for the first time that he was actually born with out a heart beat. He was born one day shy of being 27weeks old.

He's doing better than I thought he would be, the nurses started to give him breast milk today.

He's so tiny. 2 pounds. I never thought the fear that I felt the whole time I was pregnant could get worse, but it did. I had to go the whole first day not seeing him, I still can't hold him and I had to leave the hospital with out him. Helpless -him and me and there's nothing I can do about it.

Saying congratulations seems bittersweet, Andie.  I will keep you and your precious miracle boy in my thoughts and prayers.  Please keep us posted and if he's as strong and feisty as his mommy, I'm sure he'll be home soon!  *ginormous hugs*

technology is VERY advanced these days.  chris was born 1 pound 2 oz in '71...that's not such a big deal now as it was back then.  i'm sure all will be well and when you are reunited with your baby boy, you won't even remember that you were apart.

congratulations, i'll keep you and your baby in my thoughts and hope that strength comes to you both.
