Let me start by saying that the overwhelming response to our situation has been truly amazing and totally appreciative 

But when people hear about what’s going on with my pregnancy their first response is always the same , they either 1) tell me about a friend who had her baby at like 25 weeks and it was just fine or 2) how they themselves had a preemie and he/she was fine.  Don’t get me wrong, I love to hear about these stories they’re wonderful and I’m always very excited for whose ever baby it was that came early and is now thriving, but it’s NOT AT ALL the same thing.

This was never a matter of my body not being able to carry this baby for whatever reason , if that were the case I wouldn’t be on bed rest because I’d have a healthy baby who more than likely would be fine to be delivered at any time now.  I , however, have a sick baby whose suffered some pretty severe organ damage. It’s crucial he make it to 36 weeks , mainly to ensure strong lung development but also that he can be big enough to endure anesthesia and surgery and all the many other medical procedures he may have to go through. It’s apples and oranges people.

Ok, I feel totally better now that I got that off my chest …    Now I must lay in bed and dream of the day I can enjoy a nice cold Margarita !!!  Oh, how I miss my Jose Cuervo.
