We hit a big milestone for Taylor today. She's now 28 weeks. Its a big milestone in her development. We still have a long ways to go, but we are quite happy. Our doctor hasn't been in yet today, so I don't know what his thoughts are, but we are starting to dare to dream about 30 weeks. Michelle wants 35. A baby born less than that gets an automatic trip to the NICU. She doesn't want Taylor leaving the room or her arms. I'll second that. I'm quite positive that the happiest day in my life will be when I see Taylor in Michelle's arms, and I want that to last for a very long time. Then I want us all to go home. :-)
I told Michelle that this pregnancy is just proving to be the opposite of the last 2. Haylee was born face first, face up which was nothing short of hell for Michelle. Tristan had the prolapsed chord and emergency c-section. Both were good pregnancies, bad deliveries. This is a hellish pregnancy but is going to be a good delivery.
Of course, things aren't quite as stable as they were this weekend. Michelle's has not had any new bleeding, but there has been what appears to be old blood. She's also had some irritability showing up on the contraction monitors this morning and last night. Does it mean anything? Hopefully not, but it has started this way the last few rounds, so it might mean another round is coming up. I sure hope not. It about kills me watching her go that.
She had an ultrasound yesterday and things still look good with Taylor. The placenta doesn't appear to have torn loose any more than before. There was just a teeny bit of amniotic fluid, but that's better than none. Yesterday, Michelle's back was really bugging her. She has fluid in one of her kidneys and was starting to feel like it was happening to the other one as well. She says she's feeling a lot better today though. Hopefully tonight they'll leave her alone so she can catch up some much needed sleep. She's quite sleep-deprived.
Anyway, its a good day! All aboard! Next stop 30 weeks! Chugga-chugga chugga-chugga chugga-chagga
