Hospital Bedrest week 7

and for good freakin reason...I am knocked up and on hospital bedrest. I have a few complications:
1.incompetant cervix
2.pre term labor
3.gestational diabetes which is a result and side effect of the meds I am on to stop pre term labor

I love my doctors Hill & Fuentes. They have made my journey into motherhood realistic and now my son is in my belly at 27 weeks and 4 days pregnant, which means his chances of survival are excellent. Of course I dont want him living in an isolete in a NICU however I just want him to survive and be here with us. His kicks are amazing and I sometimes spend minutes just waiting and staring at my belly to see him moving around. Our lives have been turned upside down, my husband has given up our king size comfy comfy uber comfy bed in exchange for a sofabed in my hospital room.The mattress is like 3 maybe 4 inches thick and you can totally feel the springs in your back while laying down.Since I am here I figured I will finally keep up with my blogging.
It feels good to just vent even if its into thin air.
Today I spent my day submerged in surfing the net and you tube for everything from neko case to nick cave and nirvana..go figure
Its the first day I spent alot of time away from Facebook where everyone knows if youve been online for 3 hours or 3 days..lol
I watched maybe an hour of tv and then got bored and immediatly logged in and here I am. I think i'm gonna post alot of things I want for baby. Unfortunatly I dont have space for baby to have his own room as yet so he will be bunking in our room which isnt too big or too small. We cleared out space for a crib and I am patiently waiting on my dear hubby to buy one. I am totally stoked about my little one, he has brought me more happiness that I can even imagine in just a few short months.

Week 27: I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it!

Fetal development in pregnancy week 27:fetus in seventh month Your not-so-tiny-anymore brilliant baby(about 2 pounds and 14.5 inches long!) is slowly rotating in preparation to “head out.” Obviously, this doesn’t happen overnight, but when you start to feel an unfamiliar pressure on your cervix, you’ll know you’ve got a fully flipped baby locked and loaded for the countdown to their birthday! Even now, at the beginning of the third trimester, their little lungs are already capable of breathing air while the pulmonary vascular system can provide sufficient gas exchange and the central nervous system can generally regulate rhythmic breathing as well as their basal body temperature. For what it’s worth, at this point in a healthy pregnancy a premature child (with intensive care) could easily win on the show: “Survivor: The Early Years.”
