Hey Heather.. I kind of get it. I’m due with our next kiddo June 26th. I went into the hospital on bedrest at 27w4d and the boys were born exactly 3 weeks later. I have a hard time believing that this time will be any different though I know that doesn’t make sense. This time it’s one baby, last time it was two. It’s not even the same set of circumstances, but still. I’ve had a hard time getting excited about this pregnancy. I think partly because I know that things aren’t always all roses and sunshine. I think another reason is that if I have to go on bedrest again that will take me away from my boys-and I’m so protective of them. At the same time, this will (very) likely be the last baby, and I need to enjoy this last time being pregnant. It’s tough to know what to feel…

I wish it was different with Maddie too. What a true angel she was- and look how she is watching over and protecting and nurturing her baby sister.

Keep up the great work, Maddie!! You are doing such a great job taking care of that amazing mommy of yours, and your beautiful little baby Binky!

((Love and Hugs))

Awww. So happy that Binky has reached this milestone, so sad that Maddie didn’t get that chance.
I hope being past this tough date can start to bring you some relaxation and rest from the anxiety soon!!!

I’m so happy to read that you’ve met this milestone! I’ve been following your blog for about a year now, but have only recently been able to relate to your fears about prematurity.

I was pregnant with identical twin boys, and went into spontaneous preterm labor at 26 weeks. I gave birth to my boys on November 21st, and because we had no steroids, no preparation.. and they had such a rushed and traumatic birth, we lost our son Parker on the 25th.

Hunter is in a level III NICU and has been stable for his ten days of life. I can’t help but be optimistic, but feel like I’m tempting fate by being TOO hopeful.

The doctors have told me that if we ever have a subsequent pregnancy, I will be monitored even more closely than I was with this one. I was already being seen biweekly to ensure the boys were growing evenly.. and they had no idea this was going to happen. It’s just not fair.

You and Binky are in our thoughts and prayers, and I hope you never have to see the inside of a NICU again.
