well, here's a little update... I had another blasted amnio this morning... for those of you that are expecting, pray for all you're worth you NEVER have to have one.... either way, they injected blue dye into my uterus to see if my water was actually ruptured... and it's not, they also took more fluid to test again and it came back that i don't have any infections, which they said i did have at first, now i'm waiting to see the results of the lung maturity test, which the one i had last wed. said negative, meaning her lungs weren't mature yet, but they could be now.... as it is, it looks i could be going home and like you all said, baby or no i'm more than ready i have put up with so much crap since going into the hospital.... i wasn't hooked up to anything, not even an iv and my mother didn't believe me so she called up the nurses to basically catch me in alie and i wouldn't allow the nurses to tell her anything, woman really ticked me off so i decided to play the b with the bad itch to her for once, either way she called up my cousin and told her i was lying and using her and that as soon as the baby was born she wanted nancy to call her and tell her that i probably wouldn't just so i could leave my girls with her longer and that she was going to bring my girls right back to me to deal with like a good mother instead of the useless one that i am... she also told the nurses that i tend to get rather hysterical and may not be in my right state of mind and if they have any questions they need to just call her and ask her what to do i swear, i don't need her crap right now and this is an all time low for her.... so now i'm going to try to figure out what to do with my girls as soon as i get home cuz i'm not leaving them with my mother any more well, let you all know what happens soon got to try to figure out how i'm even going to get home if they release me later! and thanks for all your prayers and well wishes |

Yes, we are quite a group, aren't we? Lindsey, I'm sorry to hear that on top of everything else your mother, (who should be supporting you and not aggravating you) is being a pain. How she can say you aren't a good mother is beyond me. Hopefully Piper's lungs will be far enough along soon that she can come on out. If not, I hope you do get to go home for the wait, and not stay there any longer. Try to stay calm and just block those aggravations out of your head and do some deep breathing. That always helps me. I get so tense I just breathe shallowly, and it really stops to help and do some slow deep breathing. And here's a little note to make you feel better....most women have a glow when they are pregnant, and I know you are just beautiful.  |

hahaha, how funny fairy! I'm not skinny as a rail, there's a huge basketball sized tumor in my gut and it moves!!!!!! LOL anyway, I was released last night, got home kinda late and had a rather bad shock when i walked in the door, thought my water had been shut off while i was in the hospital, but it seems that with all my bragging about my water pipes being in the basement and not likely to freeze that they almost did freeze cuz i had my heat turned off... either way I'm home now, I'm 35 weeks, and I had another amnio on Monday that showed 2.8 for her lung maturity, which means that her lungs are now mature. They also ran the test for the infection and either I never had it or the antibiotics worked so it's cleared away and they injected blue dye into my water and had me wear a tampon for 30 minutes to see if my water was ruptured, needless to say it was not. So they let me out of jail. My brother is coming back to stay with me until she's born that way next time I go into labor I don't have to worry about waking Cailet up at 4 in the morning to go to the hospital. But they did say that next time I go into labor my dr has said that he will probably go ahead and break my water so I can have her. There is no risk to her now except that she is so small, not even 5 lbs yet, but that she will be fine and I can't keep going into labor and stopping or spending a week in the hospital. At least now I don't have to worry about being transfered as the lung maturity results were the only reason i was transfered to KU in the first place, though I am very very tired of my dr having one thing in mind, I get transfered, and those dr's disagree. That's the only reason why she's not born yet. First, I was transfered to Joplin, which is about a half hour to 45 minutes away and rather close to all my family members, because i was in labor, her lungs weren't developed as I was only 31 weeks. They said they would put me on the mag long enough to transfer me, take me off, let me deliver and she would have a readily available nicu but when i got to joplin they didn't want to take me off the mag. This time I was supposed to be induced once i got to ku because of my dr thinking that my water had broken and because of the results of my first amnio showing that her lungs weren't mature and my having an infection. Of course once I got to ku the dr's there denied that i had an infection and couldn't make up their minds if my water was really broken or not. I had so many sonograms it was pathetic. It wasn't until my last amnio that they knew for sure that my water was still intact. Either way, i felt like a lab rat or guinea pig or whatever cuz ku is a teaching facility so that meant that practically every "dr" that came in wasn't a dr at all but a medical student and they all had different opinions on what was going on. I wasn't even hooked up to an iv after last thursday. They would come in about every 6 hours to hook me up to the monitors to run a 20 minute strip to make sure the baby was fine and to check my vitals, but other than that, nothing. I was so hacked until Dr. Tepley showed me how to go online! Hehehe! Anyway, I'm home now and way more comfortable though I don't know how long I'll remain at home cuz they took me off bedrest so I have permission to do things now (and I promise that I won't be hopping up and down, all that does is make me have to go potty!) |

AWE Bless your heart lindsey!!! I hope everything goes really well!!! I'm so sorry your having so many complications I don't know what its like but my best friend that was carrying twins the same time I Was carrying william was in misery she started going into labor at 30 weeks and was in and out of the hospital atleast twice a week and was actually admitted about every other week, and when she was delivering her water had broken at 35 weeks, and the STILL tried to STOP her labor!!! and this was a facility that was right next to the childeren's hospital so they didn't have a problem, and she had made an agreement with her dr. to get tied and burned well, the dr that delivered thought that she wasn't in the right state of mind to make that decision even tho she made it 2 months ago  so she had to go back 6 weeks later to have her dr do the procedure and make her even more miserable. I'll keep you and piper in my prayers that the remainder of the pregnancy is comfortable and the delivery is not complicated!! Take Care! |

So glad you are home, Lindsey!! Sure seems like you went through a lot. At least you didn't have to have an IV stuck in you the whole time. I bet you got tired of all the doctors and interns parading in and out. What a pain.
Glad her lungs are to the point where she can come any time now. I can't wait to see pics!!!
I would have posted here sooner but dsl was down all over Indiana all day. Occasionally it would be up, but mostly down. Geez...talk about annoying! I couldn't get on to see what was going on here!

yes she was having a lot of pain in her hips...a lot of pressure there most of the time in late pregancy means its time or its closing in on you to deliver the baby...so she called the hosital to see if she could take some pain medicine she was perscribed..they told her they suggest she just come on into the hospital..so she did around 6pm last night. she got there and they induced labor for her..which basically means they broke her water...last night at 11:56 the baby was born...she changed the name to Harper LouAnne...she weighs 4 pounds, is 16 inches long, 12 cm head measurement, and her chest is measurement is 11 cms....so she now has the baby lol!!!! congrats Lindsey and welcome to the world Harper~!
