Baby Beck is coming soon ? ? ?

May 10th, 2011

My water broke Thursday, May 5th at about 8:40 PM. I was a bit freaked out since I am only 30 weeks, and he is not due for another two months. I yelled at Ben to get Hallee out of bed and we raced to the American Fork Hospital. They then admitted me did an ultrasound, found out he is breached (feet first) and told me I was going to Provo Hospital. Provo Hospital is supposed to be amazing with NICU. So I was very grateful. Unlucky they made me ride in an ambulance to Provo Hospital. I always thought it would be really scary to ride in an ambulance, but neither of us were really in any sort of danger-so the ambulance ride was a bit of a joy ride-a very expensive joy ride. We checked into Provo Hospital, got hooked up to a ton of machines to monitor me and the baby. Another ultra sound to check the baby and fluids; baby weights exactly 3 pounds (5/6/11). They gave me magnesium to help slow contractions, steroid shots for the babies lungs and antibiotics to fight off any infections. And now the plan is to keep the baby in the womb as long as possible. So the baby continues to grow as I am on bed rest in the hospital until he comes. Which could be any day up to 4 weeks. This is the best senerio for the baby, not so much for me, as I don't know how to pass the time. It seems like all I do is watch the clock, eat and wish I was eating. (P.S. I am not one to be sappy and emotional-sorry-I blame it on a pregnancy thing). The Doctors said that one day in the womb is a beneficial as a week in the NICU. Hopefully he decided to stay in a while longer and I will try not to go insane in the mean time. I am extremely grateful and yet again humbled to know that everything is not on my time line but gods.

I have officially been here 5 days, which I am pretty proud about. And hopefully I have many more days to come.

10 Things to be extremely ecstatic about:

1. I have room service

2. It is extremely quite /dull

3. I don't have to cook or clean

4. I actually have some TV channels here unlike my house

5. At least the weather sucks outside

6. My contractions are pretty minimual

7. I got my trip in before the baby came

8. Ben gets to experience mommy hood all weekend

9. I get a sleeping aid

10. Hum actually can't think of 10 things?

Ultrasound today 5/27/11 baby looks great. Baby weights 3 lb and 13 oz. He is measuring a little small but doctors are not worried about it. C-section is set for June 2nd at 9:30 AM. Mommy couldn't be happier to see a end in sight. Hopefully everything goes well.
