Hi ladies,
First a little about myself and my family. Im married to my soulmate, we have been together on and off for 14 years, 2 of which we have been married. We have a beautiful son Lakai who was born at 23.4 weeks (you can read more about his story in the "Ask A Mom Of....." threads), he weighed 710g at birth and was in the NICU for almost 4 months. He had a very hard time in the NICU, we almost lost him a few times. He had a very bad bleed on his brain, which we were told he would be very delayed and have disabilities from. But he almost two now and he is perfect. Other than the feeding tube he is totally "normal" and you would never know he was premature...well except I guess for his raspy little voice from his paralyzed vocal cord from his heart surgery at 17 days old, which is also the cause for the feeding tube. He cannot swallow liquids properly without some going into his lungs...but there is much debate about that! He can still talk though, and jibberish is his favorite pass time!
Anyways, there was no cause for his early birth and my GP thinks its due to an incompetent cervix. So this pregnancy is both scary..and scary!
We have also had several losses.
I can't wait to finally make it to 3rd trimester with this pregnancy!
Fingers and toes crossed that I do!
Here's our little man:
