I am an NICU Mom because my son is a drama lover. It all started when I was almost 14 weeks pregnant. My water broke. After rushing to the hospital, believing our baby had passed away, my husband and I saw a beating heart on the ultrasound. We were told our baby will never survive. Termination was an option given to us. As long as there was a beating heart, we would never end our baby's life. That was the day we gave up all control and placed it in the hands of God. July 17, 2010 was the day a label was slapped on to my pregnancy. It was called pPROM which means, Preterm, Premature Rupture of the Membranes (in other words, my water broke very, very early). If you'd like to check out my pregnancy experience, I do have another blog. Here's the link: www.kristinppromqueen.blogspot.com.
To make a long story short, the baby that wasn't supposed to make it, stayed in my womb until 28 weeks and 1 day. After experiencing a day of contractions and a crazy labor, Luke David was born on October 29, 2010 at 7:41pm. Before he arrived, the doctors didn't think he'd make it out of the delivery room, BUT being the drama lover he is, Luke did! As I'm writing this, he has been with us for 1 full week. It's his birthday today. My family and I are very excited and so thankful this little sassy boy has made his way into our lives.
This isthe story of my recovery from a pPROM pregnancy and almost 15 weeks of bedrest with an emergency C-section. But more importantly, this is Luke's story as he makes his way from the NICU home to us.
