We stayed in the hospital ICU for a week and then we got to come home. He came home on a Apnea montior that told us when he stopped breathing. We had to go through CPR training before bringing him home.
Our little boy was cute but so hard to care for since he was so little but now he's 7 years old and you would never know by looking at him that he ever had to go through all that.
If you are someone who has experienced this you know it was scary and if your someone who is dealing with a pre-mature baby now I want you to know it will get better. It's hard at first but having a new baby is and with every child it's different. ÂÂÂ
Now I have a 9 month old and he came just when he was suppose to. Being pregnant again was hard. Aftering lossing my little gilr in 1998 and then Ben coming early I wasn't sure I wanted to do it again. It was scary and I was always praying for him to be healthy and safe. He came on the day his sister passed away. My circle had come full circle for me and I found peace and hope in Isaac. He is my ray of sun shine and my little ball of laughter. Isaac means laughter and they say laughter is the best medicine. Isaac is my medicine. ÂÂÂ
My journey with babies hasn't been easy but I have found that being without them my life would not be complete. I would do it all again in a heart beat even knowing the outcome of all of them. They have all brought joy in my life. All have taught me something different about life and about myself.ÂÂÂ
The point of all this was to tell you that you are not alone and there are many people that have babies early we all have different stories to share and I wanted to be able to share mine in hopes that it will help another. In hopes that you too will find hope and your circle will come around.

That never happened for us after 2 tubal pregnancies.
My son was 7 weeks early, stayed in NICU for a week and then came home with an apnea monitor. We had the cpr baby training too.
thanks for sharing your story. It helped to hear it.
Your right there is lots of help for others out there. I've also had help on Mamasource.com too.
