My baby is here
Kayleigh Ann decided it was time to come out. I was only 34 w, 6 d when she was born. Went in to preterm labor and they could not get it stopped. She was born Sun, Jan 6th at 12:49 am. She was 7 lb, 2 oz and 18 in long. She has been in the NICU since birth. We are hoping she can come home tomorrow. I will right up my birth story later. K in in the NICU and my parents have the older girls. Dh and I are trying to see everyone and I know I am doing too much. I hope tomorrow we can all just come home.

Re: My baby is here
Congratulations!!!!! I have a 33weeker in the nicu currently(7 days pp) so I have an idea of the stress, the financial ramifications and the sleepless nights you are experiencing. And this is my second preemie because last time I was blessed with a 34weeker. My guess is that little Kayleigh is just a feeder and grower and she'll be home to you soon enough. But what a GREAT size for a 34weeker. Mine was 5lbs 3oz and my 33weeker is 4lbs 12oz. Think of it this way: at least you can use newborn clothing and diapers!!!!

Re: My baby is here
Yes, she did have some issues with preemie lungs, but that took about 3 days to clear up. Now Jaundice is holding her up. I am waiting till shift change is over, so I can call and see her number. if it went down, I can room in tonight and she will be home tomorrow. I hope both our babies will be home soon

Re: My baby is here
Congrats! Hopefully the jaundice clears up soon and you can take her home. I had 2 35 weekers and I thought they were decent sizes at 6#1 and 5#14... Makes you wonder how big Kayleigh would have been at full term!
