Jan. 28, 2008 - Stay put Toots!
At about 1:30 a.m. on January 20, Toots decided to try to make a run for it! My water broke. It was really a deja vu moment because it was exactly like with Bubba. We took Bubba to my Mom and went to the hospital. After much poking and prodding it was determined that yes, my water had broken. We were transferred to another hospital about an hour away that had a NICU able to take care of a premature baby. Once there, the doctors kept me in bed until early Monday. We had a couple of contractions but nothing that would rock the boat. We stayed in the hospital until Thursday when the doctors determined that I could go home and wait it out there. Apparently, the rupture had healed. I was just glad to get back in the care of my regular OB/GYN that I knew and trusted.
Our biggest concern now is my sugar. The steroids that they gave me to develop Toots' lungs also caused my sugar to go a bit high. I was started on medication for my sugar as well as a diet to help control the sugar spikes. Once home, I continued the diet as best I could and the medication. Friday morning, my sugar dropped. Evidently it dropped even farther than I realized because at the doctor's office when I was feeling better, it was still at 65. On Saturday night, I went into a heavy sleep after taking the medication with dinner. We are currently off the meds until we are able to monitor my blood sugar. Tomorrow I go to the dietitian to learn what to eat and when. I also learn how to check my sugar tomorrow.
But the long and short of the story is that Toots is fine, she has plenty of fluid in her swimming pool, and we are hoping that she will take a couple of weeks to make her grand arrival. Keep us in your prayers!
Hugs!

How are you doing now?
I'm sure you are anxious to meet this little gal.
Thinking about girl things is so different than boy things. You'll be blown away by how different they truly are.
Blessings,
tracy

I sent you a private message through HSB. For some reason my email is not working.
