My how time flies....
After being in the hospital for 4 weeks in a bed upside down, many medications to stop labor, heparin shots 2 times a day, steroids for Bryce's lungs, no showers and having to use a bed pan for EVERYTHING, my water finally gave up and broke. They told me as long as the fluid was clear and I didn't get a temp I could still stay pregnant, this was at about 9 am they started antibiotics right away...... About 3pm I spiked a fever of 102 they checked my urine and I had a kidney infection, unfortunately they decided it was safer for Bryce to be born than to stay in, so they decided to induce me an 1 year ago tomorrow at 7:58pm Bryce was born. He weighed 1lb 8.2 oz and was 12 inches long..... You know how I said before that the day I was admitted was the first day of the rest of my life... Well I was wrong this was... This was the beginning of a journey I never thought I'd be on...... Thankfully though it turned out better than we thought and we now have a 1 year old son who is perfect in every way!
So enough of the sad stuff, just a quick update, we had Bryce's Birthday Party on Saturday, the weather turned out beautiful, I had too much food and Bryce slept through the first half but it was a great day and such a HUGE milestone to reach because to be honest there were so many days I didn't think we'd make the next day.
Tomorrow on his Birthday the poor baby gets to have his 1 year well visit (shots) Sorry buddy. So Ill update on his stats then. And I will try to get the pics that my mother and mother in law took from the party to show off.
