We got the call at 5:30am. A very good friend of mine, who was due only 10 days before me, had a 4lbs 9oz baby boy via emergency c-section last night (6 weeks early)! Baby boy (yet to be named) and Mamma are doing well, he's breathing on his own. He'll be in the hospital for about a month they expect.
My heart has broken a little for her though, as she hasn't seen him yet. Her c-section was a bit sloppy, due to the urgency of it, so she has a t-shape incision as opposed to the neat bikini line one. The whole ballgame has changed for them, this is nothing like any of us dreamed of. And I'm just sooooo glad that they are both healthy.
I'm a bit shaken up, because so far we have gone through each step in our pregnancies together. She's in another town, 3.5hrs away, so I can't go visit. I just sent her some flowers this morning, and hope to talk to her soon.
Anyhow, just wanted to share and ask for some good thoughts for Mamma and Baby Boy B.!
