After I had Julianna and saw her in neocare I was taken to my semi private room, it was around 3:30pm so my mom stayed for a little and left and Devon stayed until 6. We talked lot, I don't remember about what but we talked. He went downstairs and got me a turkey sub for dinner which was nice considering I was craving it for months and couldn't give in .
Devon eventually left to take care of Mason and go home and do laundry. I tried to rest however it was hard with intense after birth contractions that pain medicine couldn't control. I think I might of went to see her that night but I don't remember it was such an intense day I'm pretty sure I did however I couldn't say for sure.
The day when I went to see her she was on oxygen and she was loosing weight. It was hard to see her hooked up to everything and made me tear up. I knew the next time Devon had to be there to keep me strong. After shedding a few tears I stared at my beautiful daughter and I knew she was going to be ok. Later that day I was released from the hospital.
The past 11 days I've had my ups and downs and so has she. My after birth contractions were stronger then my labor contractions. They could even last up to 3 minutes. By the 3rd day it didn't hurt to pee however I have cramping when I pee still it's more uncomfortable then painful. By the 3rd or 4th day I lost 15lbs, I've lost more weight since then. I've been sweating a lot every night, I was carrying a lot of water weight. I had a uti and was treated for it however now I might have a yeast infection so I was upset about that all because a month ago when I had uti symptoms my doctor said I didn't have one.
Now for baby girls update.
Her weight was down and up so she has been given fortifier for the past 4/5 days. She drinks about 45-50 and gets so sleepy around 40ml so she needs to start drinking more. She gains about 20 grams a day which is one third of a oz.
Today Julianna is 35 weeks and at my hospital babies born at 33 weeks can go home once they reach 35 weeks however what's holding her back is not drinking much and gaining as much as they would like. My guess is she will be there for 10 more days.
It's tough having another preemie in the hospital but I'm able to make it through the day knowing my son got through it and so will she after all girls do better, there the superior being. It's what all the doctors and nurses say ;)
