Tuesday mid morning

It has now been 6 hours since Bianca woke me up with the news of her water breaking. She has been administered two different antibiotics, a new round of the magnesium (so lots of ice packs and cold towels again) and has had a new dose of steroids. We are hoping to make it one more day now to allow for this dose to kick in and do as much as possible for baby girl. 

We have been moved backed to labor and delivery and are very close to the surgical room in case she needs a c section. We have consulted with the doctors and attendees and if there are any any any signs of distress they will do a c section. 

Once baby girl is born they will take her and I may or may not be able to go with her right away depending on stability, but I have been warned it make take up to three hours before I will get to see her. 

I took my first NICU tour today... As much as I wanted to hold back the tears, they came. No one looked at me in a negative way, but were very supportive. There are so many precious little ones here and my heart goes out to each one of them and their parents. 

I got to meet Dexter; a beautiful little boy who was born at 24 weeks and is now 11 days old. He is so tiny but perfect. He is bigger, much bigger than Eva and it surprised me to see the difference two weeks make. There are so many tubes and connections but such a loving wonderful staff. I can't say I'm happy this is all happening, but I am grateful that we are in the right spot where these miracle workers can help our baby. 

Here is a quick picture I snapped of Dexter's diaper so you can get an idea of the size of his little body:

This is a tough time for sure but we are so grateful for all the blessings we have been given. 

Bianca is sleeping now as she is pretty much exhausted. We are back to waiting for now, but are ready to go if the time comes soon...
