    Sending you a big

    Our journey was plagued with what if's.

    What if they had just listened to me at 20 weeks when I knew that something was wrong would I have gone past 25 weeks? What if the paeds had listened to me when I said that there was something wrong with my tiny bubba instead of passing it off as a reaction due to going from vent to cpap? and what if that wonderful nurse hadn't pushed the fact that test needed to be done urgently?

    I have learnt that there is no point dwelling on the "what if"factor. It will only drain you of all your energy that you need to focus on getting you through the next minute, next hour, next day.

    Good to hear that AB's are onboard, have the Drs discussed steroids with you?

    Hoping and praying that bub stays put beyond 28 weeks.

    Thanks girls, you are all so amazing!
    Yes, small, achievable goals....though I'm not sure that we could pack the hospital bag just yet, it still feels so far off ( I'm hoping ). 24 weeks coming up....
    We also haven't organised anything for new bubs except the 'new' pram that we found in great condition at a garage sale months ago and had to have. I don't think we will until we get to 34 weeks.
    Just still holding on to the belief that this time, it will be different.
    No steroids unless it looks like bubs will be early, but we do have our scan on Tuesday to see what the cervix is doing, so will know more then if bed rest in Melbourne will be on the cards or if we continue at home as we are doing now. Fingers crossed for long closed cervix, cause Melbourne is a long way from our little boy in Daylesford while his Mum is in hospital....
    BIG hugs to Beema, who is going on this same wild ride with us for her second bubba, thank you so much for your amazing support as you have not had the easiest ride either hun
    Keeping you posted after our scan

    I couldn't help but shed a tear I too understand your fears. HUGE and I really hope for a long and closed cervix too. xx
