Yuppers there. I knew he'd be early, but not this early til that day I was having back pain.
Oh, and how cool is this? My husband called his bowling team to give them the news and let them know hes out for awhile (he bowls every Thursday with the same guys for over 20 years) They asked what they could do, Mike must have made an off remark about the house being trashed. Three of the guys came over and cleaned it from top to bottom last week. Isn't that awesome? I would have loved to have seen them. They did a great job too, my nephew told me all about it.

You made me smile Boo. The thought of telling him about all of this.
It'll come, one day, it will come.
I know in my heart of hearts thats true. The doctors can tell me whatever they want, but I know Jack best.

The name Brook was taken, so I added an E.. (just to clarify)
I am waiting for my Niece and her newborn to get home from the Hospital so we can go spend some time with them.. she is running a fever waiting for doctor to call.

Hey Brook,
So you're a great aunt then right? Congrats yourself! Whats the babys name? I hope your niece is feeling Ok.
Thanks for the send out. I miss you guys here too. Its amazing how many friends here on board that I care about...and have never seen them face to face.
At the NICU, there is a support group which expresses to try and find something consistent during this time. Something just for me. This board came to my head immediately. This place led me to my recoverey, and then turned into so much more. I think thats true for a lot of us here.
I'm so glad you're here Brook. I like the new name change.
Redd
Hey Redd,
Michelle just emailed me that you were online. I haven't read the threads yet but I wanted to say "Hi" and that I've been thinking of you and your two sweet boys. How're you holding up?
Love, Gina
Hey Brook(e),
I understand the problem. My screenname was taken, too, when I joined -- but by someone who hadn't posted in yonks. Your solution is much more elegant than mine.
Cheers,
Soccermome
(J/K I'll stop teasing you now... maybe... lolololol)
Morning Boo!

terrianne
Just saw you Gina. I'm holding up. I've found that I'm great in crisis, very methodical as its happening. Its when its over that I fall apart, so for now I do what needs to be done when needed. Its like auto pilot. Talk to me in a month or two, I'll be a puddle.
Thanks for your support Gina, I recently read some of your posts and I've gotten some things from them, so thank you. I need to be more like you in some areas. I'm still calling people idiots, as opposed to their behavior.
Love you,
Amy
have a good weekend guys.

This child will be spoiled.
Good Morning Michelle, Terrianne & Redd
I could use some food, anything at this point, b-bque ribs sound so good, i had a baked potatoe at 2:00am with sour cream, this low sodium, high potassium bit is throwing me for a loop, I have eaten anything I wanted all my life.........suddenly...........I'm standing in a grocery store having no idea what the hell I can eat, no spices, no tomatoes OMG, everything I love I can't have
But what the hell, small price to pay to get healthy again, so I will be good & follow advice, 1 week ago today, I thought the outcome would be SO much worse, I'm just so grateful that some lifestyle changes will help & for the things that can't I'll deal with as they happen!
Redd
I hope you see this, so glad to see baby Jack getting stronger everyday, I'm going to continue to pray for your little miracle
You know there was a famous Fighter named Jack, many years ago, Jack Dempsey.........The name Jack to me is a strong name & fitting for your tiny one.
I wanted to tell you about 2 special people in my life that were also under 3lbs.
one was my sister Terrielee, born in 1962 way before all the modern technology they have now........She fought with everything she had, & she is still a tiny person, But a Giant in my eyes & fiestier than me!!
The other person is my oldest Grandson, 2 1/2 lbs at birth.........fought like hell and today..........lol He is a 6' 3" 220lb United States Marine & smart as a whip
babie's are a miracle, But tiny baby's are God's most special miracle, Take good care of yourself too Amy, God is hard at work & you need your stength, stay strong my friend.............your family is in all our prayers
Love Dottie

Great post. I hope you're feeling better. By the way,,,,AYRFSF ?????. Aww come on, you know what that means.
Amy
Remember that GREAT things come in little packages. Jack may not be able to be cuddled right now but I gotta a feeling pretty quick you're more than going to make up for it.
Have a great Sunday
Love ya's
Frank
Thanks for sharing that Dottie, I can't hear enough success stories. I just got in from seeing Jack. I'm tired. My oldest is not.
