UPDATE!!!
Well we find out more tomorrow but Lily has been taken off one of the antibiotics. They have it down to a staph infection that causes UTI's. Since she's a newborn they have to keep her in the hospital for antibiotics and they are hoping only 7 days instead of 10 but should find out tomorrow. Not sure how she got it but possibly from the pregnancy and since I had about 5 UTI's during, I'm not surprised. Thanks for your prayers and thank God it's nothing serious!!

And it's not good news î
Yesterday I was admitted to hospital and immediately transferred to the top hospital in the country (boy that was the fastest I've ever gotten to the capital!) by ambulance as my waters broke last night at 10:30pm at just 23 weeks (23w1d today).
They managed to stop the contractions but I am leaking and they don't know which baby it is. They all have a good amount of water though, and my friend said it will keep replenishing as long as the labor does not advance and I don't start contracting again. We see doctors later today, hubby is here with me and DD is at my parents.
I'm getting broad spectrum antibiotics to fight and prevent any possible infections, I got a cortisone shot for the babies' lung development and the meds to prevent further contractions. The babies are good sizes and they all move a lot so it's not all bad even if very worrying.
I'm staying in the hospital on strict bedrest and boy this is NOT how I wanted this to go. I guess I'm just unable to cook my babies full term îƒ Still, with DD born at 35w I thought we'd make it further than this î˜

Bentley Ray was born 3/15/12. He has had an EKG done this week and now a referral to Pediatric Cardiologist tomorrow. He is my third son. I'm a wreck and have been since the Dr called this morning.
Prayers are greatly appreciated.

My little guy has been super fussy for several days, and kept me up for 3 of the last 4 nights. He seems to have gas some of the times, but other times I have no idea what is going on.
I'm falling apart. I barely have time to go to the bathroom, I have no appetite and no time to eat. I'm living on cereal bars and water basically. I have no income this month and bd has chosen to ignore his son's existence and isn't paying anything. Eventually the state will make him, but it will take months and a DNA test because he's trying to drag it out. I am about to get my power shut off and can't do anything about it. The state is giving baby health insurance, thank God, but I don't qualify for anything else because when I'm working I make "too much." I can't go back to work early because daycare won't take him until he's 6 weeks old, and they need a month of payment up front. I don't know how I'll ever have that! I also have no breast pump because my insurance is taking forever to approve it, so I have no way to get him milk if I were to find someone to watch him for free. To top it off, my work won't let me back until I'm medically released and my mw won't medically release me until 6 weeks.
I'm starting to have horrible thoughts about giving him up for adoption because I don't know how I can afford to take care of him, and I don't want him growing up with no dad. I don't think i could do it, but the thought is constantly in my head.
I don't think I have ppd because I'm not down "in general," I'm just down about circumstances that would have anyone feeling down. I love my son with all my heart, and it's killing me to not be able to do anything right!

Anyone else doing this? My midwife suggested donating since I am making so much milk. Just made the call and am waiting for them to call back for my "phone interview".
