Crossing over to Parenting... a little sooner than I thought!
I find myself joining the parenting board about 8 weeks earlier than I thought I would! My son was born Saturday 3/6/10 at only 32 weeks. He weighed 3 lbs 6 oz and is doing surprisingly very well for himself!!! I'm so proud of him! He's going to be in the NICU for about 4 weeks, so DH and I will be spending our days at the hospital visiting with him.
In the meantime, I was discharged yesterday and came home. Since I had to have an emergency c-section and had complications due to the severe pre-eclampsia I developed, I did stay an extra day in the hospital... wish they had left me longer though! Besides the pain (ouch! thank goodness for pain killers, but even those are not fully cutting it!), I wouldn't have minded staying longer since I would have been closer to my little boy.
But, it is nice to go home to your own bed. I've been pumping every 2-3 hours trying to get my milk going so it's been VERY tiring. I really would love a full night's sleep, but I really want to supply my little love bug with whatever I can to help him grow strong.
Anywho, that's about it. I look forward to sharing and learning with you all! Here's a pic of my little boy on the day he was born - courtesy of Lexi Bella's Maria!!! Check out her blog for a realllllly touching picture of my little boy as well.

Congratulations! He is precious!
I also crossed over to parenting sooner than expected. My DD wasn't due until December but made her appearance in October. I will be thinking if you and your little guy . Feel free to fm if you have any questions.

Re: Crossing over to Parenting... a little sooner than I thought!
YAY YESI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome welcome welcome welcome!!!! You really kept us on our toes there for a few days!!!!! Henry is just OMG I saw Maria's blog pic and cried  I just love his name too You sound GREAT and we are so thrilled for you. H will be out of the NICU soon (I know each day must feel like a week right now though) and he'll be so strong and healthy when he gets home so don't worry!!!! Great job with the pumping, that too gets easier!!!!
Those painkillers do work hon, but nothing help as much as rest so get COMFORTABLE and rest rest rest!!!!
OH and just a little *tip cause I was a dummy with the painkillers and kept waiting until the pain was CRAAAAAZY to take them. Apparently that's all wrong - your pain comes like a wAVe, so you really want your meds to pEAk with the pain, so take 'em earlier and they'll be more effective. I apologize if you are doing this but I was wildly uninformed about the whole painkiller thing 
We're here if you need anything of course or just want to kill some time!!!
Congrats again and welcome to motherhood, albeit a little early!!!!!!
