Arriving in Rome 12/7/05
My first few days at 29 weeks...I arrived in Rome on 12/8. I had a great three days and at 4 am on 12/11 I had menstrual cramps and 2 hours later I gave birth prematurely in Rome at 29 weeks to my baby boy Nicolas Antonio Glaviano Dunne.
He is only 3 lbs. I will be living in Rome next to the hospital and the Vatican for a month and not home until January 2006! Please pray for us, Nicolas has jaundice but breathes entirely on his own. They said that is the best part. His lungs are totally developed at least. They found some white spots in his brain that show there is inflammation. He likely has meningitis which is why he came out early. I must have contracted an infection or injury before I came which i did not know about. He is on med's which should take it away but I will not know for 4 days. I am still in shock. They said I will never know when or how I got an infection. I had no signs no problems.
I will let you know updates as it happens.
What a story huh? Leave it to me to screw up something like a vacation and a pregnancy which other people seem to do quite well...but not me.
Take care guys...I hope to see/talk to you in January. Let me know your news as well. It will keep me company getting emails from all of you.
Love - Georgina
