Preterm Labor and Mom's Hospital Days (How About the Other Kiddos?!)

I would just like to give you the description of what happened a week prior to Mico's birth.
September 07, 2009 : Julie noticed spotting, ignored it since she will see Dr. Ramos the next day.

September 08, 2009: Dr. Ramos did an internal exam, and verified with Julie that cervix is still closed.


September 09, 2009: Spotting continues and pressure on Julie's legs are getting heavy.


September 10, 2009: Spotting is still present, and getting in moderate amount, plus pressure on lower extemities gets moderately heavy. An on-call MD was notified, and he advised to observe it.


September 11, 2009: Spotting was heavier, still mommy Julie had to go to work for last day of the week, because she had the feeling that something is going on.


September 12, 2009: Early AM, Dr. Firpo was notified, the on-call OB Gyn assigned this day was the one who verified that she is 3-4 cm dilated and needs to stay in the hospital for observation due to the bag of water is low already and may break anytime. Mike and Julie had to fix the other kiddos first prior leaving the house. Mike had to go back home at 1030AM from work since Julie was not really feeling well, cramping that extends in the back is consistent.


God really has a plan for everything, family friend Jennifer and Ben Wong would be going to have a cruise with their baby Mia for their wedding anniversary, and apparently Jennifer's mom, tita Linda is available to watch the kids. So she went over to the house to help and stayed with the kiddos.

Here are some of the few pictures how they looked like when mommy Julie was confined already in the hospital during September 12, 2009-September 19,2009. Kiddos were trying to reach mommy Julie over the phone. Some pictures also show that daddy Mike bring them outside to enjoy the swing while waiting for mommy and baby Mico be home.
