my water broke shortly after i posted. it was a lot of fluid, but mostly blood. we were rushed to the or, where genny was born just 10 minutes later. complete placental abruption and wrapped tightly in her cord. they have no idea how long it had been since the placenta separated, but she is not breathing on her own. however, she is much bigger than they thought she would be!
i will try to update often, as you ladies have given me more support than my own family, and i don't know where i'd be without you.
keep praying ladies, it's a long road ahead.

Afternoon update, please keep up the prayers:
Thank you ALL! I am having Sean print out each post and attach it to Genny's isolete.
I have been sleeping since I first posted this morning...They took Genny away to a bigger hospital so they could better care for her. I will not see her again (outside of pictures Sean sends) until they let me out of here, which I am trying hard to negotiate for tomorrow. They want me to stay until Fri/Sat because of the abruption and blood loss. I made Sean promise to stay with Genny, no matter what.
Because my cycle was so irregular, there is still no definate answer as to how far along I was, but because she's so big they want to treat her as a 28-29wkr, which would've put my EDD in Sept, not Oct.
She is still not breathing on her own and she is unresponsive to stimuli. I was told her APGARs were 0, 2 and 4. She has not opened her eyes and has already 'crashed' once. They are currently giving her only a 30% chance. But I have more faith than that and I know my Oct ladies do, too.
Right now my cell phone updates, gospel music, and BBC are keeping my sanity in check, so keep checking for updates. I can only hope that I get to see my baby soon.
Keep praying, ladies!
