The first 4 months she was on bed rest at home but the final 3 weeks were in the hospital, unable to even roll over, much less walk anywhere.
The baby was over 7 pounds at 37 weeks, so that weight was pushing down into her already straining pelvis. Had we gone to 40 weeks... well, I couldn't imagine what would have happened.
Not every pregnancy goes wonderfully perfect.  |
Damn, brave and strong woman!!!
Three weeks in the hospital.
You're Canadian as I recall. Ballpark, how much will the hospital stay cost you? In the U.S., I am guessing it would run $10,000+ dollars, even if you have insurance.
BTW, Tyler is probably going to be a tough kid...might want to put a hockey stick and other gear in his crib.
