Yesterday, I posted here that I'm almost 31 weeks pregnant. I had that on scheduled post. Unfortunately, early Sunday morning on April 22, I woke up from sleep because blood was already gushing out of me. I tried to get up but even very small movements will make a lot of blood gush out. I woke hubby up and saw how anxious he became when he saw I was lying in a pool of blood on my bed. He called up my sister and asked for help to bring me to the hospital. They came after 15 minutes and in half an hour I was already at the hospital.
At the hospital, the profuse bleeding stopped when we arrived. My OB still wanted to give it time that maybe I might be able to survive this because the baby is only 30 weeks old. I was placed under observation in the labor room. But at 3:00pm, I started bleeding again. A decision was made to terminate the pregnancy in order to save me.
Our baby boy, Zachary Daniel, was born at 6:03pm. He is only 30 weeks old and is now in the incubator. I am very emotional about this all. At turns, crying then being thankful to the Lord that I and our baby are alive!
I just want to say thank you to all of you who prayed for us. Thank you to the people who sent text messages to my hubby. One of the things that weighed heavy on my heart was that there was no one available to be with my hubby when he was waiting for news about me. My operation - caesarian section and hysterectomy - took 3 hours to finish. He was waiting all alone.
I am recovering now. Our baby boy is in NICU and though the neonatologist said that he improved this morning, we still have no assurance of anything. Please continue to pray for our son, my recovery and our family's adjustment to this new and precious member of our family. Online casino Ireland. ###

Praying, praying, praying..... (((hugs)))
Oh, Michelle. I'm definitely praying for you. I remember the helpless, emotional days when our preemie was born. I'm praying for an uneventful NICU stay for Zachary -- that he'll grow without complications. I'm also praying for your recovery, both physically and emotionally. (((Hugs)))
I wks praying! I can't imagine the roller coaster of emotions you are managing!
Praying for everyone. Thank you for sharing so we can pray.
Michelle, I am praying for you and precious Zachary. I will also continue praying for your family as well.
Praying for you and your tiny little one.
Praying for both of you. Please Dear God watch over this tiny baby who desperately needs your care. Help his Mom and Dad be anxious in nothing and give them strength to get through this hard time. In Jesus Name.
Aw Michele, I prayed for you just yesterday morning with my devotions. I am sad that this happened but glad that you and your son seem to be doing well. I pray now for your recovery and for your son's health. I am sorry you had to have a hysterectomy and pray for your emotional state as well as physical state as you deal with all this. I pray you son gains weight and strength with each passing hour and that he has no complications. I pray for the doctors and nurses caring for him that they would have wisdom from God to do just the right things for him. I pray for your family as they adjust to the new little one in the family and pray God's blessing on you all. Hugs,
I will be praying for you and your son, Michelle. I am so sorry you had to have an emergency c-section, and a hysterectomy. Praying your son will grow stronger every day.
please keep us posted... much to pray about!
Praying for all, Michelle. Don't feel guilt for anything. 30 weeks has a much better survival rate than earlier, so you went as long as possible. You'll have a long road ahead of you so will pray for your health and mental state to stay strong.
Praying for you, your family and baby Zachary for continued health and safety.
Praying for you and your family during this time.
My heart goes out to you. I've lost a baby thru miscarriage and I would never want any Mom to experience the same. Thank God that your baby's alive! Let us now just focus on the blessings of life for both of you, good health and strength. No need to worry. God takes charge from hereon. Congratulations!
Hi Tita Michelle! This is Sarah Coyle!
I am so excited about Zachary and I will keep him in my prayers. I will also pass this information on to my mom so she can pray for you all too. Much love and blessings!
Praying for your family. I've been in a similar situation. My 17 year old son was born at 31 weeks gestation. He weighed 4 lbs 10 oz and stayed in the NICU for 5 weeks 1 day. Try to stay focused on only 1 day at a time.
There are no words...except to The Father on your behalf. I am so sorry, but trusting God that in His infinite wisdom He will make beauty out of this time. May He continue to heal you, fully complete little Zachary, and give all of you a wellspring of strength, courage, and peace.
You remain in my thoughts and prayers, Michelle.
Blessings,
PK
Dear Michelle,

Lean on Him and you will be safe and secure in His will for you and your family.
Again, my family and I are praying faithfully for you.
Under the Shadow of His Wings,

Hey Michelle,
Congratulations, and welcome, Zachary! Twenty-one years ago my son, Davis, was in neonatal, and the doctors and nurses were phenomenal...full of love. I still fondly recall their tenderness. I pray that you and Zachary have the same extravagant attention and care, and that his growth is miraculous! We serve an awesome God! Love you!
Diane
