*update & more pics pg 2* Bentley's birth story...5 weeks pr

So yesterday I woke up and lost my plug, plus bits and pieces throughout the day....I even posted on here about it lol. Then around 3pm, at work, I had straight blood and something watery. The blood stopped the water did not. I was walking around work in a frantic and a good amount of water came out. I KNEW it was my water. So I let my coworkers know, called Chris to let him know so he could get our bags together, and headed home to change.

Got to the hospital at around 5pm and they did the culture of the fluid, positive. Time to have a baby! However, not at my hospital because they didnt have a NICU so I was transported to another one about 35 min away. We finally got to the new one by 9pm. I was a 2-3, 80%, and -2 station. My contractions were pretty irregular and not doing anything to my cervix so they gave me an oral dose of Cytotec. My contrations started getting closer and more painful. I got my epi and fell asleep. Woke up at 330 and they checked me I was 4cm. Then a few min later I started feeling my contractions pretty intensely so she checked me again and I was complete! i couldnt believe it.

At 4:35am we started pushing and in less than a push he was out. I immediately fell in love. Tons of dark hair and little. 6lbs even and 18.5in long.

He was admitted into the NICU shortly after birth because his lungs were immature. They put him on a CPAP at 27% oxygen and a feeding tube. His breathing is very labored. He is slowly getting better tho. He isnt grunting trying to breath near as much. He isn't keeping down food now so he will be started on an IV. They say he will be home within 2 weeks.

Its sooo hard not being able to hold him. I feel helpless  


Well here are links to pics (im still in the hospital and on my phone). Can someone post them for me?
