I'm headed to the hospital!!!
 

My Aunt's water just broke!!!!

This an adoption baby! And I have become very close with the new family and my Aunt and I are only 9 years apart so we are the best of friends... so this has been one heck of a ride! I'm going on a cruise with her in October! her way of rewarding herself for all the time spent as an incubator! lol And me... well who says no to a cruise??? Not I!!!!

So this is it!!! Its time!!!! I'm going to go watch the baby be born and this amazing couple become parents!!! I'm so excited!!! And whats even more amazing is how dedicated my Aunt is to this adoption... she has zero attachment... we met the family early and bonded with them, so it has been their baby the entire time... there has never been any question about that.. She is just as excited for them as anything!! Infact she was begging them to fly down early!! And its a good thing she did!!!! She wanted them here to cut the cord and be the first ones to hold their son!!!! YEAH!!!!! I'm actually crying again!!!! lol

I'll let you all know how it goes!!!!

Aww your aunt is awsome for giving the gift of life to people that cant concieve :thumbup: This will be wonderful for you to experience, good luck at the hospital, i hope the delivery goes well! :)

I just can't wait!!!!
I'm just wraping up a few things so I can go! lol

Its going to be one heck of a night!!! This is her 4th delivery... So this one should slide right out!! she has 3 children of her own... this one was not planned, and she is not married now, and she found out when she was pretty far along... so this was the best option! And its so amazing! The parents are amazing!!!! Its just been a beautiful thing for everyone!!

Go, girl, and enjoy the blessed event! Your Auntie must be an earthly angel.

What a wonderful thing your aunt is doing.
Good luck

How wonderful! Congratulations to all of you :)

How wonderful!

Congratulations!

Ohhh Kathryn how exciting!!! keep us posted and I wish the birth mom all the luck in the world, hope all goes well!!!

We want pictures girl!!!!

keep us updated!!!

Oh guys... I don't even know where to begin...

Its very late... or early, depending on how you look at it....

I just got home, cried my eyes out while Brian, my amazing husband held me.... I did not cry once at the hospital....

Cameron, thats my Aunts name... Had an amniotic embolism, which caused her to seize... They did not know the cause at the time... Just knew she was crashing, not breathing, and baby was in danger.... They rushed her in for an emg c section...

Long story short, mainly cause I don't think I can do all of the details right now.... She is in ICU almost 8 hours later after 61/2 hours in surgery, they could not get her bleeding to stop, they have been pumping blood products in her like mad, and she is extremely unstable... Her lungs have shut down and are damaged, her kidney's are toast.... They believe her brain is very damaged... She is not sedated but in a coma.. She is not expected to recover from her injuries.

God, I can't believe I just typed that! we gathered all of the family to see her tonight.... the Trauma surgeon said that it would be a good idea... so everyone at least has seen her...

This was not supposed to happen like this! She was supposed to deliver and be fine! The baby is amazing! Healthy as can be! She should be too! I just don't understand! I really never even considered that this could happen.... Who would have thought??? She was so flippen healthy... its just not fair! She does this great thing... And loses her life in the process??? I don't get it??? I can't get it! There is nothing to get in that! It makes no sense at all!!!!!

Anyway.... I will be going back in the am to see the adoptive parents and ofcorse, I hope, see Cameron! God, I better see her!!!

I took something to help me sleep, so hopefully I'll be out soon... I hope! Sorry If I don't return PM's I'm not going to be around much for the next couple of days I'm guessing... I'll check in when I can....

Thank you all for your well wishes! They mean alot to me!! I just wish I had better news to report....

Thanks guys....

Kathryn

OMG... I am so sorry. I will definately be praying for the family and those children. I am pregnant myself and I couldn't imagine...I am shocked I don't think women ever think of anything going wrong with themselves, but always think more of the baby. This is just so hard to accept for me, I can imagine how it is for you. I am glad that you were there for her through everything. I am sure that even though she can't tell you right now, she's thankful that you were there for her and she wasn't alone.

I am so sorry for this! I am praying right now for your family and Cameron! I do know that people HAVE recovered from this exact thing. Very scary! Prayers are coming...so sorry...

Oh my goodness, I read the top of the thread and was smiling and happy, then scrolled on down and I am so sorry about what has happened. My heart goes out to your aunt. I hope everything works out for her and she recovers. The poor lady. Gosh. I'll be thinking about her and you as well. Prayers going out to your family.
