Keep me and my girlfriend in your thoughts

As some of you already know, my girlfriend is pregnant. This isn't something we planned, or that I wanted. I have emotionally been having a horrible time with it. Anyway, thats not the point.

As of yesterday my girlfriend was rushed to the ER with labored breathing. She has had pneumonia over 70 times in her life due to a deformed airway in one lung. You guessed it, she has pneumonia, in both lungs. She was scheduled to be induced tomorrow as it was. Now they don't think she has the strength to go through with the labor and are doing a C section. Anesthesia doesn't want to deal with her yet, because of her labored breathing. It may get pushed back until Thursday. As of now, everything is in chaos. They can't keep her blood pressure down, and her oxygen level up. They have it somewhat stable finally but not exactly where they want it. They are giving her steroids and antibiotics to try to get her healthy enough for Wednesday.

Her and I already weren't doing well before this at all. The baby, and the decisions that needed to be made were already tearing us apart. To top it off, I myself am still dealing with being sick as well, her mom is on antibiotics AND her father is getting sick as well.

Sorry if any of this didn't make sense. I haven't been sleeping or eating well an am kinda on autopilot. I guess I just needed to get this all out. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Oh, you all know what I look like. Here is a picture of her.

Just as I posted this I got a phone call. I get to rush back up there. Baby's fluid is low, so they may c section tonight.

You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

I wish all the best for all of you concerned.

Hugs & Good Vibes on the way to you now ;)

I wish both of you the best.

When I have I rough time with life in general, I just remind myself this...

If God brings you to it, no worries, he will lead you through it ;)

Prayers and best wishes to you, your lady and the precious child about to be born.

Good luck, bro. I hope everything turns out okay and that everyone involved stays safe. As for the kid, make the most of it, it could end up being the best thing that ever happened to you. You never know. When life gives you "lemons"...

Good luck my friend, I hope everything goes well.

If you have the time, please keep us updated.

I wish all the best to you and your gf :)

You will all be in my thoughts. I truly hope everyone is feeling much better very soon.

You're all in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could do more!

You're all in my thoughts.

Good luck and hang in there.

You and your girlfriend are in my prayers.

Hang tough. You are in my prayers.

You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

You, your GF and that precious baby are in my thoughts tonight. Please let us know . . . .

All my best thoughts and karma heading your way.

Thank you all. I am home for a bit while she rests. They are doing the C section at 8 am assuming they can get her breathing stabilized.

Hey bro hang in there. And don't worry about the kid as soon as it comes out you will want nothing more then to be with that child. It is a rough road if you and your GF want to make it together you will. Best of luck my friend God has got your back. Keep us updated, and get us some pictures as soon as that little booger gets out in the world!

Give your problems to God because he's the only one strong enough to fix things. Anything is possible through him! God Bless

Thinking good thoughts for girlfriend's health, and for a good birth for the baby.
Just be sure of what you both want after the birth. You are both responsible for a new life, who will need care and love. It's very stressful right now, but you'll make it through this. THen you can sit and discuss with the mom what you both want to do in life, and how you can achieve it while taking care of a child.

Sending thoughts and prayers your way.

good luck i hope everythign went / goes well as someone already stated this child might very well make your life happier. only time will tell. good luck! you, your girlfriend, and your child are in my thoughts!

I didn't get to read all the post, but best of luck. Please keep us updated!

I am sorry I missed this yeaterday but you and your family will definately be in my prayers!!! I hope everyone gets better and all goes well with you, your girlfriend and the baby!!!!

We will keep all three of you in our prayers.

Thank you all. Our son, who mom has yet to decide on a name for, was born yesterday at 8:49am by C section. He was 7.4lbs, and 20 inches long.

Now the real work will begin of getting mom healed from the surgery and pneumonia, and her and I picking up the pieces of our relationship that have fallen apart over the last many months.

Again, thank you all very much.

Congrats to you, your girlfriend and Stormwulf Jr!

Congratulations!!!

:hug:

CONGRATS! Tell your girlfriend to get better, and love your son a lot!

congrats man!!! good luck to you and your girlfriend. i hope you guys mend the broken pieces of your relationship and start over a new and better couple! with a child! congrats!

Congrats on the birth of your son dude!

I hope you and your girl are able to work it out. Trust me, with a child now involved, it's going to be a long difficult road ahead but it's SO worth it. My bf (solidsnaker) and I did not plan or expect to have our son when we did, we were both kinda young and had only been dating/living together for 2 1/2 months! (we were friends for a couple months before that but still!) anyway, 5 years later and a ton of crap later, we're still together and much happier at this point in our lives! there were times were we thought about just giving up on the relationship but realized our love for each other was strong and worth fighting for. Oh and FYI, patching up a relationship may be hard for the first couple months if your gf has any postpartum depression...I did and boy i thought for sure me and my bf wouldn't make it through but we did...

gosh i sound like a "dr. phil" lol anywho, i'll shut up now and i wish you the best of luck! ~~sending good vibes and luv to you guys~~ :) :)

Feel free to send any PMs if you have any questions on how we dealt with Postpartum depression. It's a rough, rough road and the more you know, the better it'll be for you and your family!

Congratulations on the birth of a healthy boy!

My first child was an unplaned C-section so be kind to her right now. It's not a nice way to enter into motherhood the first time around.

Just try to remember that pregnancy is always stressful on us women, being young and not planning for having the baby just makes it that much tougher on the mom and on you trying to deal with her emotions and fears and your own as well. The next few weeks will also be rough as she adjusts to caring for a fully dependent infant and you adjust to fatherhood and whatever role the two of you decide you will have in her and the baby's daily life.

Even in the best of situations dads often end up just having to bite their tongues around new moms. Ask my husband LOL. Even though our last was my 4th and I certainly knew what to expect, being sleep deprived with your post-pregnancy floppy belly and your sore boobs (and her had to have a abdominal birth) - well it can make any female really, really, REALLY oversensitive. Learn to grit your teeth and look supportive! :)

In the end, whatever you and she work out as your relationship, you've both been given the blessing of this wonderous new life to love and raise. You'll never be the same man, but you'll be better because you're a dad now.

Congrats, Your in my thoughts a prayers. I hope everything turns out well. Good Luck.

Congratulations. I will keep you, your girlfriend, and your new son in my daily prayers.

And just one more thank you to everyone out there. Alex, my gf, was able to go home today. It was a perfect day for it, with the snow and freezing rain and all. But she made it home ok and so did our son, Devin Michael.

This may not be what I wanted in life, but I stood by her during the hardest part, while she was in the hospital and was there in the delivery room with her. Where we go from here I do not know. We either take the long difficult road of building back all that we lost of our relationship, and see if the attraction comes back, or we go our own separate ways. Either way I am confident that he will have a great life either with his mother, or with us together.

For anyone who cares....
