29 week preemie - I'm scared...

[npace19147]

My baby was due August 16 but she was a little impatient...came on Monday 5/31 at just 29 weeks. We named her Juliana Caitlin and she was born a good size, 3lb. 3 oz. but I'm still just so scared! She's so little, and they found some bruising in her brain, and all we can do is wait and see what happens.

My milk finally seems to have come in after a painful week of trying to pump, so at least I feel like I'm doing that for her. It's so hard feeling so helpless, even though I know she's getting the best medical care.

All good thoughts in our direction are most appreciated!

Nancy,
Praying for Juliana, you, and your family. I know I would be scared too and I'm sure it is so hard to wait. Little Juliana knows you all are with her and that is sooo important.

Good luck and keep us posted!
