WOW!!! Thank all of you for the well wishes and encouraging stories. I wish I could respond to each of you individually.
Things are going as well as they can. My wife's vitals were rapidly degenerative earlier today but have slowed down. That means Molly can stay inside a little longer and at this point every hour counts.
Thank y'all again so much! I'll be sure to update all of you that have sent such encouraging words.

That's good news and, yes, every bit of time helps. Are they giving her some steroids for the baby's lungs?
Stay positive. It's scary, but stay positive especially for your wife. If the success stories help her, then tell them to her. Those stories helped me and helped the mother, though for some reason, she didn't get nervous until just before the surgery. That was a good thing, though. She didn't ever feel badly the entire time.

If you don't mind, what hospital is your wife and soon to be girl at?
Asking because like LSUNURSE said Womans here in Baton Rouge is one of the hospitals where you have your private room so you can stay as much as you want. Also, like she said about holding or touching your baby go for it. Most parents think they're going to hurt their baby. They are not near as fragile as you think, you'll see when the nurses handle your baby. As long as the docs/nurses say the extra stimulation is ok then go for it.

Keep thethe faith sir. I was way early due to an internal hemorage. My mom was fine and I'm typing to you now!
Keep your head up. She needs you to be unwavering. If you get down, get on here and voice it. You need a place to vent let it go.
Be strong for her and your little girl. Y'all are all stronger than you think!

I pray God's blessings and healing on your wife and baby. As a dad of two little ones, I can't imagine the anxiety you are going through. I bet it seems like every minute is an hour. Stay strong dad and

Sending out some love and saying prayers to the Big Guy for you, your wife, and your baby girl.
I delivered my 2nd child at 30 weeks due to preeclampsia. Checked into the hospital with 212/120 bp that would not come down despite pushing various meds in my IV. My daughter weighed 2lbs. 12oz. and was 15-inches long at birth. She thankfully did not suffer many complications and was able to come home exactly one month after being born, and weighed only 3lbs. 14oz. I've never been so scared in my life and the feeling of coming home from the hospital without a baby was devastating and I cried a lot. Hug your wife tightly and tell her you love her and that everything will be OK. She will need that daily. You'll spend many days and nights in the NICU, but as another person said, just accept it as your new normal. And YES to Kangaroo Care, which is so beneficial to the baby.
My daughter is now 2 and in the 90th percentile for height and 60th for weight, and overall doing wonderful. Those little babies are stronger and tougher than you know... they called mine "feisty" and "spicy" while she was there, and she still is today. :-)
Wishing you and your family nothing but the best!
