Well it looks like what they said would/could happen did! We were planning on delivery at 36 weeks if nothing happened before hand, we were not that lucky! We came to the hospital late Saturday night (33 weeks) because of a slight bleeding scare...again! They said they wanted to keep me here overnight to make sure everything was OK! On Sunday morning the doctor told me I was here til I delivered! I fell apart & looked like a red eyed dragon all day! Bed rest for 3 weeks? Could always be worse! The next day my doctor told me at this point they wanted to move the delivery up to 34 weeks! Safer to bail out when they can go in prepared then wait til it's an emergency!
I am now 34 weeks & 2 days! been here for 8 days laying around eating, reading, sleeping, staring, visiting, hoping, praying, waiting...sounds like a lazy dream vacation, but I would rather be at home with my babies! I am scheduled for Tuesday! I am nervous and calm at the same time! There are so many unknowns with this delivery that I can't wait to be on the other side of the surgery and on the mend!
I know I am leaving this hospital without a few bits and pieces just not sure exactly what! They are very confident that things will go well for me and for baby! She has had her steroids to help her lungs develop quicker & hopefully my lazy eating week has helped to plump her up a bit. I am hoping her little body adjusts quickly to this world & that we can take our little girl home sooner than later!
It's hard to express in words how much I already love her and hope so much for her! I can't wait to bring her home to join our family & add her to my collection of beautiful babies, they are so excited too! Don & I are so blessed to have the amazing kids we do!
Thanks to all my Family, Friends & neighbors for your visits, phone calls & prayers! I don't know what we did to deserve such wonderful people in our lives, but are so thankful! Thanks to my Jennifer for making my hospital room a pregnant photo studio & feeding me pizza!Love to all! I will post pictures of our pretty little wonder as soon as I can!
We wish you the best in everything. You have beautiful kids and I'm sure this baby will fit right into that mix as well. Take care.

My gosh Jaymie! How is possibly to be so absolutely gorgeous when you're on bed rest in the hospital! =) Our little family will be praying for you and for baby Hollie. You are an amazing woman! I can't wait to hear the beautiful birth story!
ReplyDeleteYou look way too cute pregnant!! You have such a cute family, I am excited to see your new addition. We will be praying for you and hoping for the best for you and the baby.
ReplyDeleteCan I say I'm jealous AND relieved that I'm not experiencing what you are? And can I say I'm uberously excited and cautiously worried at the same time too?
ReplyDeleteLots of love and happiness for your whole beautiful family! Can't wait to see little photos!
Wow! That's amazing. God Bless you! I hope all goes well. Science is amazing but you hate to depend on it so much. And Miracles come but you hate to beg for them, we already owe God so much, right? I hope miracles are with your family now. What an adventure this has been for you guys. Good stories to tell your littlest one someday.
