10 days until we meet you - Saturday August 22nd

Dear Baby Ethan,

We had a quiet night for the most part.  Around 4:30 am I felt a trickle and thought I might be bleeding.  But, the fluid was totally clear.  The doctors told me to let them know if I felt any other fluids come out, and we could do an ultrasound check.  They took my blood to make sure that I have some "typed" blood in the blood bank in case I need a transfusion.

Apparently it is quite a busy day at the hospital, they had already delivered 13 babies by 10 am! I had a hard time getting my medications.

So far we have spent 38 days in the hospital.  I'm so excited that we are on the home stretch, just 10 days until we meet you! I am praying you stay in me that long, so you can be healthy and strong.   Dear Lord, please help Ethan's lungs, digestive tract, GI tract, bowels, eyes, ears, and all systems to be in great working order.  Please help him to not have asthma and help pumping and breast feeding to go well.  Saint Blaise, Saint Rose of Lima, Saint Antony please pray for my baby Ethan that he would stay inside until September 1st.

Thank you Lord that we have made it this far, we made it to 34 weeks!  Please be with my baby Ethan and help him to be strong and healthy.  Please help him to be able to go home with us on Friday September 4th.  I know he will have to be in the NICU for at least two days for monitoring.  Please help all of us to get able to go to church together on September 6th.

Your Ummichi, Uppuchen, and Auntie Dainy are in town!  Auntie Dainey and Uppuchen are leaving next Wednesday.  Ummichi will be here until September 15th.  I am praying that you have been home a week or two by then.  They came by for a bit in the evening we were outside for just a bit, then everyone but your daddy all went to Lincoln.
Rose got some exciting ankle bracelets that jingle. So now we will always know where she is!

Your daddy stayed and watched a cute movie called echo with me. He was feeling a bit sick, so he did not stay the night.

Upcoming Events.

We will likely get to see how your growth is going next week.  They will consider doing a scan of you next week, perhaps on Monday the 24th, to be sure your growth is going well.

Your birthday will likely be September 1st!  Just 10 days!

Love you,

Mommy
