Dear Baby Ethan,
We had a good quiet night. I was actually able to get to sleep after taking my nifedipine at 3 am. I did not end up taking graham crackers, so I did not have to get up to brush my teeth. I might have to try that again tonight.
I spent some time today watching videos, and reading resources on pumping and breastfeeding preemie babies. There were some great videos, and log sheets here http://health.ucsd.edu/specialties/obgyn/maternity/newborn/nicu/spin/parents/Pages/default.aspx
I pray that you will have a great suck, swallow, and breathe skills! But if not, I will need to figure out pumping.
I got another visit from Deacon Michael from church. I so appreciate still being able to have the body of Christ while I am here at the hospital. I pray Lord that we will get to have my baby Ethan with us so we can go as a family of four for my first service in a month and a half on Sunday September 6th!
Your Ummichi, Uppachen, and Auntie Dainy came by. We had some snacks with them, and went to play outside a bit and show them where we hang out every night. I sent home some of your new clothes people have given you with them. I wanted to be sure they were all washed and ready to go for you!
I found a good blog post on good period dramas that are streaming on Netflix. I watched "Death Comes to Pemberly", it was quite good! I saved one episode for tomorrow.
So far we have spent 37 days in the hospital. I'm so excited that we are on the home stretch, less than two weeks 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, almost 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 his
Upcoming Events.
Your Ummichi, Uppuchen, and Auntie Dainy will be here today! Auntie Dainey and Uppuchen are leaving next Wednesday. Ummichi will be here until September 15th. I am praying that you have been hope a week or two by then.
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 11 days!
Love you,
Mommy
