12 days until we meet you - Thursday August 20th

Dear Baby Ethan,

We had another quiet night.  I had a tough time getting back to sleep after taking my nifedipine at 3 am.  I ended up staying up to read for a few hours.  Your sister Rose is a little heavy for her age. I have a bit of guilt about that.  I was reading a book about children and it talked about how babies that it is an indication that a baby is overfed if they spit alot.  Rose has always drooled a lot.  It is tough to not feed a baby that is crying though.  Perhaps I should have tried other things to calm her down rather than feeding.

I got to have a nice dinner with your daddy and Rose.  Rose and I then read some books while your daddy took a shower.  Rose played in the sink and got quite wet, as always.  Then we changed her and went outside for a bit around 8.  It was getting dark by then.  I can't believe it is fall!

Sad frownie face as Rose got tired!

So far we have spent 36 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!

Upcoming Events.

Your Ummichi, Uppuchen, and Auntie Dainy will be here Friday August  21st for baby Anna Beth's baptism.  Your Ummichi will be here for a bit to help take care of Anna and Rose.  That is just TOMORROW, when you will be almost 34 weeks along and in even better shape to be born.

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 12 days!

Love you,

Mommy
