Dear Baby Ethan,
We had more bleeding issues this morning from 3:20 to about 5:20. At 5:20 I went to the bathroom and a clot came out. We have just had some spotting since then. I am hoping this will not change any of our plans for you to be inside me at least until you are 35 weeks and 3 days. Dr. Satpathy said we might even be able to push past our new delivery date if I don't have any more bleeds. That seems unlikely that I won't have any more though.
I had my second steroid shot to help your lungs! It sounds like this should help reduce chances of bowel issues and brain bleeds also according to this site. Optimal benefit begins 24 hours after initiation of therapy and lasts 7 days. However, it sounds like benefits go past the 7 day mark also.
I found out my neighbor Laura had her baby yesterday at 36 weeks, her baby still had some respiratory distress. So, the baby had to go to the NICU.
It's a rainy day here in Omaha. I am praying that our basement stays dry. Apparently the basement had backups a few times due to tree roots. We had the tree roots roto rootered before we bought the house. We probably need to to it again next spring.
I spent an hour or so with your daddy and Rose. We had a nice time having dinner, and then went outside for a bit. It was chilly though! All of the train cooled things down.
So far we have spent 34 days in the hospital. I'm so excited that we are on the home stretch, just 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.
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 2 days from today, 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 14 days!
Love you,
Mommy
