15 days until we meet you - Monday August 17th

Dear Baby Ethan,

Unfortunately we had more bleeding issues this morning.  About 6 am when I got up to be weighed there was a trickle of blood.  That happened periodically for an hour or so.  I got up to go to the bathroom at 7:20 and a clot came out. There was just spotting by lunch time.

The doctors are concerned a big bleed is more likely now, so they want to deliver you at 35 weeks.  They are also going to give me the second round of steroid shots to help your lungs mature.  We are now scheduled to deliver you at 7 am on September 1st.

I enjoyed having a dance party with Rose and your dad. Rose also showed me her art from daycare.

So far we have spent 33 days in the hospital.  I'm so excited that we are on the home stretch, just a few weeks until we meet you! I am praying you stay in me that long, so you can be healthy and strong.

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 3 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 15 days!

Love you,

Mommy
