29 days until we meet you - Monday August 10th

Dear Baby Ethan,

I'm so excited that we get to meet you in less than a month! We had a very nice and quiet night.  I went to bed early.  I was quite tired from the morning.

We will likely wait a few days to do the trans-vaginal ultrasound to make sure my uterus has calmed down.  I had hoped that perhaps the placenta had moved out of the way.  That seems less likely given the bleed that happened on Sunday August 9th.  The high risk doctor indicated they do still want to know my cervical length.  As long as I have no other issues they will check it out on Thursday.  They might also check your fluid levels at that time.

I'm having some low blood pressure due to the nifedipine. I'm trying to drink a lot to combat that. We will probably try to reduce my dosage in the next few days. I might have to take it until you are born to be sure labor does not start.

Cindi and Sara from work came by to visit.  My lovely boss Michelle has a birthday coming up.  Cindi was sweet enough to help us coordinate picking up some wine, card, and a bag for her.

We had a nice visit with your daddy and Rose. It was so lovely outside.

So far we have been in the hospital 26 nights, since July 20th.

Upcoming Events.

Saturday, August 15th, is the 6 year anniversary for your daddy and I! We got married August 15, 2009 in Kansas City. I feel so lucky and blessed to have a good husband that is so low maintenance.  We will likely be celebrating on Friday night with some Chipolte.

Your Ummichi will be here Friday August  21st for baby Anna Beth's baptism.  She will be here for a bit to help take care of Anna and Rose.  That is just 4 weeks from today, when you will be 34 weeks along and in even better shape to be born.

We will likely get to see how your growth is going on August 31st, and potentially sooner to see if the placenta is still in the way.

Your birthday will likely be September 8th!  Just 29 days!

Love you,

Mommy
