4 days until we meet you - Friday August 28th

Dear Baby Ethan,

It's Friday! Just one more work day for me after today.  I am praying that you and I are both going home one week from today.

Unfortunately my new IV spot is still quite sore.  It was actually even painful when the nurse was flushing it last night.  I was really hoping the IV spot would calm down.  I'm not sure that is going to happen though.

Your Aunt Daisy, Uncle Kevin, and Anna Beth came by.  They brought your Ummichi from Lincoln to stay with us for a bit.  It was great to see Anna again.  She's holding her head up very well now.  I have to get used to having a wee bobble headed baby again!

Then your daddy and Rose came by.  We ate dinner, daddy took a shower, and we went outside for a few minutes.  But, then it started misting!

After everyone left, my nurse Jenny came by.  Unfortunately my IV had entirely stopped flushing! Jenny was able to get an IV in quickly.  But, the location is less than ideal, it is in my wrist.  So, it is a bit sensitive.

So far we have spent 44 days in the hospital.  I'm so excited that we are on the home stretch, just 4 days 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, we made it to almost 35 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 us to get able to go to church together on September 6th.

Your birthday will likely be September 1st!  Just 4 days!

Love you,

Mommy
