Dear Baby Ethan,
It's Thursday! Just one day until the weekend! I decided to ask the Benedictines, Mary Queen of Apostles a group of nuns in Missouri to pray a novena for you starting on September 15th. I pray that you will be hope with us and doing great by then. It might be a tougher time starting then because your Ummichi will be doing home to Liberal that day!
Mentally I am so ready to be out of this hospital. But, I am starting to feel guilty about delivering you next week. We have not had any bleeding issues since the 17th and 18th of August. Even those were quite small. I am hoping to talk to the high risk doctors about it. It is Dr. Lovgren that is on today. I spoke to Dr. Lovgren. He feels strongly that the bleeding issues I had from weeks 28 to 35, when the lower part of the uterus was expanding, show that my placenta is a bit unstable. He feels strongly 35 weeks should have been our due date for quite awhile because of my bleeding issues. He understands that it would be good for you to have more days inside me. But, you would be a health 35 weeks plus a few days. If we wait too long and we have a bleed, and they have to cut through the placenta, you could lose a lot of blood. A health younger baby is better off than a sick, anemic, older baby. I spoke to your dad, we are going to leave the due date the same. I definitely want this to be a planned calm delivery. I would have rather you had all of the days possible. But, I do not want either of us to have issues because we waited too long either.
Your daddy and Rose came by for a visit. We had dinner, gave Rose a shower, and visited outside for a bit.
So far we have spent 43 days in the hospital. I'm so excited that we are on the home stretch, just 5 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 5 days!
Love you,
Mommy
