Dear Baby Ethan,
They had to weigh me again today. They do that every Monday here. I am up to 163 :(. I have gained 36 pounds so far. I still think that is not too bad given that I have not been able to work out as I was last time.
Your growth scan showed that you are in the 58th percentile. You weigh 5 pounds 8 ounces (2500 grams). During the sonogram you were doing well practicing breathing movements. You have lots of hair. Your head is up and you are facing back. The fluid is 13.6, no change.
Fluid last time on August 3, was 13.8, weight last time was 1800 grams (just over 4 pounds), 40%.
They also took my blood yesterday, and my platelets are finally getting better. They are up to 130 from 11.
Your daddy came by for some dinner. He forgot his cell phone, so he had to make an extra trip back. I felt bad! He has a presentation tomorrow.
Rose is in Lincoln with our family there. It looks like she is having a good time. I miss her though, I'm excited to see her tonight!
So far we have spent 40 days in the hospital. I'm so excited that we are on the home stretch, just 8 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 34 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 8 days!
Love you,
Mommy
