In The Hospital

Many of you probably got the news, but my water broke last night around 5:30. I have been hospitalized and put on bedrest while they try to keep me pregnant until Friday. Marisa beat me to the chase and posted a pretty thorough description of what's going on, so I'll send you to her blog here so you can read about it.

We have gotten a flood of emails and phone calls with all of your concerns and well-wishes, and for that we are truly grateful. Our church is pulling together a dinner-delivery list and even a sign-up for babysitting if needed. What a blessing.

I am in fairly good spirits and am anxiously awaiting the birth of this little girl who apparently wants to be a little early on the scene. We pray for her health and our emotional stability as we approach the challenge. Thank you for being such an important part of that.

oh gina how scary! one of our friends had their little boy at 33.5 weeks and he did great. I also heard that girls are stronger than boys lung wise when I did a rotation in the NICU. I am sure she will do great. I sent you a little package after your last post, it should come to your house this week. You guys are in our prayers.

We are praying for you and that little one! Isaac was born at 34 weeks and had no problems, so I believe you'll have a healthy little girl.

Gina, hope all is well with you.... So, I've read you had Eva, I'm not sure if she is home yet though. I'll fill you in a little with my experience. I had a torn Placenta at 30 weeks with Donnie, stayed in the Hospital for a month, and delivered at 35 weeks. Donnie wasn't able to eat on his own and went to the NICU for 10 days. I've never cried more, it was the worst 10 days of my life, I hated leaving him at the Hospital every night....so, I know how hard these scary situations can be. I hope things are going well for you guys and Eva is healthy & at home. Keep us updated!

Congratulations! It sounds like Eva didn't exactly come on your preferred schedule, but I know God will work out all the details. I can't wait to see pictures, and I will for sure be praying for all you! (((((((((((hugs)))))))))
