Here we go again

At 30 weeks and 3 days (two weeks longer than Logan), I'm laying here hooked to Magnesium and hoping that my contractions stop.  Today I went to work and felt some cramping.  Sure enough, just as the doctors had warned, I began bleeding.  Trying to remain as calm as possible with 5 and 6 years running around the room, I called the ambulance from my closet.  With the help from Ms. Wanda and Mr. Amos I was swept away to Overland Park Regional.  Kasey met me at the hospital and the process began of admitting me and a million questions later I was whisked into a room.  I've had two IV's, 4 blood tests, and many other uncomfortable things I won't repeat done.  The NICU doctor has been in to check on us and she went over the initial talk of how important it is for baby E to stay put for now.  She assured us that the goal was to not deliver anytime soon and wouldn't unless there is a threat to my or Baby E's health.  Thank you for all the prayers and kind words...hopefully I'll be sitting in bed bored for the next six weeks but I'll keep everyone posted.

  1. Still praying that lil man stays and cooks in his mama for as long as possible!! You did a great job hiding it from the kiddos! When i asked G and Merritt if you were at school today they said "well, she was before our special... then she was gone when we came back" So they had no clue:) Take care of that little boy and yourself mama!! Let us know if there is anything we can do!

  2. My heart sank when I saw your post title but I'm praising God you were quickly transported to where you need to be! Praying for you! Let me know if there's something I can help with. An errand, a place for Logan for an afternoon, whatever!
