Thanks for praying, and I'd appreciate continued prayer. I was finally released from the hospital yesterday after 5 days, after another checkup showed I was worsening even after bedrest. I had to have an emergency cerclage to try to hold the baby in for as long as possible. We shall see if this works, at least for a few more weeks to get to the point where the doctors say there's a possibility of survival. I'd love to go as far as possible though, naturally.
So I'm back on strict bedrest at home, which is certainly better than bedrest at the hospital.

Will definitely be praying for you, Laura!

Thanks for the update, Laura. I'll keep praying! I'm glad that you got to go home at least!

*Squeaks*
Wow, I just saw this.
Praying for you Laura! Get some good audiobooks or books on tape/CD; that will help when you have to be still all the time

[Laura Ingalls]

*sigh* Well, back in the hospital until this baby is born....within days or weeks according to the doc. The stitch they put in is not holding. He will most probably be a micropreemie with a lot of issues, but chances of survival go up every day he stays in there. Thanks for praying!

[Catspaw]

Aww, that must be tough. Definitely still praying!

[snubs]

I certainly have you in my thoughts and prayers, Laura. Prayers to your husband and baby too.

Our sweet little boy was born last night at 7:35! He is teensy tiny, only weighing 1 lb 6.5 oz. He's in one of the best NICUs in the country, and so far is doing well - there is a very long road ahead though.
I am so grateful for everyone's prayers...this has been an incredibly difficult 4 weeks. We were blessed by God to have made it past 24 weeks, which gives our boy a fighting chance.
Please continue to pray, as his tiny body has so much growing and developing still to do. The doctors expect him to be here at least through his due date in August.

Awwww. =D Congratulations! I'll be praying.

[Lizzy88]

Congratulations!! Wow, how tiny! Praying!

Picture?

[Laurie]

Congratulations Laura!! I will be praying for your sweet boy. Please keep us updated when you can.

[Catspaw]

Wow, congratulations, Laura! Thanks for the update. I will definitely keep praying. I'm so glad that you're near experts and that God answered prayers to get him to that point. Like Lizzy, I would love to see a picture if that's something you're willing to do at some point.

[Lizzy88]

Oh, and what is his name???

Praying for you and your little fellow! update us when you can, but I know you'll be busy spending time with him as much as you can:)

We are at a different hospital now, he was transferred on Monday so surgeons here could work on repairing a hole in his intestine. He's doing okay since then, struggling a little with his blood sugars. He's breathing well, which is a huge answer to prayer. His lungs have been great!
I've gotten to change his diaper twice so far...they're preemie size, and still swallow him.

His name is Andrew...and I think he's the cutest baby ever, even covered in wires. But I'm biased.

And we have reached equivalence. Oh, I'll be praying.

Sounds like the little guy is a real fighter and fighting the good fight. I'm for him.

[Catspaw]

Aww, Laura, he's precious! I'm so glad to hear that his lungs are working well. I will continue to pray!

[The Kings Daughter]

Awww. He's beautiful! ^.^

[Laurie]

He is very handsome!! Laura you have every right to be biased, your his mama after all!!

[Connie G.]

He is beautiful Still prayin for y'all.

Does it seem odd to anyone but me that people continued to vote on whether it would be a boy or a girl even after the announcement that the baby had been born and was in fact a boy?
