Wow! We have to catch up!
I can’t wait to share memories and pictures with my family for Thanksgiving, Christmas with Daniel’s family, the kids playing outside in the Nor’easter that dumped 23 inches of snow on our city last month, our first family portraits since we got married six years ago . . . and, last but not least, updates on our Little Boo, who–I am thankful to say–is still inside at 31 weeks!
I thought I would “catch up” the week after Christmas. But instead I spent Monday – Thursday on the Mom Unit in the hospital, and now I’m home on bedrest. It feels like “deja vu, all over again,” as they say.
We were hoping Micah’s preterm labor and premature birth was just a fluke, since my pregnancy with Mara was completely normal and full-term. But so far, we are having much the same experience again. With the exception (and a huge exception that may make all the difference for our Little Boo!), that the doctors are treating everything sooner this time because Micah was premature. So maybe by 32 weeks (when I was 3 cm and 70% effaced with Micah), we will still see no cervical change . . .
All that to say: I will be back!
But for now, bedrest.
This crazy procardia lowers my blood pressure so all my energies (including thinking and writing) are really low right now. . . but I will be back.
I actually miss blogging.
Is it weird to miss your blog?
Daniel, no comment. . .
and your blog [readers] have missed you as well!
glad that you are home and that little boo is still inside. 31 weeks! wow! when you started contractions, i wasn’t sure you would make it this far. god is good and he is not surprised by the early contractions or the length of no cervical change!!! 🙂 i am glad you are in his mighty hands.
as for the blog, i will patiently wait! guess it’s preparing me for when you’re managing 3 kids and the posts get fewer and farther between.
praying for you dear!
Amen to everything Kristy said!
