Baby boy loveland

It finally happened! The event that propelled us into becoming bloggers. Last Thursday I was admitted into the hospital at 25 weeks pregnant. Some complications led my doctor to do and ultrasound at an appointment that revealed that the fluid around the baby was really low. Low enough to think that my water is probably broken. If that isn't the case, then something is going on with the placenta. Either of the cases need monitoring and bed rest. Another ultrasound Friday had the doctors deciding to transport me to the downtown hospital with NICU. This ultrasound we found out that we are having a brother! We have been assuming a girl all these months, so that was fun. We are excited to be even-just call us the Brady Bunch.

After arriving downtown via ambulance, the high risk doctor thought my water was broken from my experiences the past few weeks. Saturday morning I started contracting and baby's heart beat had the doctor rushing to the hospital, doing a fast ultrasound on me, and placing me in labor and delivery. When I got there, Chris and Lee Hamblin, our neighbor and wonderful friend, arrived ready to administer a priesthood blessing. We talked with the doctor and the talk involved a possible emergency c-section that day. But after the blessing, everything calmed down. It was a miracle, and we feel so blessed. Every day we get is such a blessing.

I have remained in labor and delivery for constant monitoring. Baby boy doesn't seem to like mornings very much. But he is looking great from his heart tones and movement and plenty of hiccups. I am 26 weeks today. The doctor just keeps saying a few more days of monitoring to make sure everything is 100%. I have really appreciated the prayers, fasting, service to the family, visits and ideas of things to do while I have time on my hands.
