I haven't posted here in quite a while but I wanted to write down what is happening with our 5th little one.
He is due on 3/16 and on 1/25 my water broke while we were at a 5k for Carson (running of the seahorses for Seabreeze Elementary). I called the doctor and, on the on-call nurse's advice, I went home to rest and call her back if there were any more leaks, contractions, etc.
I took a nap and about 2:15pm I got up and had more leaking. I called the nurse and was told to go ahead to the hospital.
I'm here now at the hospital. Both baby and I are fine... There was an ultrasound yesterday and amniotic fluid looks good and baby's weight is estimated at 4lbs 9oz.
I'm on antibiotics for 24 hours and I've gotten the first of two steroid shots for lung maturity. I'm 33 weeks today and they're going to try to keep me here for another week. Then they'll deliver.
So many people are praying for us. Your siblings can't wait to meet you. We love you so much! Hang out for another week, little man, and be strong.
Update: so Dr Boyd just came in and said they might let you go till 35 weeks. Hang tight little guy!
