MedStar~

After what has been another easy pregnancy, blessed with the surprising news that we were would be the proud mommy, daddy & big sister to a sweet little boy, things have quickly changed. Saturday morning I woke with some dampness, being on the cautious side we called our amazing friends Nick and Jill to come stay with Saige while we went in to get checked. Being only 23 weeks, we knew that if this was amniotic fluid that would not be good. Things weren't great but still seemed pretty optimistic, Dr Santarpio (the most amazing doctor) thought it would be best to get mommy and B2 to Spokane. MedStar was sent to pick us up, how could this be happening? MEDSTAR????? We are now in the waiting game, the staff at Sacred Heart is so far amazing, and we will wait and hope for the very best for the next 48 hours. We just need our sweet little ACTIVE boy in mommy for as long as possible, and this is the place to make it happen.

This is the most I can write at the moment, more to come... lots of love!!

So the rest of our Saturday turned into information overload, the best news I got my IV and pee pee bag out, YAHOOO!! But on the serious side, we had to make lots of life changing decisions for both our little sweet boy and mommy. We are both at peace with what we have decided and are just praying I don't go into labor so that our little guy has a chance. After talking with the Newborn Specialist, Neo-Natal Specialist and our OB for today Dr Jacobs... we know at this time the best case scenario for me and B2 is sit and wait, day by day, but in terms of our little one we need to make it at least another week for him to have a chance of survival. BUT the good news, i had another ultra sound (yup, still a boy ;-)) and my amniotic fluid is increasing, when I left Sandpoint it was at a 6, first arrived in Spokane 7.3 and by last night it was 11.2 although i have still been leaking a little it just shows how strong (how could he not be, being half Hulbert & half Roberts) our sweet little boy. This gave me so much encouragement that I actually slept a few hours!! The newborn specialist was happy and very optimistic with the 6 & 7 levels, can't wait to see what he says about the 11.

At this point I am not going any where soon, as long as my fluid stays at a level where B2 can continue to grow without any issues I will be sitting in this bed for as long as he lets it be possible. yea i know, who can actually imagine me on bed rest. BUT I will get used to it and make the most of it and pray work can figure something out for me to do from darn hospital bed, my booty is already sore. I have asked Andy and my mom to bring me hand weights so I can do arm workouts and my sewing machine, might was well be some what productive.

Well i gotta go and get ready for a hot date with my hubby...SEAHAWKS in a hospital bed!!
