Oh, Deb!!! I haven't been around in ages and stumbled by tonight - what wonderful news!!!! That is thrilling news :) I hope all continues to go well for you and your little man!
Just a quick update for everyone... I AM on bed rest. That's why I haven't been around much. Josh rarely lets me upstairs where the computer is. I can do little things for about 5 minutes around the house (I've gotten abnormally quick at showering), but other then that, I'm laying down. Lots of reading, watching movies and working on craft projects. Things are good as of today. :) I am a little over 22 weeks right now. Hopefully he stays in there for awhile. I'm doing all I can !! I'll try to give updates every now and then. But for now, today, he is doing well and is kicking mommy like crazy. Although, every time Josh comes over to feel my belly, the baby stops. Funny how that works. Josh is convinced his own son doesn't like him :) I think he's just playing a joke on daddy :)I pray every day that the cerclage holds up and does it's job. I actaully don't worry about problems with the baby, it's my cervix I worry about. (
Lots of love to everyone. Hope you're all doing well.
Valerie hid from Jimmy, too. Tell Josh not to worry, she LOVES her Daddy (she's a little spoiled by him I'm afraid). Keep the faith, we'll keep praying for all of you.
I visited Deb and Josh today and she will be 30 weeks on Wed 1/7. Still on bed rest without a computer, but hanging in there! She said to tell everybody 'hi.'
Hi everyone! I talked to Deb today. She's officially 34 weeks tomorrow and hanging in there. She had an appt. yesterday and everything is going really well. They think the baby is just under 5 lbs, and will remove her stitches @ 36 weeks. They'll keep her at the hospital from then on, so he'll likely come soon after. yea! Just another few weeks and their little guy will be here. (easy for me to say - I'm sure that 2 weeks seems so long when you've been on bed rest this long :) All our love and prayers!
Hi all! Deb asked me to post for her and give you the update. She gets her stitches removed tomorrow (Fri) and will be 36 weeks along. She is so excited, anxioius and nervous about it all, and just wants him to arrive healthy. The Dr's anticipate that he may need a few days of help (ie. develping lungs), but feel that all will go well. Little Noah will be here soon. All of our prayers!
Oh, that's so exciting!!! Will be praying that all goes well and that Noah and Deb get to meet soon (but not "too" soon)! Will she be in the hospital from the time she gets her stitches out until he is born?
Hey Kari - They anticipate that she will deliver fairly soon after the stitches are removed, but if things are slow (not dialating at all), she and Josh will get a hotel room close by at some point and they'll monitor her regularly. Based on her past experiences and the fact that she's been having contractions, it sounds like she won't need the hotel room. I haven't heard anything today. Anxiously waiting for their good news. :)
Who'd have guessed....Dr's are scratching their heads, and Deb is at home waiting to dialate beyond a two. :)They removed the stitches and sent her on a walk for an hour and half or more. She stayed at a two for several hours. The Dr. couldn't believe it. The good news is that the baby has had more time to develop, so he sent her home. Her Mom and Dad are here, and she's no longer on bedrest. They've officially made it to 37 weeks and are getting the baby's room all ready. Deb is more than ready now, so pray for a storm! She says Hello to everyone, and will post as soon as he's here. Her next appt. is Thurs.
Seriously ... who would have thought? Although every "extra" day is huge in the development. Besides - it gives Deb some "unrestricted" time to get things ready :) Please tell her I am thinking of her and praying for their little family ... can't wait for the big news!!
I've been thinking of you Deb! I'm so thrilled that your little guy will be here soon. Hoping and praying that everything goes smoothly. And how cool that you aren't on bedrest anymore?!? Yay!
Congratulations Deb! I am so thrilled for you and your cute family. I can't wait to see Noah. So happy he made it here and you are both safe. You're a mommy now to Noah. It's the best feeling in the world.
Great News! Deb delivered little Noah two days ago. He is just perfect; 6 lbs 8 oz. 18 inches long (hope I have that right) All went well and they should be home sometime today. Congratulations Josh and Deb! We couldn't be happier for you. Can't wait to see pics of the little guy!
He is absolutely adorable!!! So happy to hear he finally decided to make his appearance after such a long wait! Can't wait for regular updates and lots of gushing photos!!!
