update on me and Trace :)

Dr just came in. Said that they won't let me Go over 34 weeks but they are going to keep me here on bedrest as long as possible to try to keep him in longer but if my health starts going down then they will Go ahead n bring him on. Dr says that since Trace is measuring so big that weight won't keep him in here, so they are only worried about his lungs and nutrition. They gave me a steroid shot for his lungs last night and ill get the second tonight so if they can keep him in for another week like we want then ill have a healthy 5 pound baby that i can take home :) of course i know that things can Go wrong but I'm trying to be as optimistic as possible for me and Trace. Hubby is being great, I'm in a hospital an hour away but he's staying in touch as he gets the house ready for little man and he will be down this weekend to stay with me :) my mom and grandma are coming down today too so that's nice. Thank you ladies again for all your support, well wishes, and prayers! I hope all your pregnancys are going well!

We are doing good today :) my bp looked good all night but its going back up now :/ Tada stopped by to see me so that was really cool to finally see one of you ladies in person! I don't think its hit me yet that my baby will be here next week...ahhh! My mom went and bought some preemie clothes since we don't have any. I doubt he will be in them long though since he's already measuring 4-13 :)

You will both be fine! You are just like i was in my first pregnancy, except you're lucky your bub has more weight on him! My daughter was only 4lb, but she was totally healthy too, and there were no problems. I know its boring being stuck in hospital on bed rest, but it will all be worth it in the end. I wish you both a safe and healthy delivery!

Thanks hun, I'm worried but as far as he is concerned, the drs are all comfident that even if he came today that he would be fine after being here for a few days or so. He's still kicking and moving around like normal and they are monutering us both 24/7 so if anything changes they will know
