This baby girl in my belly is already giving us a run for our money and our family could really use extra prayers right now. This morning I woke up in a puddle of blood, and headed to the hospital right away. I was hoping it would be no big deal and the bleeding would stop but it continued through out the day and it appears I have a marginal abruption (where the placenta separates from the uterine lining and can cause issues for both me and baby). Because of all of this, I was shipped to Swedish hospital in Seattle where they will be able to take care of our sweet baby if she needs to be born early. At 29 wks and a few days she has a good chance of doing well if she's born early, but will still be in the nicu for several weeks. As of right now the plan is to hopefully keep me pregnant for at the very least the next 48 hours to allow enough time for the steroids to help babies lungs mature kick in all the way. Baby has looked fabulous all day, and seems happy as a clam to be staying in-utero a bit longer. We won't have a better plan until the morning but please keep me, baby girl, Nick and Makenna in your prayers. I'll update as I know more.
