When is my baby sister going to be here, Daddy?
We were able to move up the c-section date so that there is less chance of going into labor before it is scheduled. We really don't want to take any risks with prolapsed cord or an unstable lie. So, Monday, August 3, I will be going for an amnio to check lung maturity. Provided that goes well, the baby will be delivered via c-section on August 6. Eight days!
There are no updates as to the health of the baby. No one even wants to venture a guess. It is crazy to think after all this unknown and waiting we will know one way or another on August 6. We are trying to prepare for either scenario, but it is really difficult to do. Your heart dreams of snuggling a healthy baby girl, while your head tells you about all the odds and bad signs and worst-case scenarios. But we plunge forward on this path that God has placed us; we are guided by a deep desire to glorify God and learn what he would have us learn.
Thanks for thinking of us and lifting us up to our Heavenly Father.
We feel pleased and honored to hold you in our thoughts and prayers.

ReplyDeleteEmily, I was checking in to see how you were doing, knowing that you're having the amnio today. I'm thinking of you this week and especially on Thursday when your very loved little girl will be in your arms. Your strength is inspiring to me. My girls and I are praying for you today.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed this post! I am sorry that the amnio had that results. I just heard your little one is in NICU! PRAYING very hard that she will grow healthy and strong right now! And Ellie just gets more beautiful every day! Sending hugs and many, many prayers!
