30 weeks...we made it!

hello friends! this post is going to be a little short because i currently have an IV in my right hand. I don't like it and it makes it difficult to type. so to reduce my amount of complaining, its best i use this hand as little as possible. :)


anyway, yesterday i was officially 30 weeks! woo hoo! we made it! when we first arrived here at our new home (a.k.a.- memorial hospital of carbondale) the goal was to make it another week! now the goal is to make it to 31 weeks! the longer Gabe can stay inside me...the better! we're told that for everyday he stays in shaves 2 days off of his hospital stay once he's born. 


so, latest news... saturday we had a scare. i had to be put on oxygen because our baby wasn't cooperating and doing what he was supposed to do. so, in order to help him they put me on oxygen. thank goodness that eventually worked. this was also the night they decided to put another IV in just in case. my worst nightmare. i absolutely HATE Iv's. anyway, my protein levels have gone up to 7000. so now, like before, we're just taking it day by day....hoping to get at least another week.


how's baby boy doing? he's just fine. he's been passing all of his tests and moving like crazy. i don't think he likes being monitored because he doesn't always cooperate when we're hooked up! can't say i blame him...i'm not a fan of it either! He's getting much better at practicing his breathing. seems like every day when we get our ultrasound he always has his hand or foot in front of his face. the other day he had his toes in his mouth! we've been lucky enough to get a lot of pictures of him while we're here. we do ultrasounds everyday so along with that we get lots of pictures! we have tons of 4D pics as well! :)


alright, that's it for now. my hand hurts! :(
