Week 30

At the appointment on Thursday, Austin is still looking good.  There is no sign of him being under stress which is a good thing!  The placenta is not anywhere near where my window is which is also a good thing!  The not so good thing is that my window was looking a little thinner than it did during week 29.  When we go in this Thursday, we will be deciding between two things: keep going forward like we are with me at home and twice a week monitoring or, I get admitted to the hospital for 24 hour monitoring until I hit 32 weeks and then we deliver.  I will be 32 weeks on Oct 8.  Our hope and prayer is that we can keep doing what we are doing and make it to 34 weeks which is Oct 22 because 34 weeks is a huge milestone for Austin.  Our doctor does not want to deliver before 32 weeks because it makes a big difference for Austin and any extra day we get after that is a big blessing.  I will not go a day over 34 weeks so we do know when the end will for sure be here.  My hope is that we can make it to 34 weeks with no NICU stay but ultimately I just want Austin and I to be safe and healthy.

Austin is Anxious

After my appointment yesterday it would appear that baby Austin is anxious to join our family.  I am 29 weeks and am hoping I can hang on 3-5 more weeks.  My window is opening up again like it did with Ben...just a lot earlier than it did with Ben.  I will now do twice a week monitoring to make sure Austin is still doing okay and once a week measurements through ultrasound to see how my body is holding together.  Every week we keep him in is a huge miracle for both him and me.  We just want a healthy baby and are extremely thankful I have the best doctor in Vegas to help get us to that point!  I will post more updates as we get them,
