Tuesday is the day

When I went in on Thursday to get checked, the doctor really did not like what he saw.  There was almost nothing to measure on my uterine window...kind of scary.  I am actually surprised he didn't send me to the hospital to be monitored.  I think he took pity on us because of the four kids at home!  Tuesday I will hit 32 weeks so Tuesday evening we will be delivering Austin.  I am praying that his lungs are developed and that he has no health problems.  I am praying that we are only in the NICU waiting for him to learn how to eat.  I am really praying we only have 3 weeks in the NICU, not a month or two.  I am really praying for this kid!  I already love him so much and so does the rest of the family and we do not want to be apart from him for very long.  Having a baby in the NICU is extremely emotional and hard...especially when you have other children at home needing attention too.  I wish I could spend all day everyday at the hospital taking care of Austin but also know his brothers and sisters need me too so I will have to deal with only having a few hours a day with him.
