Following a routine sonogram this past Wednesday doctors were concerned that she may deliver early and admitted her to the hospital for monitoring. Fortunately the baby, at 30 weeks and 2 days, is looking great and the doctors feel optimistic that the baby will stay put for some weeks to come.
At the moment we're typing away on our laptops, waiting on lunch, and eagerly waiting to hear if she will be discharged today. Our room is a labor and delivery room with a nice view of a tree just outside the window. In this ward on each of the past two nights we both startled awake to the sounds of a women in labor, quite an amazing and, understandably for Jennafer, scary experience.
Family and friends have been very supportive this past week and we come away from the experience with a lot more knowledge and a high level of comfort for the care CPMC provides to expectant mothers. Although the hospital staff have been extremely kind and weeks of bedrest lay ahead for her, Jennafer (and I) can't wait to go home!
One more note - that initial sonogram that led to these events also gave us a few wonderful new pictures of our baby... enjoy!
