More news on baby and I.

I was contacted by the pre-term birth prevention nurse today and found out that I have had a lot of the symptoms of pre-term labor. Apparently contractions aren't the only symptoms. Anyways, it doesn't appear that I will go into full blown labor real soon, but she is concerned about getting me to 37 weeks. So that is our goal. We will still be able to go to Albany for Ben and Brendel's wedding and visit family, but I have to stay off my feet as much as possible and try to keep the driving around to a minimum. (I guess driving can induce labor if your body is already preparing for it.) The symptoms the nurse described are actually some of the symptoms that I had with David (the baby we lost in April). So, for some reason my body doesn't want to be pregnant. It's weird though that everything was fine with Faith minus the diabetes. Oh, that's another thing to pray for. Diabetes puts women at a higher risk of delivering early. I don't have it right now, but I have a 86% chance of getting it with each pregnancy. It would be wonderful if this pregnancy was in the 14% that don't get it. I will keep you updated on anything new that happens. We really appreciate your prayers.

Praying for you, Cherish... Will you be able to make the trip to Wamic? Let me know if there's anything I can do to help while I'm home.

Love you, Sis!
