Sorry for no update in a couple of days. They decided not to do the blood transfusion afterall. My levels came back up on their own. The bleeding stopped this morning, for the first time since it started a week ago. My contractions increased yest and then went back to being sporadic. The Dr came in this morning and told us that we are here until she comes!!! He said that it would take one of three paths: I keep bleeding small amounts till it slowly increases to a level that they are not comfortable with anymore and they take us back for a c-section. Or I start hemorrhaging and they take me back stat. Or I don't bleed again and they take her by C-section at 35 weeks. It's really crazy to think that our little girl will be here in 3 weeks or less. I can't wait to meet her. The Dr said that I was going to go crazy staying here and I told him that every minute I'm here will be worth it when I see her face and hold her for the first time.
So that's it for now .We just wait and see.

I am glad that you are doing better! Wow, 3 weeks or less until your LO is here...I cant wait to 'meet' her! Take care of yourself, girl!

I'm glad they have a plan and you know what to expect. Hopefully she stays put until 35 weeks. Those steroid shots should be doing their job. Hopefully she won't need any NICU time.

I'm glad that things are improving! I pray that everything continues to go well for you and for Kennedi! I can't believe that you will be meeting your little girl within the next 3 weeks!

Wow, I hope it is the latter of the three. Try and get some rest while you are up there.

Try not to drive yourself too crazy. I hope that she can hang on for another 3 weeks. We can't wait to see her, but we can wait for 3 more weeks!

I hope she stays put until 35 weeks! I know that being in the hospital sucks, but I know you have some peace of mind to be there until Kennedi gets here. Can't wait to meet your little girl.

How exciting that it's almost time to meet your little girl! It's good that yall have a plan in place for every scenerio, that way you're prepared! I hope she sticks around for 3 more weeks but I know she will be healthy as can be with the great care you're getting!
