BABY JAMIE

I'm posting this for all those who don't follow my Facebook account, so sorry for the repeat information for those of you who know what's going on. On May 29th, or so, I went into preterm labor. I was only 27ish weeks along so this was not a good thing at all. They gave me meds to stop the labor, shots to boost Jamie's lung development, and a prescription of bed rest to keep her cooking a little longer. I ended up in the hospital 2 more times in labor but they were able to stop it. After almost 2 months of bed rest I am now 36 weeks and things seem to be good, so good that now I have an induction date of Aug 7th if she doesn't come before then. The little stinker is gonna stay put now.

As you can imagine this has been a very scary time for our family. I'm learning a lot about myself and the charity of others! So many people have helped us and I can't thank them enough. It's been extremely humbling and I couldn't be more grateful.

We look forward to having a new addition to our family and hope this ends a whole lot better than we anticipated. We appreciate all the prayers that have been offered in our behalf. Heavenly Father heard and answered them!

Oh, and if you hadn't heard, it's a girl and we're naming her Jamie Mikell.
