Well, this blog is going to be the email updates I am sending around about my wife who is currently 31 weeks pregnant and is in the hospital due to early contractions. I will keep this updated as the emails go out.

We figured with all the baby noise being made this week at Calvary, we
thought we would add to the fun!

Yesterday morning Julie was having some tightness in her belly which
we thought may have been contractions. She went to the doc to get
checked up and everything was fine so they told her to go home, drink
plenty of fluids and get some rest.

Last night about 1030, the contractions came back stronger and this
time, were very painful for Julie and they were as close as 2 minutes
apart. She tried to go to sleep but to no avail, so at 4 this morning,
we made our way back to the hospital and this time, the doctor decided
it would be a good idea to admit her.

The doctor said she needed to stay on bed rest and to try and get the
contractions more spread out. He also said that if the contractions
don't slow down, the baby could be born as early as today but as far
in the future as 6 weeks. After a serious of IV's, shots, and my
personal fav...steroids, they are now pretty spread apart at about one
every 20 minutes, and Julie is not in really any pain at all. Julie is
at 31 weeks tomorrow so the longer the little one stays in the womb,
the better.

We will be at Glendale Adventist until the doc says otherwise. We
would appreciate your prayers greatly. Julie is doing very well right
now and the baby is doing fantastic as well. We know that we serve a
great and gracious God who does exactly what He pleases on His own
timing. :) We are planning our ways, and the Lord is directing our
steps. Visitors are welcome, but it would probably be a good idea to
call first. You can call me on my cel phone or on Julie's
phone.

We are looking forward to adding to the group! I'll keep y'all updated
as much as I can. God bless.
