Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

Station 64

Good morning, afternoon, evening depending on when you are reading this. Unfortunately the contractions I mentioned in my previous post did not subside. They have escalated in frequency and intensity - I'm sure that's easy for me to say.

As such, we have been transferred to Station 64 which is labor and delivery. The pain was getting quite bad for Stacy but she was just given some medication which seems to be helping somewhat. An epidural would be the next step if this doesn't help enough.

At this point, we don't know if this will continue to escalate until delivery in the short term or if it might wane and return to the stable condition we were in before. Obviously we are hoping for the latter.

Fortunately throughout the night and early morning Stacy has had one of the nurses which we both really like. She has been very attentive and supportive.

We have nearly reached 26 weeks which is much more than we had anticipated when this adventure began. We aren't conceding that there will for sure be a delivery, but we are counting those blessings which we have been given.

If anyone was planning on visiting for the remainder of this week please check with me first either via email (stacy.thomas97@hotmail.com) or by posting a comment to the blog.
