Timothy James

I was admitted to the hospital on Dec. 8th because my amniotic sac was leaking and I had begun to dilate. I was ordered to lie flat on my back until the baby came ( I was due April 2nd!). Well, on Dec. 17th my water broke at 7:15pm and Timothy James decided to come early. He was breech and already on his way out, so the doctor did an emergency C-section and at 10:20 pm he was delivered. He went straight to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and has been there ever since. Timothy was only 25 weeks along in his development (a "normal" pregnancy lasts 40 weeks) so he still has a lot of growing to do.

Welcome to 2005! We are excited about what this year holds for our family.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) we will be taking Timothy in for some blood tests. Please pray that this time would go smoothly and that the phlebotomist (person who draws blood) would be skilled and able to find a vein, and get all the blood necessary on the first try. Please pray for Timothy's comfort during the procedure and for mommy's heart (this is my least favorite doctor's visit to make!).

We appreciate your prayers and support. Please see the entry under Tuesday, Dec. 28th for the info regarding our new picture site! Please feel free to comment on the pictures in the guest books at the site as well.
