Well it looks like what we have been expecting has happened a bit sooner than we had hoped. I was "admitted to the hospital for pregnancy complications with an anticipated prolonged stay and premature delivery of infant." So my doctor puts it. I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and the hospital staff are going to do all in their power to keep this little guy inside me for as long as possible.

I realize it's not ideal to spend weeks or possibly months in the hospital but if it means having a healthier baby and not having him in the NICU for months I would stay in the hospital for a year if I had to. I don't want to see another one of my children have to go through that again, and the odds that everything will go as smoothly as they did with Evelyn are pretty slim.

I feel so grateful for all of the support that my Family and friends have given me and all of the sacrifices that so many people have made to help me. It's very dificult for me to feel as helpless and so dependant on others. I appreciate all of the prayers and love that I have recieved during this time in my life. Thanks to everyone.

I was put on bed rest last Tuesday and have been going crazy trying to find something to do. My Sister-in-Law Kilee Taylor keeps a blog and I thought that this might help me to stay sane, so I hope you don't mind Ki, but I kind of used your blog as a template for mine.
