I was due with out second child, a boy, on November 22 of this year. He, however, decided that November was NOT a cool month to be born in, just like his older sister had. The last day of September, I found myself at the birth center confirming with the midwife that I was indeed contracting, and from there went to the hospital. After receiving steroids to help baby's lungs develop more quickly and magnesium for the brain, which also can slow down contractions. I left the next day only to wind up there again 2 days later to stay after dilating to 4 cm and still having rythmic contractions on and off. I am so thankful to report that we made it to exactly 34 weeks, and our son was born on October 12 at 3:23 in the morning. His birth was followed by a little over two weeks in the NICU, which was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced. My heart goes out to all mommies who go through this, especially those who are there much longer than we were.
There truly is so much I could write about how God prepared us for this and provided for us in it, but it will have to wait for now. Needless to say I have not been doing much sewing or making progress towards starting an Etsy shop. I've realized it's going to be a slow road, and just praying for guidance, but for now, let me give you a peak at what's been holding me up!
