So this morning, Dr. Perales came in and we talked about how we would approach this. She essentially said she would rather deliver the baby a little early but without as many drugs, than wait two weeks and risk infection and Angie/Baby both being on drugs the whole time. She said she wanted to take Angie off of the magnesium in the evening, so go ahead and call Angie’s mom and tell her to start on the way.

So Angie’s mom checked on changing her flight but it ended up being better for her to drive.

Angie felt pretty icky the entire day. We had a lot of visitors. Angie’s Dad and Kat came by. Matt stopped by and stayed for a while, and played cards with Kylie and me. Lauren and her friend Jennifer stopped by. Cindy stopped by.

Chuck and Kat stayed with Angie during lunch time while I ran home to take care of some things, let the dogs out, and get a shower. I made it back up to the hospital around 3PM. Angie had ate some lunch which consisted of jello, this flavored ice treat, and beef broth which she said wasn’t that bad.

Lot’s of people called to check on Angie which was nice. I think we sometimes forget how many people there are out there who care about us. Between our family, church family, friends, and coworkers, we’ve had a lot of people thinking, asking and praying about us, and we truly do appreciate it all. It’s been surprisingly calm since those first few hours when we confirmed her water had broke and Angie wouldnt’ go home without having a baby. I had to modify the way I say that because I was originally saying we wouldn’t go home without a baby. That’s not necessarily true. We may go home with the baby in the NICU. It’s not ideal, but we have to keep reminding ourself it’s in God’s hands and beyond “healthy momma, healthy baby” everything else is minor. It’s all going to work out, and I know that in the end, every bit of work that Angie has put in will be much more than worth it. It won’t be long before Mallory Grace or Jayden Christopher is here. :)
