12 Hours
I’ve felt better today than the past few days. C section will likely happen tomorrow earlier in the morning thanks to the fantastic labor & delivery staff. We spoke to NICU in the hopes that we can transfer little man to Chambersburg when he is stable and I am discharged. They are hoping for that…

Planning for Delivery
Tentatively planned a c section for Wednesday afternoon. Little man looks good except that he is sitting in breach. My bp is controlled but wants to creep up. For now we have it down. Waiting game now until delivery, and expecting a stay here for a few days extra afterward. My sleep is a mess…

Stay or Go
Blood pressure has looked relatively boring thankfully. Doctors now think we might be able to keep the kid in until 37 weeks (33.3 today) but aren’t sure yet if that means I stay here, Chambersburg hospital, or home with what would now be 4+ visits weekly to the doctors for observations. We hope to keep…

No Stress Test is Very Stressful
My blood pressure was crazy high this morning during our no-stress test (that was suddenly very stressful). I was transferred to Wellspan York maternal fetal medicine for observation. I am not in labor at all. It is unclear if I’ll be discharged before delivery. The soonest they’d want to see a baby is 34 weeks,…

Creeping BP
Watching my blood pressure slowly creeping up since having the magnesium IV removed. We need bp to hold at a lower number than where we are if we hope to keep little man inside beyond Wednesday. Tomorrow will be a decision day.

Yet, there still lingers the concern and occasional fear that this baby will miscarry, just like each of our other babies. It’s tough stuff… continuing to try despite so many losses.…

How to Help, Comparisons, and Miscarriages
Yesterday I spent the day welcoming a new baby into life. His older sister was born just 5 days before our first baby, Ezekiel, would have been born. This little fella was born just a few months before our third, Charis Ruth, would’ve arrive. And in-between that, we lost Johoahaz (Joe). Three losses in 2…

A Sigh of Relief
Sharing the big news about Baby Robertson’s anticipated arrival was a huge leap of faith. Having endured 2 miscarriages where the babies stopped growing at 6.5 weeks, announcing a healthy dot at 7w1d was no small thing. In my head, thoughts lingered that both babies actually grew beyond 6.5w and began to shrink. What if…

Baby Robertson
1 + 1 = 3 We are thrilled to announce a 7 week old baby. Yes, this is a very early announcement. But it is significant because we have passed our two previous losses and believe we are now out of the troublesome time. Here’s a recap on our baby journey. July 27 2013…
