My younger sister is pregnant and due at the end of this month. The entire pregnancy has been one bad thing after another so we thought we'd finally made it to the home stretch. However, today the Dr told her that her uterus(sp) has stopped growing and that the baby has as well. He said that they would have to take the baby soon, but that right now the baby was only at 24% of something and needs to be at 50% to be delievered. This is her first full term pregnancy and the only one that she says she's ever going to have. Please keep her and our little Emma in your prayers!!

Thank you guys!! I've been telling my sister and my mom that it's all going to work out in the end and things will be fine. I appreciate all the prayers. I'll keep you posted b/c we may have a little one by next week if the Dr is right. I say we...b/c I've always wanted a little girl and my sister is such a tom boy that I've told I'm going to make this the girliest girl ever!!!! 2.5 and 4 lbs...wow they are doing great things these days.

Just a quick update on our little Emma...the Dr told my sister today that the little one is growing, my sister however is not so next week we will have our new addition. He let her know that unfortunately she has the same weird anatomy I do which does not allow for a normal birth and she will have a c-section. I told her not to worry I had all three of mine that way and look how perfect they turned outSmiler. Anyway, I'll let you guys know as soon as she gets here!!

I pray that everything goes smoothly Smiler Congrats!

BTW, I somehow got a princess and I'm not all that into being girly. lol But Kai loves getting in dresses, having her hair done and sometimes I let her do her makeup, which . . . oddly enough doesn't look that bad.

I'm hoping that all goes well. I wanna see a pic Smiler

I'm sorry I've missed this story, My3boys.

What a scary experience for you and your sister.

I am adding my positive thoughts to the mix that everything will turn out well, and that this will just become an "exciting story" to share at family dinners someday.

And do keep us posted!! Wink

How exciting but apprehensive at the same time! I hope everything works out!!

Amy you are right! I can't stand the tbought of druggie mothers not changing their lifestyles and having healthy newborns that end up neglected when there are people out there willing to do whatever it takes to have their own, only to run into complications. It makes me wonder sometimes.
