She is due on August 2nd with her first child, a boy. She has been having issues with high blood pressure since around week 20, and recently she has been having awful swelling in her feet.

Today I got a message from her saying that she has been admitted to the hospital with preterm labor. I just spoke with her and she said that it looks like the doctors are getting her contractions under control. They are going to keep her overnight and see how things look tomorrow.

Baby Calvin is not done baking and needs to stay put! Maybe some dust from PS will help. :)

I talked to her online a good bit last night. They were able to stop her contractions, but she is now on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy. They also gave her steroid shots to help develop the baby''s lungs.

She thinks they may let her go home today or tomorrow.

Contractions started back up again today so she is still in the hospital. I'm going to visit her tomorrow, and drop off a couple of DVD's for her to borrow while she is in the hospital and on bed rest. She sounds like she is in pretty good spirits considering the circumstances.

Lots of dust to your friend! I am sorry that she has to stay in the hospital, but it''s probably better to be monitered there then be left at home.


I hope the contractions stay away and she can keep cooking her LO!

Good news! My friend was able to go home today, but she is on bed rest. Now we are just hoping Calvin decides to stay put for another month or so.

Also, her hubby is giving his PhD defense in two weeks.

She went back to the hospital on Friday for painful contractions that were about 6 minutes apart, and spent 8 hours in the hospital before they were finally able to stop them. She is now home again, and doing ok.

Her doctors are now shooting for 34 weeks, and will be thrilled if she makes it farther than that. She will be 33 weeks tomorrow. Baby is measuring right around 4lbs so he is a good size.
