This is mostly for my own journaling purposes.
Hope is still having contractions. They did what is called an FFN test on her and it came back positive, which means this baby is most likely going to come early. Hope is only 33 weeks along. She has been in and out of the hospital with contractions. They thought maybe it was a kidney infection. . .negative. She was severely dehydrated and they thought maybe that was causing the contractions but after 2 bags of fluids, she was still contracting. They have given her steroids to aide in the development of Kais lungs. The Dr did say that if Kai is born right now, she has a 90% chance of survival. Poor Hope. Shes been stabbed, pricked, poked and swabbed more times in the past week than you should be in a lifetime. She is on bedrest but she is a little like her mom and thats virtually impossible to do when there are things to be done around the house and you have an 18 month old running around. She has an amazing boyfriend who is a great help and support to her. She has to go to the hospital everytime she starts contracting to get evaluated and monitered. Thankfully these contractions arent making her dilate yet. She did have a beautiful blessing from her daddy and I know she has positive thoughts and prayers coming from many people.

I was talking to Grandpa Marchant today and he said when you have a big family like he and Grandma have, there are always, always going to be family members with problems. That's just the way it is. I hope she does OK.
I will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. Brenn was born at 34 weeks....the shots for the lungs do wonders, all the poking and sticking and prodding will be worth it when she gets here. Much love to you all!
