Camp Crosby...Saints football Sunday

We woke up this Sunday morning with Crosby still in the womb, not in the bed. Saturday was a good day. Tara was pretty tired from the lack of sleep the night before, but was able to get a couple of small naps in so that helped. We talked with Tara's OB, Dr. Wiedower, on Saturday about the game plan for the next few days. She said that our goal is still to make it to Tuesday which would put us at 34 weeks. Once Tuesday gets here she will stop the routine medication to prevent contractions that Tara is taking every 4 hours. If Tara starts to go into labor after Tuesday they will try giving her a shot to stop it, but if they contractions persist we will just roll with it and move down the hall to L&D.

Tara was able to sleep most of Saturday night which was an answer to prayer. We had a few contractions right before bed, which was nothing major. I think it was when her medication had worn off and the new dose hadn't kicked in yet. They soon spaced out and then ceased allowing Tara to sleep Saturday night.

We had a few more contractions before breakfast this morning, nothing too intense though. Again the timing coincided with Tara's medication wearing off and the new dosing just getting into her system. We'll see about possibly making some adjustments to the timing. We are doing well on this Sunday morning, or I should say about as well as one can be expected to be doing when the 3 loss Dallas Cowboys are on the TV in place of the 9-0 New Orleans Saints! 98% of the time I absolutely love living in Arkansas. I am pretty sure that the 2% of the time I don't is Sunday afternoons when I'm stuck scrounging the web for Saints updates while the Cowboys occupy my TV. Things must be going pretty well in this hospital room if the Saints media coverage is what I am complaining about.

Thanks for the prayers and support. We feel very loved. We trust that Crosby will be just fine whenever he comes into this world, we are just going to try to give him every advantage that we can by buying him time.

Here are some pics from Saturday:
