We've just been hanging out, trying to get Tara some rest and buy some more time for Crosby to cook a little more. Tara has not progressed anymore in labor and hasn't had many contractions today. She and Crosby both look healthy. We haven't seen any problems with Crosby's heart rate since that 30 second blip in the OB's office. I firmly believe that was the Lord giving us a red flag and a reason to come to L&D, otherwise Tara would have been on her way home to Arkadelphia.
We would like at least another 24 hours for the steroids to have their full effect on little man's lungs, but we will let him stay in the womb as long as he is willing to. It may be a few days or even weeks, but it doesn't look like Tara will come home until after Crosby is here. Tara's OB, Doctor Amy Weidower, and the nurses in Baptist Med Center LR L&D have been AMAZING. We are thankful for Dr. Weidower being cautious and attentive. We feel like we have some highly skilled and compassionate people taking care of Tara and Crosby.
Your prayers are appreciated. The Lord has been watching out for us and we trust that He is in control. We rest firmly in the fact that He is both good and great. Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted.

The Lord IS good! We are praying around the clock for y'all and the staff that is caring for Tara and Crosby. Yeah for fun times! Lots of love to each of you from the Osmon's!
Tell Tara that I am thinking about her and I am so glad to have found your blog so that I can keep up with Crosby's arrival! Hoping that is later than sooner! :)
HOW EXCITING!!!!
I can't believe he's ready!!! We went through this same thing with Tate. The steroid shots and then he was born 4 weeks early. He was perfectly fine and healthy and we were so glad to have him here with us!!
You guys are in our prayers!!!
I'm praying for you three! If there is anything you need - please call! I am here in town and willing to help in any way.
wow! eager little guy! please keep us updated!
Thank you for the update! You are in my prayers as you work through this time of waiting. I look forward to meeting Crosby!
Let's hope your bun in the oven cooks a little bit longer...will be thinking about you!

Hi there, Tara you look great, honey. Not to worry, God is good and in charge. I call to mind Vincent was a 6 month baby weighing in at 4lbs or so and look at him now. Crosby has a strong will and will be fine. Love to all Aunt Nena
Just wanted you guys to know that I have been thinking and praying for you guys. Tara your motherly intuition has already kicked in! Hopefully Crosby will stay put for a bit, but it sounds like you all are in great hands no matter what. It sounds like you are going to have an eager little boy!!! I am sure he will be into all the outdoorsy stuff chris is - he is going to be a go getter! Or he just knows how cool his parents are and wants to meet them NOW! Keep us updated.

I think we can assume Crosby is a competitive little guy...he doesn't want Sydney to beat him here! Love you guys and keeping you in prayer. Theresa & Vincent
We're praying, guys. We are so excited, but we are also praying that the Lord would allow for little man Crosby to stay in Mommy's tummy as long as He will allow for that. On the other hand, I would have been DELIGHTED to have Rhys early!! :) We're praying according to the Lord's will and for His constant comfort, hope and safe-keeping over all three of you.
We love you.
Russell, Shireen & Rhys
P.S. Tara, eat up the hospital care!! ;) I enjoyed it! AND the food was yummy!! I had some great cheesey quesadillas. :)
Keep the updates coming! So glad y'all are getting great care. Y'all such good parents already! PLEASE PLEASE let us know what we can do to help! I'll be brainstorming.
yeah for making it to 34 weeks! we are praying for you guys and little crosby. Tara is in good hands. Dr. Wiedower is an amazing person and doctor. we love her to death!!!
