I had 15 ultrasounds total because of monitoring his growth (they thought he was underweight until he was born 8lbs 1oz) & never a peep about pre-birth hydro.

Many of these people may be "virtual friends", but they are friends nonetheless.<br /> <br />Please know that even those of us who have never met you will be praying for you and your baby.<br /><br />We'll also be remembering your family (the other siblings are still around, right? lol).<br /><br />We'll pray for your husband because once your baby is born, his job description will be very different.<br /><br />Know that as a Relief Society President myself, I would want to stay very informed of your progress. I would want updates and I would want a very open and candid dialogue so that when the needs arise (and they will arise), we will know exactly what to do because we've been planning all along. That is what ward families are for. That is what Relief Society is for...we are a family...we have a sisterhood...and we help each other. Please keep your ward family in the loop. <br /><br />Many blessings your way!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782358493545454466.post-14921751269392866492011-12-05T17:29:21.075-05:002011-12-05T17:29:21.075-05:00You are so strong, and a true inspiration with you...You are so strong, and a true inspiration with your faith and honesty.

If he is not, please do not be anxious about his breathing if he is born at 36 weeks. My third baby (otherwise healthy) was born at 35 weeks unexpectedly and I was so anxious about his breathing. Several friends reassured me that their babies at that gestation had no breathing troubles, and I just wanted to pass that reassurance on to you, if it applies to Mason - my little one breathed and cried as a full term newborn right from the start. If Mason is practising his breathing already he is maturing his lungs well! :) I am praying for him, and for you. I hope he will turn round and have no worsening with the hydrocephalus when you go back!Alicehttp://arthursmummy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782358493545454466.post-79220827242375876912011-12-02T20:06:56.181-05:002011-12-02T20:06:56.181-05:00Tristan ~ I would be crying a lot, too.
