The Latest...

Okay, let's see if I can make this story make sense.
Back before Stacie moved, she had several ultrasounds done. At first the doctor thought she may have placenta previa ( placenta covering the cervix). Upon later examination,he determined, no all was well.
Fast forward approximately 4 months. An O.B. that Stacie saw, felt that there was still a question about the position of the placenta and sent Stacie into for another ultrasound last Friday. Placenta was ok.
Tuesday, the doctor called to tell her that her amniotic fluid was really low. Normal is 11-13 cm. and she had 6 c.m. The soonest the specialist could see her was today.
Thursday she was having a lot of contractions. The baby was barely moving at all. She called the doctor who reassured her that all was probably well.
This morning at 10:30 the ultrasound was performed. There was a tiny amount of fluid around the umbilical cord. Julianna was almost out of time.
In a whirlwind of activity and paperwork. Julianna was born about 2:00 EST. Mommy is doing well. Julianna can breathe on her own. But she needs to under an oxygen tent so she doesn't have to work so hard.
Stacie is looking forward to being able to get into a wheel chair and go see her precious daughter.
Thank You God for intervening!
Please continue to pray for them. Josh spiked a fever of 104 so Eric had to take him to the doctor. Colleen ( Stacie's mom) is flying back to Michigan.
Julianna will be released when she can breathe, suck, and is gaining weight.
Happy Sabbath!
