Contractions

I wanted to update you on Melanie's pregnancy.

Saturday afternoon she started having regular contractions. They got as frequent as every 5 minutes. She followed the advice of a nurse on call and was able to get them to subside greatly. Last night (after work) they picked up again, but she was able to get more comforting advice from a nurse practitioner.

She went to see her doctor today. He has placed her on bed rest for the rest of the week. He also gave her some medicine to stop the contractions and some antibiotics. He also did another sonogram and said that the baby is definitely a boy!

Thank you for any prayers that you have or will offer up on her behalf. God bless!

Greg, we will absolutely keep you, Melanie and the baby in our prayers. We can't wait to meet the little guy.

You guys are definitely in our prayers... all 6 of you :) We'll be praying that little Bailey boy stays put for quite awhile longer so that he can do all that good growing and developing that God has planned for him! Tell Melanie to take it easy, sure wish we could be there to help in any way that we could, but we'll be praying fervently from across the miles! God bless!
