Keep on Keepin' on

I got a text from my friend Ali today and that's what she said at the end "keep on keepin on." That pretty much sums it up. Just taking each day at a time.

My next ultrasound is on Thursday so we won't know fluid levels until then. When the Dr came in this morning she said if it's not leaking much it means it's rebuilding, which makes us all happy. She said with fluid levels in the 4 and 5 range it's enough fluid for Caleb. That's always reassuring. 

Zeb talked to a coworker who's wife is at Baylor and she said they take transfers at 23 weeks. She has been there for 7 weeks and has had a really good experience thus far. Baylor has a great staff of specialists and an excellent NICU. It's also about 5 minutes from Zeb's office which would be great. I would get to see him way more often if I transferred there. My Doc is going to look into it and see if they would accept me. 

Trying to stay as still as I can makes for difficult positions and a very sore neck/headaches but that's the least of my worries.  I have pretty much stopped leaking and can move a bit more. :)

Yesterday was very emotional for me as I heard the sweet sound of a newborn baby cry next door.  It unleashed a lot of emotions. I know we are in the Lord's hands and I am not alone. None of us are ever alone. We can get through anything with the Savior. As we trust in him and remain faithful He will always be there. 

Her are some pictures of the kiddos. Love to you all and thank you for everything.
P.S. Zeb is rocking the girls' ponytails these days! I'm super impressed with his skills.

  2. PS - Baylor's hospital system rocks! Brianna was born at Baylor Downtown in 1999, Zander at Baylor Irving in 2003, and Aurora Hope was born at Baylor Grapevine in 2009. They have a great NICU there and they just merged with Scott and White in Temple, Texas which also has a high reputation for high quality,high risk care.

  4. Ali is smart. And I think Zeb is better at doing little girl hair than I am.

  5. Love Julia's attempt to throw up what could only be a peace sign. Lol. Love the fun pics of the girls. Hang in there. You are amazing, strong and capable. You've got this, Leah. I'm thrilled at the prospect of Baylor and the company that could bring you when you're transferred. Lunch breaks with Zeb would be perfect. I love you to pieces. Give the girls loves from Aunt Stephanie. Don't let Ang try and steal my spot as their favorite Aunt. :) I better get a package together to arrive while she is there. Haha.
