Just over two weeks ago, I went into pre-term labor (at 27.5 weeks). I was ambulanced (is that a word?) to Columbia Regional Hospital (about and hour and a half away but equipped with a perinatologist and NICU) where they drugged me to stop my contractions and hopefully stop my dilation. Eventually it worked. The first night my dear friend, Tamra, drove all the down to stay with me in the hospital. The next day, since I was stable, I was moved to the antepartum unit; I'll be here until I am at least 34 weeks. Timing was awful with Rob going right into finals, but people have been so kind: watching Robbie, bringing meals, movies, books...sending cards, making calls and visits--thank you so much for all of your love and support. I am amazed, really, that it has not been harder for me--there are even some things that I enjoy! Anyway, I just wanted to thank all of you for your prayers and support. Next time I see you all, I'll have another little boy!!!

Your babie boys just like to come into the world with a bang! I am glad to know that you and baby are doing okay. I wish I could be there to come see you.
It might be ambulated?? I dunno. It's good to see a picture of your whole family! Hang in there...
I'm glad to hear that you're surviving, Kyrsten! Kirksville isn't the same without you! Let me know if there is ANYTHING that you or Rob need!! Take it easy!
Cute family photo! You need to email me your skype account at the hospital so we can skype you and show off baby Seth. Hope you had a good weekend.
I wish we lived closer so I could help you out. You'll be in our prayers. Take care.
Oops! I didn't mean to delete my comment! Anyway...I was saying, I was just e-mailing you when I had the impression to jump on here instead and see if anything was new. Boy, you sure do have hard pregnancies! You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Wow...i hope they are taking good care of you can you post your address for me..i hope everything goes well...
You are such a trooper! I can't wait to see that new boy but he better wait for a few more weeks!!
Kyrsten, you are such a fabulous girl! I just love you. I'm glad I stopped by your blog for an update, I've been thinking about you. When I come to Columbia next week I'll stop by. If you'll let me know what you've been craving I'll make sure and bring it along. I'll be in touch!
