Hi,
I am 21 weeks pregnant and in the hospital for the second time for lung infections. My doctors anticipate that I will deliver between 34-36 weeks, due to my constant infections. So, even though my due date is March 12, we are anticipating that our baby boy, Alex (James or Joshua for the middle name) will be born between January 29 and February 12. This is my first pregnancy, although I have a wonderful three-year-old boy I adopted when he was two days old. Even though this pregnancy has been rough and seems to be taking a toll on my body, I am very happy to be having a baby. I can feel him kicking now as I'm typing this message, almost like he wants to put in his two cents. Some things that worry me are the effect of the IV drugs I am taking (TOBI for hearing loss), the possible effects on the baby with preterm labor and getting to the hospital in time (I live three driving hours away and will have to be lifeflighted to Anchorage). Overall though, I am just trusting God to keep this precious boy heathly and protected.
