April to May 2019- A Month in the Hospital



After the shock of finding Little Buddy and I in the hospital for days or weeks until his arrival because my water broke 10 weeks too early. We settled in to pray for a healthy baby and wait until he decided to arrive!
One week went by
Then two weeks went by.
One more week for a total of three and suddenly we had an arrival date (if he didn't come on his own sooner), of May 6, 2019. That would mean he made it to 34.5 weeks in my tummy growing and safe.

Suddenly, we finished week 4. 34 days waiting for his arrival in the hospital.
This picture was taken the evening before he was induced to come and join our family. May 5, 2019
This picture was taken April 4, 2019 after I spent the night hooked to monitors and getting shots in case, he arrived that very day. This was my very first full day in the hospital.

We loved watching this little face grow. It made 34 days away from home easier to bear to know he was growing safely still.
We spent Easter 2019 and Allie's 2nd birthday both in the hospital
The girls came to visit as often as we could get them here and we waited and prayed for Little Man.
Finally on May 6 in the evening after 9 hours of induced labor, our wait was finally over! Joshua had arrived!
