As many of you know, my aunt (really more like my sister) is pregnant with her first child.
She is due in early-May, but it seems the baby may have other plans.
This morning, Val went into pre-term labor. So far, they have given her four shots to stop the contractions, and they seem to be taking. They have also given her a steriod shot to strengthen the baby's resperatory system. They hope she will not have to deliver the baby before they have time to give her a second shot tomorrow.
She is on strict bed rest at the hospital (no getting up to even go to the bathroom!), and she will likely stay for at least a week, unless she gives birth before then.
The good news is, the baby is doing great, Val is in good spirits, and my bag is packed and waiting by the door!
More as it comes in! Meanwhile, please keep Val, Mark, and the baby in your prayers!
