A little premature

So sorry I have been away. Did you miss me?
Anyways, Amy wasn’t feeling particularly good on Wednesday so she went to see her doctor and was told she needed to go to the hospital because she was going into pre-term labor. Now this wouldn’t be such a bad thing except that our little girl was not due until late November which would make her (if born today) 7 weeks premature.
Basically, I have been at the hospital since Wednesday afternoon and haven’t slept much (if at all) since then. Amy has been on a magnesium sulfate drip to slow the contractions and (hopefully) delay the delivery, but it has been making her very nauseated and tired. Basically the doctors want to keep the baby inside as long as possible at this point. It is the safest place for her to be.
I have finally gotten a chance to come home and will (if I don’t fall asleep while typing) go to work this afternoon and then go to class before heading back to the hospital tonight. I am so excited to be a father, but I just wasn’t ready yet. Another month would have been good. I have also never been so scared about anything in my life. I am hoping and praying that this baby (whenever she comes) will be healthy and that there will be no complications with either mother or baby.
So, in case any of you were wondering, that is where I’ve been the past few days.
