I need you guys to pray or send good wishes or whatever you believe, for some friends of mine. The momma is pregnant with baby number three and he wants to come out early.
At Thanksgiving they were in my home town to visit the momma's family and she started bleeding and was put on bed rest. She stayed with her parents while the daddy went back to Alabama. The Monday after Thanksgiving she was rushed to the hospital and her water broke. The daddy drove all night to get back to her.
The baby is only 23 weeks, a little over halfway, and he needs to stay in there for a while. The momma kept bleeding and had a fever, but by yesterday morning things were better. She had a good ultrasound and there was fluid in the sac. They're giving the baby steroids so that he grows quicker.
Tonight we found out that the bleeding has picked up. If you are spiritual or religious, please pray for this family. Pray for that the momma will have joy and peace, because being on bed rest is very hard, especially not knowing if your son is going to make it or if he is going to have disabilities. Pray that the baby develops quickly and stays in the womb.
You guys are awesome, and this family needs all the prayer they can get. Just knowing that there are tons of people out there they don't even know praying for them is a source of strength for them.
I'll give updates as they come. You guys rock.
* UPDATE: The momma is bleeding a lot and may need a blood transfusion.
*UPDATE: Major contractions. The baby is now 24 weeks in development, but needs to stay in there and grow some more.

Sending some prayers their way right this minute!
Hope everything turns out ok for them<3
Praying for her....
Oh, really praying for her.
When my mom was pregnant with me, she was also put to bed rest. I came after 35 weeks, which isn't that bad, but I was already almost 10 pounds.
Really sending my prayers...
Wow, that's some serious stuff. I will pray too!
You can count on me Coconut! What a scary situation for their family, sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers their way.
Prayers heading your friends' way!
Whenever I hear that a mom is on bedrest (especially a mother that already has one or two running around) I remember back to the days that I had to basically threaten my aunt to stay in bed and I would still come home to find her doing things she shouldn't. You would think that the lounging around would be fun but as soon as you tell something they can't do, that's all they want to do. Good luck to her!
Definitely keep me posted. I'm sending positive thoughts right now.
I'm sending positive thoughts, too.

Wait, that was a negative thought.

That's better . . .
Sending many prayers and good thoughts to your friends.
I sent a load of positive vibes your way. Keep the faith!
You guys are great! See, I knew you would do it!
Can I ask are the legs or the person holding the legs? I have always wanted to know for some reason.
Hey, how are you?
Oh I hope every thing turns out ok. This will keep this in my prayers.
Wow, that sounds serious! I'm sending my good thoughts to her. It's Christmas--miracles can happen.
