I had an NST last Tuesday and an Ultrasound on Friday. No big changes with Eli, but he sure is active! Whenever he moves you can see his hand or his foot from the outside, sometimes my belly looks lopsided when he's all curled up on one side, it's kind of funny watching my bump move around like that. He now weighs about 2lbs 8oz and is in the 17th percentile, which is great! I will continue to go the hospital twice a week, once to have an NST and another time to have an ultrasound or meet with my OB.
I can't believe I will be full-term in seven weeks. I've had Eli on my mind constantly, and it has become harder for me to think about what is ahead of me. I've been working on his playlist, and put a few of the songs on here for you to listen to. I know I need to start preparing for his arrival, but I have no idea where to begin. Not only do I have to prepare for his arrival, but I also have to start planning for when he leaves us. I never thought I'd have to plan my own child's funeral, it makes me sick to my stomach. For the next couple weeks I'm going to try focusing on planning for the hospital, packing a bag for myself and some clothing and keepsakes for Eli.

I am so saddened by your story, and I pray every day for Elijah. I pray for a miracle that will somehow let him stay. You are such a strong mama, and I know you will get through this. ::hugs::
I can't even begin to imagine how you go about preparing to say goodbye to your sweet boy. I think of you often and my T&P are with you and your family.
Still thinking of you and am always checking your blog for updates...stay strong!

You are always in my prayers.
Laura, I am so proud of you and your family. J and I pray for you every night, that God will help you understand the reason this little boy is in your life. I know part of it is to remind the rest of us not to take the little things for granted.
I am unbelievably amazed by your strength. I have no idea what I would do if I were in your situation but my heart goes out to you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers this Mother's Day.
