Well, we made it to 24 weeks.
Wasn't sure I was ever going to get here.
Yesterday was a long day, and even longer night.
The maternal fetal specialist appointment went good. Tessa is measuring in the 36th percentile. Her fluid is about the same.
The cause of the bleeding was found at the edge of my placenta. A small tear was found. All things considered, it could be worse.
We headed straight to Spectrum, and spent the afternoon filling in doctors and nurses with our medical history.
The kids came up around dinner, and we had a great time watching a movie in bed together.
Josh took them home, and my parents were helping me to the bathroom one more time when I started bleeding again.
Off and on all night, we monitored Tessa to make sure that she was not stressed out.
Long night.
I am hoping and praying for an uneventful day.
I believe we meet with the Nicu doctor sometime today or tomorrow. Tessa got her first steroid shot, and will get one more today at five. Josh teased that he wanted to do it, since he got so good at shots.
My biggest prayer right now is that I would stop bleeding, that Tessa's lungs would be developed, and I remember to take things one day at a time.
Thank you for your prayers and concerns!

Thanks for the update Jam. Glad you could spend time with the boys last night, and that you are all settled in :) We will continue to pray!
Jamie, we have been praying for you for a long time now. My son Matt was in Josh's class this year. You will continue to be in our prayer's daily until Tessa is born healthy and happy. I am so glad Josh gave me this blog to follow and be another prayer warrior for you. God can do anything we ask and he still performs miracles today. On the days you doubt, we will believe for you. We will hold you up and keep praying for your spirit and peace through all of this. We wil keep Josh and your boys upheld also.
