Man-oh-man, are there some serious baby prayers going on in Davis tonight...

Good luck! I am thinking about you way over here in France...lots of love and hope being sent your way... :)

Oh goodness. We're pulling for you guys. I'm all verklempt just thinking about ya'll. Poor HEB! But Shelby was 35 weeks, so perhaps it will be okay. Still, it doesn't matter how fine, it just hurts to see them have to stay in the hospital instead of your arms. Blessings to you both. Keep pumping! The Mississippi moon certainly hasn't gone down on your breastfeeding career by any means. Has it? Wait, lemme check...nope, still there. Big and shiny. Oh and my hubbo was a six week premature baby and look at him now! 6'1" and smart as all get out. Love ya'll!

I'm thinking of you and the little one. My baby was born in August at 35 weeks after my water broke early too. He didn't come home with us and I developed a very close relationship with my pump. He was on CPAP for a bit and then had to be taught to eat. FWIW, they thought that was par for the course for that gestational age. It was hard and heartbreaking but now he is home and fine and amazing. I pray all will be well with your llttle one and I am SO HAPPY for you. I know you are worried but try to enjoy your labor (sounds nuts) and hope for the best. I've heard of 34 weekers who have had no problems whatsoever. Just depends on the kid and I have a hunch HUB is a strong guy :-) Email me anytime if you need some support - I sure did.

I am sending up prayers for you guys now and lots of good ju-ju. I have no baby stories to share....wish I did but I have also heard of lots of 34 weekers that were born with problem free. It is obvious that your baby already has a ton of love around him with you & HE hubbo--just keep sending all that love down to him. I will be thinking of you.

I'm with you all the way. You all will soon be holding your brand new baby. I can't wait to see him myself! Lots of love and prayers from me too...

I am sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers down to you.

HEJ, I'm another premmie mum, my 3rd babe was a male caucasian born at 34w 3d. He wasn't intubated, and I hand expressed then pumped until we went home when he was 3.5 wks old (38w gestation, my local hospital was brilliant and I got to stay the whole time). He's now nearly 4, with no long term effects from being prem, and you would never know the rough start he had to life. Babies are amazingly resilient creatures, they work it out pretty quickly. ONe of the best things I was able to do was hold him to my bare breast whilst he was being tube fed - he got to know that that feeling and smell meant satisfying his hunger. If you can, see if your hospital has an IBLC or contact for a La Leche League representative (I'm not sure how it all works in the US), they have a lot of experience with prem babies.
But whatever comes to pass, I'm praying for you and your HEF (High Energy Family!!)for the arrival of a safe and healthy babe.

Thinking of you and your little one! Take care!

Oh my goodness!!! I am just in awe that you are blogging in labor. :-) Lots and lots of prayers for you and HEBaby. Update us when you can.

Sending the best of safe and warm thoughts to you, John and your most perfect new one.

How cool that the hospital has wifi! Hope you and HEJ birth a happy, healthy baby.

I'm adding my prayers to yours that he will be alright. Hang in there, and keep up posted if you can.

I will be thinking of you - take care!

Praying so hard right now for you, J & the boy! Tommy is too! He wants to meet his little playmate, but I had to explain to him it will have to be a little while, and after his head cold is gone.

Jenny, you are very brave and strong and you're gonna pull through this with flying colors, and that baby is going to come out already the awesomest kid.

Also, the lactation consultant there is fantastic, and I know you will have lots of help with the pumping thing. And since I pump too, I'm also available if you need some company!

I'll wait to try and call you until later; I remember what it is like and you may not want to talk on the phone right now. But if you are able to keep checking your laptop in your super high tech room, I hope you will read this soon and know that your whole family is enveloped in a coccoon of safety and warmth and love and prayer. We love you! (So does my mom; she reads this too, and knowing her, I am sure she is a-praying away.) xoxoxoxo MJ

Thinking of good thoughts for you three, lots of good thoughts!

Jenny, you and your family are in my thoughts. Take care!

Sending all good thoughts your way! I know it's not what you planned, but that little guy just couldn't wait to get out and meet his parents. And who could blame him? Can't wait to meet him!
xoxoxo

Hang in there, girlie! There's a massive bunch of good thoughts and prayers heading your way - we all love you guys and I know that you're gonna rock this.

And I so can't wait to meet Tiny Energy Schmoo.

Many many prayers and love to your family! You, HEH & HEB are going to do great!

Praying for you and baby and High Energy Husband!! The little guy is going to be just fine, he's got the well wishes of bazillions of knitters worldwide behind him, and that's powerful stuff. We love you!

Sending good thoughts and prayers your way :)

oh my!! that was so quick! well, the good news is that a baby is considered full term at 37 weeks and you have been looking mighty big so i'm guessing that HEB will be just fine with a little stay in the hospital. one of my coworkers gave birth at 30 weeks and her daughter is doing great now! you're in my thoughts!

Oh! Sending positive happy thoughts your way!

Oh, HEJ you and the wee one and the high energy hubby are in my prayers. This has got to be very scary for all of y'all. There are terrific doctors and great facilities where you are, and I know they'll do a great job. Many positive thoughts and prayers for a happy, healthy little one.

Prayers going out for all three of you. Lots of love and good vibes being sent your way.

JENNY!!! ALL MY LOVE AND GOOD THOUGHTS TO THE THREE OF YOU!! I'm here if you want to talk about anything! EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE.

LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU!

I'm thinking of you guys! Lots of prayers are heading your way.
xoxoxoxo

Good luck! Health and safety to all of you!

Happy thoughts for you and the HEB!

Our prayers go out to you. One of my toddler's best friends was born six weeks early and he's the most adorable, talkative little boy you'd ever want to meet. With parents like you, HEB will thrive!

Don't worry my son was early too maybe earlier than we thought by the due date and he is more than fine. We are all praying for you and wont stop even after he is home with you, all of our babies need prayers all the time. Good luck with the delivery and stay strong for yourself and HEB.

I will be sending great thoughts to you and baby HEB:)

I'll be thinking of you and the HE fam.

Jenny! It's only been five months since my own little peanut was born and I can easily put myself in your hospital room and empathize. I am sending piles and piles of good love and blessings to you and your HEB, with faith that he will be just fine. Please keep us posted when you feel up to it. xoxxo

I'll be thinking of you, sending good vibes south. Take care of you!

We hold you, your husband, and the little one in our hearts, in our hope for you, and in our prayers...

Praying for you and your family, Jenny!
