Hi guys, just an update. Mom and baby are doing well. Contractions are kept at bay, or reduced to 2 or 3 every hour at the most, sometimes less, sometimes more, but weekly check ups tell us baby Sophia is doing very well. We've only been back to the hospital once in the past 3 weeks when Chelsea woke up with some piercing type pains, but after a few hours there, everything checked out. Wife and I watch a lot of TV, and my mother-in-law comes over every Friday night to help me catch up with house chores. Doing a lot of cooking myself, which I enjoy, but my repertoire of pasta, BBQ, and stir fry are exhausted. Chelsea goes off the medication in 6 weeks, as they say that is when Sophia's lungs will be fully developed and able to survive in the outside world. At that time, we've heard of women going straight into labor, and of women who continue to carry full term, so we'll see, and I'll keep you all updated. Thanks for letting me "blog" about it here, its somewhat therapeutic for me to do so.
I want to thank you all for your emails, text messages, phone calls, and prayers. Chelsea and I are very grateful we have the good friends and family we do to help us through this. Thank you everyone.
