They released me from the hospital yesterday to my parents home. After a thorough exam yesterday morning, Dr. Gianina thinks that we definitely have some time to play with and that he would much rather closely monitor her than deliver given how early she is. If she starts becoming anemic in the next 2-3 weeks he will surgically perform a blood transfusion on her (in utero). Yes, that is through me. If she can hold off longer than that, then we will deliver her. He is a very positive guy, and feels very confident that we can do this. My next appointment is Tuesday, at 9:30 am. If she passes her exam again, the kids and I will go home to Prescott for a week. It will be nice to be home.
Oh, and Dr. Gianina switched my due date to August 10th, putting me at almost 29 weeks. My last 6 or 7 ultrasounds have had that date. He says that even if it is incorrect, it is better be on the safe side. We would rather make an informed decision on delivering a baby that we know is past 32 weeks, than one that we think is 32 weeks, but is actually 30. Makes sense to me.

Our girls were born at 33.5 weeks and are totally normal (well at least as Hansens go). Everything will work out, I have faith in the power of all the prayers offered in your behalf. I also know a little more now about preemies if you have any questions.

I was just wondering how you are doing this morning. I am glad for the good news and as always we are keeping you in our prayers. We will have to get together next time I am out that way so my kids can meet the baby they have been praying for! :)
I've been waiting on pins and needles for another update! So glad you are not at the hospital anymore!!! Hope you get to come home Tuesday.
