Back home
Thanks so much for everyone’s well wishes!
Katie and I are back home. After more than 24 hours of preterm labor that refused to go away while simultaneously refusing to accomplish anything, the midwives drugged Katie up and sent us home to rest. My guess is that’s it for today; she will sleep the rest of the day and nothing else will happen for now.
But really no one knows anything. We could be back in the hospital tonight or we might still be waiting weeks from now. The magic date for delivery at Lisa Ross is just a few days away (they moved it up, but I didn’t hear what to), so that’s when I’m hoping for.
And until then, Katie rests. And for now, we will both rest. It’s good to be home.
The last 24 hours have brought a roller coaster of emotions. We were just coming to terms with the baby’s precipitant arrival and now we’re adjusting to home without her. Of course it’s best that she cook a little longer, I just hope the next time we have to go see the midwives, we’ll come home with better news.

Glad to know that in this case, no news was good or neutral news.
Have a good nap!
Good luck to you guys!
I’ve been trying to follow along and I don’t get it. WHY do you all want a baby 4 – 5 weeks premature? That’s just insane!
Hope you both get some rest and when the time is right, Charlotte will make her appearance.
Take care and know we’re thinking of you!
Yes, take care. And yes, Jon, you should nap too. Dana
Nothing but well wishes from me. Rest well. Thanks for the update.
Change the message on your voice mail and then unplug the phones. I would lock the doors and draw the curtains, too. Hide in bed together and rest, rest, rest.
[...] see if someone else sponsors us for the blogathon to keep Doug clothed during his shift and see how Katie and Jon are doing. Otherwise, I’m scooting over to this blog until Sunday. Sometime tonight we might [...]
I hope that you both can get some much-deserved rest.

both of you.

Hoping for a few more weeks of rest for all of you. She’ll get here when she’s ready, hopefully headfirst and ready to take on the world!
Oh good good good… that baby girl needs a little more time in the oven! Babies know these things.
Praying for all of you.
Sending you head down and sleeping vibes!!
