Ok, we are still have internet problems at the hospital and hopefully we'll have that fixed today. We are now in a private room which is nice.
We had a pretty calm weekend just getting monitored, but yesterday Caroline had a contraction and the baby's heart rate when down, which they didn't like. So we went ahead and had an ultrasound which showed her amniotic fluid levels around a 3 (no change). The baby was moving a lot on the ultrasound which reassured the Doctor. If we have repetetive contractions with drops in heart rate, then they'll go ahead and bring Eliza out. So we'll just continue to be monitored.
Caroline is doing well and is NOT a wreck. I think she is comforted in knowing that we are now at 33 weeks which is so much better than where we were at 17 weeks. I don't think we would have thought we'd get this far. So we know that all chances are that Eliza would be fine with a short stay in the NICU if she came now.
Also, your support and prayers help Caroline and me and Eliza of course. She really does feel the concern and support that you all provide. So keep it up! Doctor's orders!
We did take a tour of the NICU last night and they tiny babies. Some were good in size but one was no more than 2 pounds and really small. It's sad to see but they really are fighters!! Miss Eliza is too!
Love and thanks to you all!

Glad you got a private room and are settling in. Mary Farrell is looking forward to seeing pictures of Miss Eliza when the time comes. (She already thinks they're friends.) Too cute. Are you still pretty in pink?
Thanks for the report...everyone sounded great this morning, which is music to my ears.
Call yall soon.
love you all!!
Caroline,
Love all the updates! Still sending good thoughts your way. If I remember, they estimated her weight at about 3 and a half pounds. Do you remember Celeste? She weighed about that and was in the hospital for 3 weeks but look at the fireball now. And that was in 1979...medicine has come a long way since then. Don't know what helps now but I hope positive stories do. Thinking of all of you!!! Michele
Thanks for keeping us posted, Eric...you are doing a great job! I hope you all are getting some rest, although I'm sure its hard right now. I am SO happy she is still hanging in mommas belly and you made it 33 weeeks!! That is really amazing. Sleep all you can now! Love you!
Hello Lytle's - our internet was down so we were missing our Eliza updates. I stopped Eric's mom outside today and got the update and got home to a live internet.
The bus stop is thinking of you every day!
