Yeah, another update just two days later. If you didn't read that one go ahead and read it first.
For the last few days Jenn has been experiencing some cramping and other pains due to the pregnancy. She had been continuing to work full time throughout the pregnancy other than a few weeks off following the diagnosis of Grace's heart condition. We decided to go to the doctor again yesterday to check out the pains to make sure it isn't anything more serious. After three hours in the hospital they said things were fine and we could return home.
Today was our normal checkup. We are going every Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Starting next week we were supposed to start going every day. However, things are so stable he said to keep the three a week unless something changes. However, with the addition of the cramping he decided to play it safe and put Jenn on medical leave from her job beginning immediately.
The doctor says we will plan on a C-section at 38 weeks but then added that he will be surprised if we can hold out that long (a normal pregnancy is 40 weeks). In his eyes if we make it to 38 weeks he will be ecstatic. He is not convinced we will make it that long. In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if Grace came at any time from now until then. So far so good however. Keep on praying and trusting the Lord.

i guess it makes sense that she start maternity leave before she starts going to the hospital every day. i hope that's not a serious financial burden. how much time off is she allowed for it?
