Melissa is here writing with me, in possibly her last calm and sound state of mind for a while (and thus mine, too). Pending room in the NICU (just in case Bea needs to go there), Melissa will move rooms tomorrow to the labor and delivery floor - where we started eight weeks ago. They will induce her using several kinds of fancy drugs, if everything looks good for a natural delivery. A natural delivery can take several days especially since this is our first baby and an induction. We will update the blog when we can but no promises.
The doctors were very surprised by how developed Bea's lungs are. She's still pretty little to be born (she's still two months early), but we're all optimistic she'll be a healthy girl. The doctors here have prepared us that Bea may need to go to the NICU for a day or two to get stabilized after birth. We have hopes she'll be in the special care nursery soon if not right after birth. We've already busted the Cincinnati stats. They expected she'd be born at 29 - 30 weeks. So we're feeling pretty good. Matt's feeling better than Melissa because he doesn't have to go into labor.
Please send us your good vibes. Thank you!

Hi Melissa,Matt,Bea
Well it sounds like little Bea will make her entry into the world soon.So on behalf of everyone at the mall I would like to send good vibes through this process that everything will go real smooth and little Bea will be as healthly as ever. Take Care and hopefully we will see some pictures of this precious little girl soon

Hi Matt and Missy-
Good luck with the upcoming delivery. I'm sure everything will be fine, especially since you all made it so far. Lucas was born at 35 weeks and was able to go home in 2 days. Hopefully Bea, although even littler, will be a trooper too! Even if she has to spend some time there it'll be great to be able to meet her and know that she's truly going to be all right. I'll be keeping you all in my prayers and can't wait to hear how everything goes.
Love, Anne
Baby

A wee bit of heaven
drifted down from above -
A handful of happiness,
a heartful of love.
The mystery of life,
so sacred and sweet -
The giver of joy
so deep and complete.
Precious and priceless,
so lovable, too -
The world's sweetest miracle,
Bea, is you.
Your little diamond will be dazzling you soon!
Best wishes,
Deb, Echo and Sierra
It was so nice to talk to you last night. I know you must be nervous about delivery but I hope it goes fast. I know you will be a great mom and don't worry about not knowing how to do this and that. It will come naturally. Just think, not only is her birthstone a diamond but you will also make Mother's Day. How great is that! Start making out your gift list for Matt. Brian and I can't wait to call your mom and dad Grandpa and Grandma soon. How proud you all will be of little Bea and how spoiled she will be (and well deserving). Hang in there, it is only a little longer. Love, Denise and Brian
