The last month has been very difficult. It is impossible to escape the pending doom of my son's inevitable death. There is nothing I can do to stop it or slow it down. I stay up late at night to make time pass more slowly. We visit with family as much as we can. The pregnancy is getting harder for Sarabeth. Her amniotic fluid is elevated. She is really uncomfortable. She has contractions on and off. Our fear is that Henry will come too soon, before he ever has a chance to take a breath. I pray every day that I would get to meet Henry. That would mean so much to me.
We've been able to see Henry twice on the 3D ultrasound. Our daughter and mothers were also able to see Henry. This has been a great comfort to see our son, and on some level to interact with him. He is always active during ultrasounds, like he knows we're watching and he is showing off. He thumps the heartbeat monitor whenever we listen to him. He is a really strong baby.
