Message from Rob


I just wanted to let everyone know what's up with Heather Lynne. Her contractions started to pick up again last night and at her cervical check this morning she was dilating through the cerclage with some tearing. They ended up taking her into surgery right away to get it removed before it started to tear through her cervix more than it already had. The last check that they did she was 5 cm dilated, but her contractions have slowed considerably. Emmett's head is very low, and his weight was about 4 pounds.

It's all just a waiting game to see how long she can hold out on her own. They think that she'll be delivering within the week, but there's still hope that she can keep gong for weeks to come.

Thanks for updating us Rob. We check on her every day. I am sending prayers for all three of you and hopes that Emmett still has a bit longer to bake. I'm happy to hear Emmett is around 4 pounds...that is a great weight and he is a fighter!

Thinking of you, Heather Lynne, and baby Emmett. 4 pounds is a great weight-- but I hope he stays put just a while longer! <3

Good luck! You've done a GREAT job keeping him in there this long, and I am sure he will be just fine! I hope he surprises us all and stays in there a few more weeks. - Tkeys

Rob, Heather Lynne and Emmett you are all in my prayers. I am sure he is a survivor just like his momma and everything will be just fine. 4 lbs is a good weight for 32 weeks and he will be fine. Hugs!

Thinking of you guys! I hope you can hold him in a bit longer, but it sounds like he'll be ok if he comes soon!
