Quick Monday update

My internet seems to be up and down - but I wanted to say that we're still plugging along with things and the procardia seems to be holding things at a tolerable level for yet another day! We're definitely moving forward in a positive direction I feel and two more great things happened. First we are officially 28 weeks - how cool is that! Second we got to have another glimpse at our little girl - I'll try to upload a ultrasound picture of her tomorrow if I can - and she is still doing great! She's growing and making some progress. For anyone who has worked in labor and delivery, they know that the old urban myth is that more babies are born on nights with a full moon or when it's raining and storming more so than any other time. Well, today is both a full moon and it is storming like crazy outside. But little Spot has been quiet and I've had the least amount of contractions since the whole last week. So I think we're going to prove that old urban myth wrong and definitely not have a baby tonight, LOL!

Thanks again for following along on this bumpy ride with us and for all the encouragement and prayers..you are simply the best.

I am so thrilled to see you are at 28 weeks and little Spot is holding on so tight. She has one very courageous and tough mama so it's no wonder she is such a fighter too. Hang in there, Sara!!

You are totally awesome for making it to 28 weeks! Hang in there, I know this is really hard on you. Tell Spot that I say hi! And tell her that she is not to hurry up just to beat mine. I know how competitive kids can get about being the oldest! (So speaks the youngest in her class.)

Mandy said...
