Hit the 30's!!!!!

We are officially in the 30's now. I just turned 30 weeks today and we are so excited!! Doctor's appointment went well today. We confirmed my cervix is still behaving :) Another great thing is that I remained the same weight which I am very happy about. We are right on track with weight gain. That was one of my worries with being on bed rest that I would gain more weight than I normally would due to not exercising...but looks like not being able to satisfy all my cravings has paid off ;0)

Meeting Whitney Paige for the first time!!

We got to meet Whitney Paige Connley for the first time Sunday! She is absolutely beautiful. She looked like a little doll. I can't wait for the nugget and WP to become the bestest of friends. Ohhh, the memories to make....we can't wait.
Lauren & Clark looked great too! We definitely know where she gets all her good looks ;0)
Many play dates to come.....

Big Brother's Birthday

My little Nugget,

Today is a special day because it is the birthday of the brother that you will never meet in person. Samuel Joseph was born on 8/24/07. He would have been 3 years old today. I know he is looking over you and will always be your personal little guardian angel. He is with Mommy & Daddy too! How blessed are we to have our own personal angel. Just as he will always be my forever child, he will always be your big brother and will be with you in spirit and heart. I hope that you can confide in him when you are sad and think of him in every butterfly that you see. We will always celebrate his birth. Much like you, he enjoyed kicking Mommy to remind her he was and always will be with her.

Love you,
Mommy

Bigger belly and shorter hair!

29 weeks and growing! Jimmy cut 7 inches off my hair. Much easier on bed rest!!

29 weeks - getting closer!

Great doctors appointment today! Everything is still behaving. Belly measurment is right on track. I was told today that if I continue to behave that at 34 weeks I may be able to modify my bed rest a little. Yeah!!! I may actually be able to recline versus only lay on my sides and get up a little more. That would be incredible!!

On a personal note it is Jimmy's birthday tomorrow and our 5th anniversary! Can't believe it's been 5 years already. Couldn't imagine spending or going through all that we have been through with a more incredible person. Even though we'll be spending it on bed rest it will still be great as long as we have each other. What accomplishments and life experiences we have been through together...more than some go through in their entire lives. I love you babe!

P.S.Baby girl loves you too...hence the heart shape on my belly :) You will be a great Daddy!!

Stella & Phoebe

Everyone is hoping our little nugget continues to grow more...even Stella & Pheobe. They are patiently awaiting her arrival and hanging everyday in bed with me. They do provide me with much entertainment from day to day ;0)

28 weeks - Huge Milestone!!!

Golden Nugget,

We made it to our first goal date of 28 weeks yesterday!!!! You now have an 85% chance of survival if you were born today (of course that is NOT our goal) which is a big increase from the following weeks. Mommy & Daddy are so proud of you! Keep up the good work and continue growing bigger and hopefully you arrive with chubby cheeks for us to kiss and pinch! Here is a picture of what Mommy looks like at this big milestone. As you can see she is growing too!!
We love you!!
