27 PLUS!

here we are, on Saturday. she was kicking Momma like CRAZY - so fun, as long as it's side-kickin'!! i was feeling knees or elbows or feet in my side (still can't figure out what limb it is for sure) but we know it's her. super fun.



















this week starts my third week of bedrest ... from what I've heard, if we make it to 36 weeks they'll let me up. October 2nd, baby! let's go!

so, some friends came over last week and i got them to help me make a flip calendar to count down the days. as my friend Dawn said, "one day at a time." yes, ma'am. exactly. yesterday it was 9 weeks - 63 days. counting down!! enjoying every day that passes. and next week is third trimester. can you believe it? WOW. amazing.













so looking forward fall. i missed spring (although I'm not sad that I have to be inside when it's 97 degrees outside and huumid!) but we're hoping and praying that by the fall I'll be up and she'll be here and we'll be healthy.

i had some PT this week to work on exercises that i can do in bed that won't put strain on my abdomen ... and the specialist put me on Ibuprofen to *hopefully* relax my body to ward off any pre-term labor symptoms.

things I've decided to do while in bed:

- learn some German from Rosetta Stone
- catch up on my email
- listen to all of the Harry Potter books (before the new movie comes out in November)
- write thank yous
- continue to blog
- think about my calling
- try to follow a Bible reading calendar
- do my exercises
- beat Jeremy at the Wii (yeah right. haha)
- try not to eat too many cookies or Kit Kats or ice cream bars. more peaches and apples and plums and yogurts. mmm.
- pray.
- be crafty

have anymore good suggestions for me??
