30 Weeks!

Well we've made it to 30 weeks! This was my first major goal besides all of the smaller stepping stones I'd made along the way. When I was first put on bedrest at 21-22 weeks the doctor seemed to think that I would be very lucky to make it to even 30 weeks so I feel very blessed to be here. With my doctor visit this week and his optimism, I am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As I was sitting in the Dr.s office I was remembering how fun my first pregnancy was before I knew anything could go wrong. I was trying to convince myself to enjoy this (possibly my last) pregnancy. Lately I have been feeling that I have the gestation of an elephant but someday I'm sure I'll miss those kicks and flips inside my belly. Carter likes to converse with the baby through my mouth. I guess he thinks the sound will reach him better in my tummy that way.

Little League

It's hard not being able to see my little boy start baseball but Daddy is doing a good job of trying to include me. Here are some pics for you to be included too.

Christmas in March

So I just finally got around to posting some of the pictures from Christmas break. Carter, his dad, cousins and Uncle Mike went up to the snow for a day of fun while we were visiting them in Roseville, CA. Below is a picture of Ella and cousin Dominic. Thanks Ryann for helping me with my pictures! :)

Sweet Boy

Today I got to lay outside for the first time. My mom put a blanket on the grass and my pillows and I layed outside while the kids played. It felt so nice after two months of being inside. While I was out there Carter brought me out a glass of water and a snack without me asking him to. He told me that he remembered all of the nice things I used to do for him and he wanted to do something nice for me. How many 5 year olds are so considerate. I thought that was very sweet.

Half way there!

Seven weeks down and seven more to go! Exciting but kind of depressing at the same time. Carter has started playing baseball and although I have not been able to attend his games Matt brings back the video camera for me to watch. As soon as I can get someone to download the pictures I will post them.
