We made it to the next milestone! I know, I keep saying each milestone is a big one, but 32 is a big one :) I was reading some information on premature babies that my nurses gave me, and it says that the babies have a 98% chance of survival when they make it this far! That sure makes me feel much more at peace. Obviously every day still counts and I want to make it another 2 weeks and a day, but I am feeling so much more relieved. Being on bedrest, you have so much time to worry. And since I started bedrest quite early, those first few weeks were really hard for me. I was just so worried I wouldn't make it much longer (let alone make it to the 30's). Now I am finally on the opposite end. I am scared that the next 2 weeks will fly by and suddenly I will have triplets to care for! YIKES! I'm just really really thankful we are more prepared now and have lots of people willing to help us through the next little while. I really don't know how my body will adjust to going from doing nothing to suddenly being extremely busy. I just hope everyone will bare with me as I make the change.
Anyways, I haven't had any dr's appointments or ultrasounds since last post, so no medical updates. The big event for us was that we moved over the weekend. Since we are doubling the size of our family, and hiring a live-in nanny, we decided we needed more room. So we decided to move even though we knew it would be really hectic... And by we, I mean that I laid on the couch and watched as Richard, my mom, my dad, and Jen (our nanny) packed us up and took boxes to the house all week long. Boy I felt guilty just sitting there! Then on Saturday we made the big move. I went to Jason and Kamry's house with Benson, and Rich, my parents, Richards parents, and some men from church helped with the move. We have had so many wonderful people who have been so willing to serve us lately. I've never really had to be on the receiving end of service before, and it just makes me so grateful for people who are so willing to serve. And not only be willing to serve, but people who are proactive about serving (I'm not the type to really ask for service until someone offers). I am thankful for people who see a need and insist on helping. I hope I have learned from this experience and can be better at being aware of those around me who could use some help and have the courage to insist that they allow me to serve them!
Well that is all I have to update for now. My next appointment is on Thursday, so I I'll try to post an update later this week.
You're amazing Leslie! Good luck!
