Small Glimpse. . .






Here are a few pictures of Caily going to feed the puppies, this is a daily occurrence and she enjoys her role of holding the puppy food (goy it, in her words) and then standing on the chair so they can't get her.  

I will try to post some belly pictures soon, I am not making any promises.  Baby is doing well, growing and kicking, but trying to come too early.  I went to the doctor on Friday and I am 1cm dilated and 25% effaced and I will be 34 weeks tomorrow.  My doctor set some goals for the two of us to reach, first one is tomorrow.  Once that one is reached 36 weeks, April 20, is the next goal and then 37 weeks is the ultimate goal.  At that point both baby and I can stay in Fredericksburg, most likely, and baby probably wouldn't have to spend any additional time in the hospital.  I am praying to hold out 'til May.  I am having quite a few contractions daily and I am not on bed rest, but my doctor told me less active and less lifting.  So, Darin and I are trying to figure out how this will work, I am thankful that it is now and not four weeks ago, like it was with Caily.  Your prayers would be appreciated that baby would stay in and that I would be able to rest with all that needs to be done around here.

Hey Jods,
Thanks for the post...we are praying for you, baby, caily and darin during this time. We do hope that baby miles decides to stay toasty warm inside for awhile.
Love

Praying for you here too.....that you will be able to rest lots and keep your feet up so baby miles can stay and grow for another 3 weeks. How I wish I was there and able to help and not here...talk to you soon.
