28 weeks

Today we had another ultrasound to determine if the placenta has moved away from the cervix; it has not. The tech said that it was pretty clear that the placenta was still completely covering the cervix. She then talked to the radiologist and he agreed and they did not do further testing with the internal ultrasound. We will be seeing our doctor on Wednesday for our 28 week check-up so I am sure I will get more info regarding my placenta previa then. Until then just please pray for us. Tom is remaining positive but I am having a hard time (could be just the preggo hormones).

The baby did look good today! The heartbeat was at 135 beats/minute and we got a great profile picture!

Here is our 28 week belly picture!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I know that my birthday was three weeks ago, but better late than never - right? Tom and Sawyer really made my day special. First I had flowers delivered to me at my Bible Study, then we spent the afternoon swimming at the Wilderness Resort, my mom then came and picked Sawyer up so that Tom and I could have dinner together (at the Moose Jaw), see a movie (Avatar), spent the night at the Wilderness and then we had breakfast at the Crackle Barrel...it was so much FUN!

Audrey Ann

On Monday I became an Aunt to a beautiful niece and on Thursday I became an Aunt again to another beautiful niece!!! Audrey Ann was born to my brother and sister-in-law (Tim and Amber) weighing only 5lbs and 7 oz and was 19 1/2" long (she was born two weeks early). I went there yesterday to see her and I must say that pictures do not give a true "picture" of just how tiny she is. Holding her was unbelievable - but yet so precious. I love her so much and am truly blessed to be called her Aunt!

Brenna Joy

My brother and sister-in-law, Terry and Sandra, had their fourth child this past Monday!!!! Brenna Joy was born at 6:15pm and weighed 8lbs 3ozs and was 21" tall. The following morning we went up to the hospital to see our new niece and Sawyer's new cousin. She is so precious and we love her so much!

24 weeks!

Picture from last month that I forgot to post...oops.




Today I had my 24 week check-up! Everything is looking good! The heartbeat was at 150-160 beats per minute. It was really cute though while we were listening to the heartbeat the baby kicked right where the Dr. had the doppler thing on my stomach. Both the nurse and Dr. commented on well my weight gain is going - last pregnancy they kept saying "now remember we like to keep it in the 30-35 pound range (I ended up gaining 38 lbs in case you were wondering). I am still measuring big though. I measured at 26cm (meaning 26 weeks). My thinking now is that with measuring big but good to low on weight gain...I am all baby.

Schoessow Sledding Party

This past Saturday we had a family get together for the Schoessow's and went sledding. It was such a gorgeous day for it; it was the perfect snow, warm weather and big snowflakes falling to make the scene even more beautiful! Total we ended up with 26 people (including adults and the kids).

I wish I would have taken more pictures but I guess that is what happens when you are having too much fun sledding and just being with your family. Take note of these pictures those. Uncle Tim decided to put the rocking horse on top of the sled and then push the kids down. It actually ended up being a lot of fun and the kids loved it (it never tipped over either)!!!

Playing with his friends!
