28 Weeks

Well, today I hit 28 weeks. Jeff just headed home for the week. But, before he left he took another belly picture. Since they are letting me wear my own clothes, you can get a better shot of the belly. I look so happy, perky and attractive...NOT! I guess you can't ask for much more after two weeks in the hospital. Don't expect it to get much better folks...LOL

Anyway, here's the 28 week belly pic for your viewing pleasure.

PS.
Don't forget to go add your guess to the "Guess my weight" post below!

MANY MANY THANKS!!!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank a few people for their help this weekend. I want to make sure I keep up with this before the list gets too long for my feeble memory to keep up with...LOL

Karen-Thank you so much for taking he boys to the picnic on Saturday. You gave my mom a much needed break and gave her a chance to go do some unmolested shopping at Wal Mart.

Kristi-Thanks so much for taking Jack to church with your family this morning. He's such a social little boy and loves being around other kids his age. Just getting him out of the house for a few hours does wonders for him.

Vicki & Jaime-Thank you and your hubbys so much for mowing the yard today. Mom says it looks great and it's one less thing for Jeff to worry about. She also enjoyed the chance to have a few minutes to herself with a cup of coffee and some chocolate pie.

I don't know what we would do without the wonderful people we have in our life.

THANK YOU!!
Pam, Jeff, Jack, Michael & Barbara

Jeff's 2 cents for the day...

Who was the hack who took those soccer pics?
I wonder if our bathroom scale is accurate enough to win the baby weight poll? Hmm...

Small update

Well, not a whole lot that is really new. I'm still here, bun is still in oven, no contractions, bleeding, etc...etc...

When the Dr came in this morning, I asked her what was our goal for me to get out of here. She said that they would check me at 32 weeks and if there were no changes and my OB was comfortable with me delivering at 32 weeks they would send me home on bed rest and Procardia. If I were to go into labor after that, as long as the baby's lungs were mature, they would stop the meds and let me deliver. Evidently the 32 weeks is when the danger of a brain bleed goes away. When I was being admitted to OS Hospital for transfer to USA, my OB actually mentioned me being here until the 34 week mark. So I'm imagining that his comfort level is 34 weeks. So I may be in here another 4 weeks, I may be in here another 6 weeks.

Jack's 1st soccer practice

Jack had his 1st soccer practice. Jeff said he did well for his 1st time out. He was done after about 25-30 min. Jeff was very impressed with Coach Bob and Coach Art. He said that they were very patient and kind with the kids. He also meet Coach Bob's wife Jennifer and said that she was very nice and offered her help in making sure that Jack was able to make it to practice and games. We do appreciate all the kind offers of help we have received.

People have asked for me to share his soccer schedule so I've included it below.

All of these games are at 8am at Freedom Field in Ocean Springs.
