28 weeks and counting

So I figured that I had better update to let everyone know how things are going. Today is a great day, thus a good day to update! I just went in for a bio-physical and a Non stress test and they both were fantastic. He is just getting older and stronger and he looks great. I was worried last night because I was leaking a lot more, having more contractions and cramping, but turns out the little stinker just turned breech again and that was causing the problems. I don't have any signs of infection and my fluid is staying close to the same-low, but fine for the baby to stay in. I have not gone crazy yet, so no worries. I have had so many amazing people visit me, teach me new skills, bring games, books, movies, treats-I am so thankful! I actually have so many projects going that it is hard to choose what to focus on for the day. I have some hard days and I miss my family, but Jon and the kids have been able to come for visits and they have been so good. We have been so blessed and are doing really well. Thanks to everyone! We love you!

Hopefully we will see a post soon that says 32 weeks and the baby is here and healthy! Charlie has done a great job at being patient even though I know he is super excited to meet you, Jon, Henry, and Emma. I loved seeing all the family at Oscar's party Monday night. We missed you but I did take some pics so I will have to send you some. Henry and Emma are both so cute with Ellie. Charlie is going to be well taken care of!
