Celebrating 30 weeks!!!

We made it to 30 weeks and we are feeling good.  Today the nurses were so sweet and made me a poster to celebrate and brought in girl scout thin mint cookies for me.  They even brought in some sunglasses for Henry and a food voucher for Jon.

Here I am before going to Church.  It is so great here, they have a 1/2 hour church service down in the cafeteria.  Jon brings the kids and we get to go to church as a family.  Henry loves it, he thinks it is pretty much just a song and a prayer!  We love getting to have an activity that we get to do as a family.

Here is Henry and I just cheesing it for the camera.  I LOVE seeing my family.  So we have a date set for the c-section.  It will change of course if I get any sort of infection, but we are hoping that we will make it.  APRIL 4th that means that we only have 2 weeks and 6 days left! AHHH.  I wanted to push it back to 34 weeks, but they are worried about infection and the length of time that I have been ruptured.  So now we will have him at 32 weeks and 6 days.  That was as far back as I could push them.  It is even on a Saturday.  So the end is in sight and we are doing well.  Thanks to everyone for your concern and all the amazing things that have been done for our family.  Thank you thank you!IMG_5706

I promise she was happy to see me.  Just not the camera!

Melissa you look beautiful. I am so glad that you and the little guy are still healthy and going strong. Kept us updated and I can't wait to see your beautiful little one.

Yay! Oh Melissa I am such a flake! After I posted a long time ago saying I would come see you I tried calling you for two days and didn't get an answer, and i was so nervous that you had your baby, but then you posted again - and then my family got sick! We are pretty good though, Gray's just got a little cold hangover. So I can now come see you for real this week:) I'm so glad you made it to 30 weeks, congrats! I hope you can hang on till the 4th and that you're doing alright - and not going completely crazy. You are one tough women!

congrats!! I thought anything could beat 9:00 church, but 1/2 hour max, might just be the winner. I'm so glad you updated. Everytime I see you did, I hold my breath hoping it's good news. Hopfully we see you drive down our street soon!

You look great! That is so cool that you guys get to go to church together. I bet your kids miss you so much! I still can't believe that our original due dates were so close, and now you are having your baby 8 weeks before me!

You look so cute! Congratulations on 30 weeks. We will get to see little Charlie we are coming down the third week of april. Best wishes on the next two weeks and 6 days.

Congratulations for making it this far. How much is this little guy weigh? We are praying for you. Miss you guys. Michelle

Kawa Rangers said...

Good, good luck. I will definitely keep your family in my prayers. Glad to see you are doing ok.

Michelle said...

That is great news! And wow that is soon. He is going to be soo tiny compared to your last baby Emma. I'm sure you are excited to get out of the hospital and see the little fellow - he has quite a few fans now. He might have to start his own blog! I'm just so glad that you've been able to wait this long. The long wait is almost over.

You look amazing too by the way. So pretty in blue. Love you!

Daryl and Ashley said...

Yay! I am so happy you are to 30 weeks. 2 more weeks. I am starting the countdown, until I get to see pictures of the new babe!

You're such a strong woman. You look great! I am sure the little man will be just fine. Most woman would love a 32 week pregnancy (minus the long haul in the hospital you've already done!). Can't wait to see pictures of the new wee one!

We are so happy to see such a happy update. I'm excited that you are doing so well: the power of prayer! We'll keep you in our thoughts and are excited to see our newest cousin when he arrives!
All our love.

The end is in sight! You look really amazing! I am glad you are being well taken care of, but what a lesson in patience you are getting! I can't wait to see your little man as I am sure you can't wait either (but wants what's best for him more than anything)

I can't believe it's coming so soon. You look so GREAT! That color is beautiful on you. Your eyes POP :) Know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I love you Melissa!

Hannah said...

Yea, Melissa! I am SO glad to hear all this good news! I think that's great that John and the kids come down every Sunday...how cute and fun and gives you something great to look forward to every week. I can't wait until you're all back here around the corner. The weather's getting nicer...we were even all out in tiffany's back yard yesterday and missed you.
