Happy 28 weeks sweet baby girl

Happy 28 weeks sweet baby girl!  You sure are an active thing & you are OBSESSED with kicking up in my ribs, which for the record your big brother & big sister never did to me ;And yay, we have survived 7weeks/2days of bedrest!

You definitely know your siblings voices as anytime they are with me you get all crazy & then they get excited and get to feel you kick around.  They are MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU and they haven't even met you yet!  Big brother requested a special gift order for you this week so we will have that for your arrival and your big sister told me she really wants you to like dance so you both can do dance together :) 
 You. Are. So. Lucky. 
&
So. Blessed.

This past week was the hardest, most emotional week for me yet.  Last weekend I had crazy contractions and then this past Wednesday evening I had **light** spotting, which scared the daylights out of me!  I wasn't allowed to leave the upstairs the following day, to avoid further bleeding, which was absolute & utter torture for me.  It was a beautiful sunshiny day and to not be able to sit out back with my littles so they could splash around in their pool was so difficult.  But, I followed orders (and deep down was terrified of hospital bed rest if I didn't follow orders, so I literally got up to go tinkle and that was it!) and praise the Lord there has been no more spotting since that 1 time and just very few contractions.

I need to give acknowledgement & many thanks to our incredible friends that continue to blow me away with their selfless love and kindness.  The way they pop in for visits and offer to take the littles for the morning or afternoon so they get to still see their buddies (and also to help my Mom out) has been simply amazing, offer to bring meals or run errands while they are outAnd my incredible hubby & Mama that continue to plug along...I know they are both EXHAUSTED, but they keep everything going and I do not know what I would do without either of them; they are amazing!  I am so very fortunate & blessed and will never take it for granted. 

My heart is happy today; littles are happy and our little family is ecstatic to meet this baby girl that continues to keep us on our toes!  Praying this sweet babe stays put at least another 7-10 weeks...seems so far away, but praying we get there smoothly!  We see our doc for a check up at the end of this week and another ultra sound at the end of the month!
