Milestone Day!
Today, I am 31 weeks and 5 days pregnant. It's not generally a gestational age that pregnant moms celebrate, but for our family it's a huge day! Henry and Jonathan were born on December 22 at 31 weeks and 5 days. We are grateful to God that we've not seen any signs of preeclampsia so far in this pregnancy, and that my doctors are taking such good care of me.

The boys spent their first 29 days of life being well cared for at Children's Hospital. When I see a fund raiser for Children's Hospital, I still tear up. I'll never forget the time we walked into Sam's Club about two years ago for a quick shopping trip to see an old empty isolette/incubator that they were using to put money in for the hospital. Our boys spent a lot of time in those. The greeting lady wasn't prepared for a blubbering NICU mom to walk in the door. I'm glad Rob and the boys were with me...it wasn't pretty.

Our next goal is FULL TERM! I will be officially full term (37 weeks) on November 26.


Here's some early pictures of the boys in the NICU at Children's Hospital.

    I teared up and I only had to look at the pictures and read about it, not live it like you. Of course, we did do a brief stint in the NICU with Bella, but only a week. What a blessing healthy babies are, huh?! Praying for a healthy, full term baby for you!

    Wow, just think that was almost 4 years ago. Katie spent over 12 weeks (89 days) in the NICU and to look at her now you would never know it. Congratulations on this big milestone! Can you e-mail me you new e-mail address. I got a new e-mail, christie_rice@comcast.net . I need to send you some new pictures. Hope to hear from you soon.
