Updates

We have reached 24 weeks!  According to the doctors this is a milestone, and that things are improving with each week. I'm still on bed rest, but it has been modified.  I also have been released to attend my master's classes a few Saturdays a month.  This news makes me very happy as I enjoy human contact. Being on bed rest does not allow for much human contact besides with the hubby, baby boy, and the parents.

This weekend will be a weekend jam packed with moving.  Our POD arrived on yesterday, and the hubs and family will be packing it while I attend school tomorrow.  I'm very sad about us leaving our first home as a married couple, but I know God has great things in store for our little family to be.  We hope to be moving out of my parents house by mid-April. Of course this is contingent upon the health of the baby and me.

Wednesday and Thursday, I received my beta shots for Baby LJ's lung development.  According to the doctors, I should not need to receive these shots anymore, but we'll see.  My next ob-gyn appointment is March 14, and I hope to schedule my glucose screening test at that point as well.  I have been praying diligently that I pass the 1 hour test, so that I don't have to complete the three hour test. 

God willing, and I feel in my heart that He is, I hope to return to school by the end of the year still pregnant with Baby LJ of course.  I miss my students so much, and I can't wait to get back in a routine of sorts.  However, if the doctor advises against it, then this mama won't be seeing them until next year. :(
