My, how you've grown



Here is me at 25 weeks. We are starting to get more and more excited about this summer baby. Ashton is almost moved into his new room and as far as baby boy stuff goes, we've got it covered. The baby is growing and healthy. I have already started having contractions and we are crossing our fingers that I can stay off bed rest at least for a while longer. Ashton is such a good baby to be able to entertain himself when I need to rest and take it easy. I have had ultrasounds at my last 2 appointments, and will continue to do so until the end because my contractions have already changed my cervix a little, and we want to keep a close eye on it. I started pre-term labor with Ashton at 31 weeks and was on bed rest until he was born at 37 weeks. We are praying that this baby will hold out and continue to grow inside until he is truly ready. I'm so thankful for great doctors, technology and medicine. We'll keep you updated on the progress of our baby.

Thanks, you're sweet. It's crazy how you forget what being pregnant and getting big is like (even though it wasn't that long ago that I was pregnant with Ashton).

Look how cute you are! Please let me know if you need anything. I am off on Tuesday and Thursday. I also have a nanny on M-W-F (usually) if you need help with Ashton.

Thanks for all the comments. I don't think I will be at Peters wedding :( and I'm so sad because I want to see everyone. Maybe Tommy would bravely take Ashton so everyone could at least see him...??

you should totally sent Ashton with tommy, this probably means no family reunion either which is a total bummer- you guys live so close now compared to D.C. so we better get to see you soon- we will just have to plan a fun trip for you after this baby comes then we can see them both. I know Michael would love to play with Ashton, any names yet for this new one- sorry for all the questions
