Still Waiting.

I can't believe I am now 8 months along. Every time we get an ultra sound, my dates change. This baby is growing fast and well. She measures 6lbs 3 oz. as of last week. And she is the size of 36 weeks. I am taking Niphedipine to stop labor. But the contractions are not stopping. In fact, they are getting harder and more intense each day. I am supposed to be on bed rest, but I am not sure how to do that with an active toddler. One thing I am staying away from is picking up Jadin too much. This has been so heartbreaking for me especially when Jadin looks up at me with those huge green eyes and says, "Hon, UP?" (Jadin calls me Hon cause that's what he hears his dad call me) When I have to tell Jade that I can't pick him up, tears build up in his eyes. It's so sad!

We are so excited to get baby girl Atwood here though. Some people have been asking us about names we are thinking about. We decided not to mention the name(s) we like just because we are not for sure and want to wait til we see her. But thanks for all your interest and support! we love all of you! And so many of you have reached out to help during this time. I feel so so so so blessed to have you as friends!

Heather you look great. Can the young women in your ward come and take turns helping with Jaden? That's what ours did with Cass. I'd offer my dd, but what she knows about toddlers wouldn't fit into a thimble. Hang in there.
