Joshua's 2nd Birthday and 29 Weeks Pregnant

It was Joshua's birthday on Sept. 29th. He turned 2 years old! It was a sad and a good day all at the same time. I cried. Collin hugged me. We mourned the loss of our little one again. But there is always the knowledge that we will see him again someday. That brings hope. That is what makes it a good day. Because even though we don't get to celebrate that day with him, we know that we will celebrate even better, brighter things in the future. Plus, I really don't think that I can compare to heaven. I bet he's having a blast up there right now. (wink wink)

My mom and dad were kind enough to send us some beautiful flowers. Those are what you see. There were 3 dozen roses, all different colors. They bloomed beautifully. I'm so grateful that we have people who remember us and Joshua on these special days. We still miss our little man, but even here... we are doing well.



Here I am at 29 weeks! I know I still don't look very big, and BELIEVE me... I hear about it all the time when I tell people how far along I am. What can I say? I'm naturally thin... giggle... (Ok, I thought that was funny, hopefully other people think it is too.)


So far, everything in the pregnancy is going well. I am visiting the doctor often. (More often than I want.) I am taking medications to help me ward off pre-eclampsia, and I am taking my blood pressure regularly. I can't say I ever thought that I would own a blood pressure cuff, but I do. So... anyone else need to check theirs????

I have had an ultrasound recently, and our little one was already 2 pounds 2 ounces! He's double the size that Joshua was when he was born... so this is a very GOOD thing. He also is a little wiggler. Collin and I have been enjoying watching my stomach. (That sounds weird, doesn't it?) Collin wants me to say that "He puts a whole NEW meaning to belly-dancing." So, all is going great there.

All in all we are great right now... I'll try and post a picture of Collin so you guys can all see how good he looks in his new "office" clothes. He actually looks pretty darn good all dressed up. We love you guys and hope all is going well with all of you!!
