Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween. We had a ton of fun. Riley was the cutest Batgirl EVER. No, I'm not biased ;)

I may have had to sit around on the couch, but I did so in a pirate costume. (oh and yes, Mike is wearing eyeliner. LOL)

Well That Didn't Last Long

Friday, Oct 23 I starting having heavy bleeding at work. I called the doctor and they told us to go straight to Labor & Delivery. That is a scary place to be when you're only 22 weeks pregnant.

We were admitted and spent the night in the hospital to watch. Further testing showed (what we already knew) I had a low-lying placenta and the pressure of the baby on my placenta was causing the bleeding. The only way to stop the bleeding is for me to stay off of my feet and reclined at least 45 degrees. You know what that means...more bedrest.

Freedom

I still have to take it easy, but I can go back to work and be up and around a little bit! Whoo hoo! I never thought I'd be so excited to be able to sweep the kitchen floor. Hopefully, that is the last of the bleeding and the rest of the pregnancy will be smooth sailing!

So Thankful!

I cannot believe how blessed we are to have such amazing friends and family. From people bringing food to watching Riley to coming over to visit or calling to relieve some of my boredom, am so lucky to have such great support. Thank you all so much!

Bedrest

Today, the doctors put me on bedrest because of bleeding. I go back in a week and I am really hoping that I will be able to get up and around again. I never thought I'd say it, but I miss work.

Baby Girl has a Name!

Last night some of our best friends over to play games and have dinner. We had no idea what a special night it would turn out to be. The subject of baby names came up early in the evening and we never left the topic. We talked about names and went though baby books until 2 in the morning. That's when our sweet little girl became Callie Grace.

I was really touched by how much everyone cared about our family and our sweet Callie Grace. We can't wait to meet you.

It's a girl!

We are excited to announce that Riley is going to have a baby sister! My sister is one of my best friends and I'm really excited about the idea of Riley and the new baby having that special bond.
We haven't decided on any names yet, but we've still got some time before February.
