Emma Update

We went to the doctor last week for my monthly check up. I hit the 24 week mark so time is flying by fast. While we were there the doctor discovered some problems and I am now on bed rest. The problems that I was having and she found put me at high risk for preterm labor which we don't want so we are taking all precautions. Unfortunately on Friday night the pains had proceeded to get worse so we had to make a trip to the hospital for them to monitor me. We will see what she says when we go back next week. We've had 2 ultrasounds in the last 2 weeks and Emma is growing so much. Yesterday she was moving her mouth and tongue on the ultrasound as well as posing with her hand resting on her cheek. She moves non stop. She hates to have the monitors or anything for that matter resting on my belly. Bryan laid is head on my belly other night to nap and she kicked him a couple of times to wake up. Lilly has also gotten her share of kicks. She thinks my belly is resting place for her now and Emma doesn't like it. We are starting to pick stuff out for the nursery. We will take pics and post them when we start painting and get the bed and bedding. That's all for now.

Wow! I can't believe it's been 24 weeks already! That's great! I love the name Emma! Such a sweet name. I'm sorry to hear you've been put on bed rest. Hopefully you won't have to stay on it for the rest of your pregnancy. Sounds like she's going to be a soccer player with all that kicking! Can't wait to see pics of the room. But take it easy!
