So far, So good...

I went to the doctor's yesterday and he gave me permission to stay at my mom's house for at least another week. I couldn't be happier!! Everything looked good and the babies are doing so well! They are all the size they should be for 28 weeks & 5 days. Their weights are 2 pounds 11 ounces, 2 pounds 14 ounces, and 2 pounds 12 ounces. My doctor was very happy and impressed with their sizes. If you do the math, okay I will do it for you...I have about 8 and 1/2 pounds of baby in me. My doctor also measured my stomach and it is the size of a person pregnant with one baby at 40 weeks!!! And he wants me to go another 4-6 weeks?! I go back to the doctor next Tuesday so I will keep you posted....

It keeps growing....and growing....

Here's my belly at 24 weeks....
26 weeks.....
And 28 weeks!

So many things to be thankful for....

First off, I am sure I could write a million blogs about the many things I am thankful for so I thought I would stick to one blog and list the things I am thankful for at the moment. To begin, I am 28 weeks pregnant!!! I never thought I would get this far, it seemed so far away back when I first went into the hospital. My next goal would be to get to 30 weeks and then 32 but I am already 3 weeks further than I got last time when I was pregnant so that is exciting. So since I did reach 28 and I am doing really good, I was released from the hospital Wednesday!! I am staying at my mom's house since mine is too far from the hospital and so I was able to enjoy Thanksgiving at my mom's with all my family. I go to the doctor on Monday and as long as everything still looks good I will continue to stay at my mom's. It is so nice to be out of the hospital and I have been feeling good since I have been out.
As most of you know my younger brother Matt moved to New York in August. He was going to come home for Thanksgiving but the ticket was going to be too expensive and since he is already coming out for Christmas he thought he would just stay in New York for Thanksgiving. I guess some of his roommates were staying in NY too so he wasn't going to be by himself. My mom was kinda bummed that he wouldn't be here and she kept talking about past memories involving Matt and Thanksgiving all day. Well around 2 o'clock guess who came through my mom's front door....my brother Matt!! No one had any idea he was coming, I guess he bought his ticket last minute on Wednesday because he couldn't imagine not being home for Thanksgiving and eating my mom's good food!!! Everyone was so excited to see him and it was an awesome surprise!

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and I will keep you posted how my stay at my mom's goes!!! :)

A few good books....

So I have taken up reading. I find it passes the time faster but that is as long as you have a good book. Luckily I have found a few good books, I have read 3 in the past week. I thought I would share their titles with you in case you are looking for a good book too.

*The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
*The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd
* The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

Today I am going to start reading Steve & Me by Terri Irwin. I'll let you know how it is.

I also have some good news. I've been pretty stable and doing well so my doctor might let me go home for Thanksgiving, actually to my mom's since she lives closer, and try bed rest there. I will still visit my doctor weekly and if things change then I will go back to the hospital. I'm just excited to get out of here even if it is for one day. But we will see, it depends on how the next few days good as to whether I get to leave or not. I'll keep you posted.

Tagged!

My friend Amy, who I have known since freshman year in high school, thought she would give me something to do to pass the time while in the hospital and tagged me. I would like to also thank Amy for visiting me in the hospital today. Amy, who lives in Arizona, was in town this week visiting her mom and I haven't seen Amy since my wedding 5 years ago. So it was good to see her and her son today! Thanks Amy!

Anyway, on to the tag:
RULES:
1. List the link to your tagger and also post these following rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog - some random, some weird, etc.
3. Tag 7 people at the the end of your blog also leaving the links to their blogs


7 facts about me:

1. When I was 7 I was hit by a VW Bug (the old school kind) while rollerskating across the street in front of my house. My dad was mowing the lawn in front of the house and saw it all happen. I was hit, flew some feet, the girls didn't know what they hit so they kept going and ran over me, finally stopping. I broke my femur bone, shattered my hip bone and had to get stitches in my head. I was in the hospital for 5 weeks (what's with me and long hospital stays?!) . This happened in February when I was in 2nd grade so I had to be home schooled the rest of the year.

2. In high school I went on a date with Hobie from Baywatch. He was so cocky and full of himself. Obviously things didn't work out. Haha

3. I have two tattoos. My first one I got is on the back of my neck and its the Japanese symbol meaning "blessed". I got it as an acceptance that even if I don't ever get pregnant (at one time I thought it would never happen) that I am still blessed. I got pregnant with Lindsay and Taylor two months later. :) My second tattoo is a red heart with a "T" inside on my wrist in memory of my daughter Taylor who passed away 18 hours after birth.

4. I have know my husband Brian since we were freshman in high school. We met at band camp. :)

5. The guy on 7th Heaven who got Haylie Duff's character pregnant (I forget his screen name) was my student two years ago.

6. My parents have been married for 30 years and I hope to get that far and further in my marriage.

7. Within the next couple months, I will have given birth to 5 children in the past 2 years!


Okay, since I only know 6 people with blogs and one person tagged me, I can only tag 5......


Matt, Sarah, Jessica, Julie, and Allison you have all been tagged!!! :)
