29 weeks! Only 8 more weeks to go!!!


Things have continued to go great! I saw the doctor last friday and now that I'm approaching 30 weeks I'm going to start seeing him every 2 weeks instead of once a month. We have also started non-stress tests where they monitor the babies heart rates and movements as well as any contractions I have. My first one was on Tuesday and it went well! I'll be doing those once a week but I won't be needing to go in every 2 weeks for them to check my cervix! But I'll still continue to go once a month for them to check the babies growth. Sheesh! I don't know what I would do without my planner!
I've been pretty overwhelmed with everything lately. Not just with my pregnancy and all the appointments that come with it but also with Miles and his physical therapy. He sees his PT, Heidi, every two weeks. She comes to us for an hour to work with him and check his progress. He's doing really great! Between visits Dave and I have to stretch him daily to loosen up his muscles. A couple months ago we started putting Kinesio tape on his legs to help pull his muscles in the right position (easiest way for me to explain it) since he has a tendency to turn his toes in. He still does this but we are seeing minor improvements as time goes on. He also walks on his tip toes so that's what we are currently focused on. A few weeks ago Heidi told us that she wants us to get him in orthotics. We went to a clinic that does custom fittings and I think that this has been the hardest part for me. When she told us the type of orthotics he needed it scared me and I had to hold in my tears. I was overwhelmed with emotion and it took me some time to get used to it and except it. I had to skip out on his PT session the next day just because I knew I'd be crying the whole time. I just needed time.

It just seems like a lot of little things are happening all at once and I just need to find time to breath.

Pictures like this help, I just love him!

Oh Cheri, I can't imagine how overwhelmed you must be feeling! Even though a lot of it is good...it is still a BIG adjustment. I'll/we'll be praying for peace and stamina.
Love -L : )
