Pretty little baby....such a cute face already

So peaceful....hope she stays like that. Haha. Wishful thinking I know

Her nose looks like a little piggy....but, she does love to eat

Some put their foot in their mouth...she puts her foot in her eye....silly girl :-)

We had an OB visit at my doctors/work yesterday. Nate & I were extremely nervous & just hoping we wouldn't have to go to the hospital this week.

Our doctor, Dr. Holbrook, did another FFN (Fetal Fybronectin) test which the results will be in today to see if we have any chance of delivering in the next 2 weeks. Then we had a cervical length ultrasound...we measured at 3.8 & then when we added pressure by pushing it was at a 3.0!!! We were very excited...so far everything was fabulous. The NST machine showed no contractions & Dr. Holbrook looked over all of the results from our appointment & told Nate to "take your wife to work, she deserves it." So, like any wonderful husband would do...we went to lunch :-)

We decided to eat at Garrett's Restaurant...he could hit some golf balls & I could eat their delicious food. We are to return weekly for an ultrasound & a FFN test. We no longer need to have an NST (non-stress test) since we are doing the home monitoring.

Over the weekend we moved into my parents house while they were in WI at their cabin. I didn't want to sit at home & worry whether or not I'm contracting. Also, with the new medication I'm on I just had to have some reassurance. It was nice having all my girlfriends stop by...Nicole & Ang came over Friday, Katy came over Saturday & Dena visited on Sunday :-) I have the best girlfriends!!! We are very thankful that my parents let us move in, but we are happy to be back in our home.

AT&T came this morning to install a phone line & we are in business with my new monitor. We've already monitored this morning & it seems to be working correctly. It was very frustrating for Nate over the weekend that he couldn't just install the phone line (he works for Verizon for a living), but it would be illegal & we don't need any more problems. ;-)

Our new home phone # is (815)282-0225. We will probably not have the phone once Jordan is allowed to arrive, but if you need to chat or get a hold of us for the next 3 months you have a new number to call.

Thanks for all the prayers, thoughts & support from all of our family & friends.
Love xoxoxox,
