28 weeks :)

Today, I am 28 weeks pregnant! I feel like I am so blessed, and today, all I can do is smile and thank God he has gotten us this far. I still have 12 weeks left, and continue to pray for a healthy pregnancy. I had an OB appointment on Monday, and I will probably be placed back on bed rest because of my blood pressure, but the medicine has help me to keep it down, so that is good. In 9 weeks, Bradyn will be considered full term...which means if he were to come then, he would be healthy, and he would be born on August 28...which is my moms birthday...I would love that!!!

Today we picked up the crib and dresser. I cant wait for it to be put together and in the room, but we have to finish the room first. We had a water damage during Tropical Storm Fay, that we did not catch, because we never went into the room. When we discovered there was water in there, it was probably 3 days later. We were able to lift the carpet and clean the cement...my sister owns a restoration/carpet cleaning company in Michigan, and I have spent a lot of summers helping her, so I knew some things to do. When I called some companies around here to get the carpet clean, they were backed up for a month, so we just bought our own....well, the stain that was caused by the tv stand is still there. So, now we are trying to figure out what to do. Bob wants to just tear the carpet out and put a wood floor in. That would be nice, but then we need to get a rug, and gosh, those are expensive. Anyways, we need to figure that out before the rest of the room is finished...something with the height of the wainscotting. So, pictures wont be up until there is a picture of Bradyn sleeping so nicely in his crib :)

Ok, mommys out there...what monitors do you have? We are trying to figure out if we need the video or not...and what brands work well? Thanks for all the help and the prayers...they mean the world to us :)

Hey Jen. We have the Sony monitor from Toys-R-Us. I looked at the video monitors but they were expensive. A friend of mine had the Sony and recommended it to me. I also went online and looked at the reviews people gave. Alot of them had not so good reviews. We've been using it for the past 15 months and have not had any problems with it...we love it!

In the beginning, we kept Madison in our room in a cradle next to our bed. I felt better having her near me. Once we got past that initial fear of her being away from us ("what if she isn't breathing?!?") then we started putting her in her own room in her crib. We started with daytime naps first and then put her in at night. We definitely noticed she sleeps better in her own room.
