Hello bedrest,.. you witch! >:O

Well.. Today didn't go so swell. I prayed so hard for a miracle... And although this wasn't what I had in mind, I'm sure is still in gods plans!
Jai looks great- getting plump! He no longer has alien, skeleton features.. More like a little Danford!
He however is trying to come out far to early! My cervix from the inside is funneling. The mass is still there & i am having hydronephrosis, which in addition to contractions, the reason for back pain.
After the ultrasound, he did a pelvic check to see is I was dilating from the bottom. Sadly, I am fingertip-1cm. :( I didn't see this coming for a long shot.. I'm bed ridden until further notice! Also at 24 weeks I'll be getting steroid shots, to help jai's lungs develop!
All I can ask is for plenty prayer! I need to keep him in as long as possible!! Please please pray!

veggie tales & Jai's room!

wow! we have been seriously doing so muchh! Last Thursday we went to Veggie tales live with Cherish & Avery! It was so much fun for me to just watch Julian smile & laugh watching them! I thought he was going to jump out of his skin when they started playing the theme song!

The next day we headed to this AWESOME consignment store where i got Jai 12 (like)new outfits! :) got his crib all loaded up... then headed home!

On Saturday we fiddled around the house & worked in Jai's room a good bit. There are still some things to be done.. so it's not complete.. however I'm really excited with the progress!

Picture below was before i put his valance on the window...

 then Uncle Jake & Aunt Angela came to visit us on Sunday! I was in horrid pain all night & all day yesterday. Something with my lower back. ( not your typical prego pains, trust me... i was in tears!)
After spending the day in agony- i finally called my doc to see what pain meds i could take( i don't do pain meds normally).. He instructed me to head to the ER.. but i didn't listen. when he called to REcheck on me he supported my choice to stay home & told me to move my appointment from Wednesday- up to today. He is going to check me for a bladder infection and few other things before diagnosing me with something & give me a pain medicine. They will also be doing a ultrasound to check the ' unknown' .. and seeing about referring me to a Fetal Maternal Specialist...-( ill update on this topic after my 1:30 appointment today!)
Anyways.. Jake Angela, Ju & Josh slip & slided in our back yard for a while, then headed to the beach. I stayed in bed...
When they got back i had rested some & was ready to eat- after not eating all day! so Josh started whippin up the baby on the grill! :) yum!
Jake and Angela also brought Jai a changing table!!! I didn't have one for Ju but always wanted one!.. so here it is.... Just want to paint it white to match the rest of the room. But i will do that later!

Jai's room is almost complete. Just need to hang shelves, do some arts & crafty things for his walls.. get his rug, and touch up the pain on the ceiling(oopsy from daddy..lol)
