Doctor Appointment Update, I saw the doctor on Monday, Feb 8th and the report was unchanged, which is good. Cervix is the same and back in two weeks, Feb 22nd. I am now 30 weeks, so when I see the doctor again I will be 32 weeks.

I am gaining confidence now, but still not doing anything that I should not be. Even if I was not on bed rest, this is the time when pregnancy becomes drawn out. I am ready to meet my little guy, but he needs to bake just a bit longer.

He moves so much now and sometimes he will poke me with his foot or hand. This is the fun time because I laugh or smile when he pokes out an extremity and I put my hand on it. He is most active at night, from about 11pm to 2am, I sure hope he changes that pattern. The good thing is that I can't sleep during those hours, so at least I am awake anyway.

I am having a hard time picking a name, I keep changing my mind. I think I will come up with a few and post them and see what everyone thinks.

Please continue to pray for "little man", as much as I am frustrated and DO NOT want to be on bed rest anymore, I want what is best for him and that is 36 to 37 weeks. So 6 or 7 more weeks to go.

Thanks for reading. Next I am going to post Katie's birth story. I am late, and I know I have one good friend who is waiting on it. After that I will do Bryan and Patrick and I look forward to printing them and making a little keepsake for them.

Oh just a note! My brother P.J. is finally a Daddy! Victoria Nicole LaMonica is here and I am finally an AUNT! (to all my nieces and nephews through marriage, I love you too) and my cousin Kathy is soon to be a Mommy she is due at the end of this month. My brother and I will have babies about 2 1/2 months apart which will be nice for the cousins!

Talk to you all soon!
