Baby B: 28 weeks

Well...28 weeks brings a little more change than the previous posts.  Let's see...last weekend I started feeling uncomfortable/having some contractions.  I rested a lot, drank some water and they stopped.  This past Thursday I had my checkup with Dr. E.  Bailey is looking great, her heartbeat was 157-160, and I am measuring 30 weeks.  But, because of everything going on, he put me on "pre-modified" bed rest. He said this is our way of avoiding full and or/hospital bed rest. Basically I have to lay down several times a day for an hour or so, and take it easier on things around/outside of the house.  On an exciting note, we had our 3D sono on Saturday and got to see pictures and video of our sweet Bailey girl! Please join us in praying that my body cooperates and that I do not have to go on bed rest!
