Here is our sweet little guy today! Every time I go in to the specialist, I am given a dvd that captured the sonogram live! It was so amazing to watch him open his mouth for us and show us different angles of his little face. This technology simply amazes me and I am grateful to be able to get such great care.
More good news to report in that the little one is now growing at a normal rate! The bedrest is working as the Dr. had hoped and was very positive today that things should stay going well- Yay!!!
I am to continue on 6 hours/ day bedrest for the next 3 weeks, since this is working so well. The Dr. said it might be my "magic formula" for a healthy baby- but we know there is more to it than that! Our great God is the author of life and is creating this tiny person as He sees fit! He is so gracious to us and we give Him all the praise for the health of our children.
I have had an increase in the intensity of my daily contractions, but so far the specialist isn't super concerned about them. I go in to my regular OB tomorrow ( the famous Dr. Frields) and will see what he says about the contractions. But the consensus seems to be that if they aren't doing anything besides causing some minor discomfort, than we aren't to worry :)
We thank you all for your prayers and help during this time! It has been humbling for me to again hand over my wifely and mommy duties, but it has been a joy to see how the body of Christ works together...we are so blessed by you all!

I'm so glad you keep posting your status & I'm happy to know the baby's looking good! I'm sure you're appreciating every extra healthy minute that much more than you ever could have, had everything been "typical." Trials can make us so much more grateful! I'm encouraged by your testimony as a fellow mom in Christ!
We are so thrilled this little one is doing great!!! We can't wait to squeeze him!! We love you all so much!!!
