Heather's Baby Shower

Heather's baby shower is on Saturday at 2pm. It will be at her in laws house. 560 Bastanchury in Henderson. We'd love to see you there. She is still hanging in there. She was 32 weeks on Tuesday.

St George

We got a chance to get out of dodge this weekend and go up to St George for a little bit of rest and relaxation. We had so much fun!

The doctors were able to stop Heather's contractions Thursday with medication. After 24 hours of no contractions the doctors sent her home on bed rest. The FFN test came back positive, though. We are still praying she can keep the baby in as long as she can. She will be 31 weeks on Tuesday.

Heather Update

Heather saw the Maternal-Fetal specialist this Monday. The news was a little bit alarming. Her cervix shortened by 3.5 cms. That isn't good. I feel so sorry for Heather, bless her heart. The doctor put her on procardia to keep her from going in to labor. This is a medication that is usually used for cardiac issues. It makes Heather feel dizzy and tired. She is also on progesterone to maintain the pregnancy. And, finally, the doctor is going to put her on steroids to help the baby's lungs develop. She is now at 28 weeks and 2 days. She delivered Silas at 28 weeks, 4 days. We are all trying to give her as much encouragement as we can. I can see in her eyes that she is scared and I wish so much that I could take that fear away. Please keep Heather and the baby in your prayers.

Donny and Marie!!

Amber got Donny and Marie tickets for her birthday from her in-laws and she took me with her to see the show! It was awesome!! We were both so excited! Am is so cute, you wouldn't think that someone her age would be an Osmond fan, but she is. I think all of the years of listening to how much I love them just rubbed off on her!! It was a wonderful experience that Amber and I will always remember. Thanks so much Scott and Linda!
