27 weeks

We've made it to 27 weeks and my cervix is still fine. I'm still on casual bed rest at home, but not having to be extremely strict--doing my best to lay down/recline most of the time. After I reach 28 weeks, I'm going to increase activity a little and we'll see how my cervix responds. I'm still dealing with nausea on a daily basis. It's not terrible, but requires medicine to feel good and keep from throwing up. I'll attempt to discontinue the meds after I'm 28 weeks. Baby seems to be growing right on track and I'm feeling it move around a ton!

A few pregnancy memories:
--We waited until I was about 13 weeks to share with Perry and Mills that I was pregnant. I knew once we told Perry, anyone could potentially find out, so I wanted to wait until I was ready for that! I will never forget Perry's reaction to the news. We sat him down and told him we wanted to tell him something important. He was all ears and even looked a little concerned. I said "Perry, Mommy went to the doctor and found out why my tummy has been hurting so much." (b/c he knew how sick I had been and was always telling me "Mommy, I'm sorry you don't feel good." How sweet is he?!?) He said "WHY?" When I told him it's because I have a baby in my tummy, his eyes got sooooo big and he immediately gasped, then smiled. It was one of the most special moments. I loved how excited and truly amazed he was. He had been asking for another baby, and occasionally praying about it, so I know it was special to him too. 

--Early on, Perry was asking lots of questions about how the baby got in my tummy and how it will get out. The funniest/cutest was how concerned he was that the baby would "break me open." I guess he was envisioning the baby just busting out of my tummy. I did my best to explain that God made mommies with a special passageway for baby to come out, but he didn't accept that since he "couldn't see it." I ended up telling him the doctor will handle it all and it will be ok!

--Perry and Mills both love talking to the baby and giving my tummy kisses.
