Baby Update

We heard words today we thought we'd never hear. "Your cervix is very soft, and I'd say you are 1 cm dilated." What!? Wow! Baby and I are doing so well that it looks like we're back on track for a normal, scheduled c-section (7-10 days before due date). But, of course, I could actually go into labor first... Wow, this waiting stuff is crazy!

I think baby girl Feitl has a name waiting for her now. Any guesses?

Happy New Year!

I guess you know you are getting old when your New Year's Eve celebration used to be Monopoly until 2:00am, but this year was Jr. Monopoly until 7:30pm and in bed by 10:00pm hoping to see the ball drop at 11:00pm in New York. Kids do change everything :)

Merry Christmas!

New nightgown that Grandma LaRue made.

Sydney's new Leapster. The best babysitter ever!

Sydney all dressed up for the ball.

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with friends and a quiet Christmas Day with just the three of us. Sydney really understood Santa and gifts and everything for the first time this year, so it was incredibly fun and exciting. She decorated our tree and a good part of our house this year with all the great things she made with friends who have been caring for her.
We are blessed!

This is life in the Feitl house with mommy on bed rest. Art, crafts, games, animals, TV watching, etc. all take place from the bed or couch. It's a party!

Baby Adventures

Today is week 29 and 5 days in the pregnancy. After a number of days of high blood pressure and significant protein showing up in Carrie's urine she has been placed on bed rest. We hope this will slow the process of what we believe to be preeclampsia again. She is not allowed out of bed except to eat and go potty.
