No News is Good News

It's been a while since my last post. We had another apt yesterday. Layla's heartbeat was 165 (usually 150). Our Dr. said she was happy & moving around a lot. I have been able to feel her more lately, which has been great! I am measuring at 28 weeks this week. As I said in the last post, nobody knows what I'm 'supposed' to be.

Our big apt is next Tuesday, Oct 4th. It is a 26 week ultrasound, meeting with our specialist, and a meeting with a NICU Dr. We've been trying to prepare for this apt this past week, discussing how we want everything to be handled after she is born. It's hard to think about, but it has to be done/planned.

It's been so hard to not buy anything! I have gotten a few things that I can't wait to see our precious Layla Faith in. Take a peek:

These are both really meaningful. I bought the "Angel Dress" at BabyGap with 

tear-filled eyes right after we got the diagnosis for Layla. The blanket was knit 

by my future sister-in-law, Staci. It's perfect. To me, it looks like Layla. 

This is a preemie outfit with a cute hat. 

You can't go wrong with Target. Kylie & I saw this preemie set the other day & couldn't pass it up. Just for comparison, I put a cd case in there. It's pretty tiny! I love that it's bright & bubbly. 

On a different topic, we had a great weekend! Adam & Staci came to visit on Saturday. We enjoyed the farmer's market in the rain and making squash soup & cookies all afternoon. Sunday, we went to Stevens Point (drove in the pouring rain, of course) for Rosalie's 2nd Birthday party! It was so great to see everyone & have the day to relax. 

The squash Staci got from the farmer's market. 

Thank you to everyone who reads this blog! I've been so surprised to receive emails and comments from people that I don't even know who have been touched by some of my posts. Thank you to those of you who have sent cards, watched Kylie, come to apts, listen to me talk about Layla, and so on. I appreciate the encouragement and support. We've had some people say, "if there's anything we can do...". There's isn't a lot to do right now besides PRAY and be here for us. You all are doing that, so THANK YOU!
