We are so close to our first goal of 28 weeks!!! I can't believe it's been over 4 weeks since I was admitted, wow! I can thankfully say that looking back it has not felt like 4 weeks, so hopefully the next 4-8 weeks will fly by just as fast!! We had our sonogram yesterday first thing in the morning. Matt was able to be here to go with me before going to work, which was great!! It was a really fun sonogram to see how much the girls have changed. Miss Cooper has flipped back head-down again. She is definitely content and confident to have secured her position to be the first one out! I just need her to keep her head-down when it's time to deliver!! We were still able to see her and get a sweet profile shot (just barely), but the way she is turned we couldn't see her face too much. She is measuring at approximately 2 lbs 5 oz as of yesterday! Conley has her head up high in between my ribs, so she is still breach for now. We even got to see her open her mouth wide as if she yawned....so cool!! Her feet are way over on my right side, so that is a lot of fun when she gets to moving. I call her the cheerleader since I constantly feel her kicking. Matt said, "that's not fair to play favorites already and call Conley the cheerleader and Cooper the band nerd!" OK, first of all, I never called Cooper a band nerd, and second, there is nothing wrong with EITHER of them wanting to be in band someday....he still likes to give me a hard time! No matter what he says, I think he loved the way that I looked in my concert suit and bow tie :-) ... and probably even my hat and feather when marching ... I think that's how I won him over ;-)! Anyways, Miss Conley is measuring at approximately 2 lbs 12 oz! I asked him if their sizes were good, and he called them Big and Bigger, we are happy with that! Hopefully at our next appointment (on Wed in two more weeks) they will be close to, or over, 3 lbs!!!
Thank you God for this time for Cooper and Conley to grow bigger and stronger!! We are so thankful that you have given them the last 4 weeks to grow so much and make it safely to 28 weeks! We know that your protective hand is over them always.

I love your website with the song and the scripture today is one of my favorites. Congratulations on 28 weeks! God is so good. He is always here and never leaves our side. I know he has angels surrounding you and your babies. And there are angels with Matt and Campbell as they wait for their Mommy and girls to come home. Four weeks to go......whew, not very long!
Missy I am BEYOND excited! Isn't it funny how we can think of 3 pounds as being big but considering the circumstances that is INCREDIBLE! Due in large part to your perserverence on bedrest! Cracking up at the whole band nerd/cheerleader discussion!! Taking meatballs to matt today and thinking of you!
28 weeks is HERE!!! God is SO GOOD!
