Day 10


I have finally taken a picture of what I actually look like right now. It is from my camera phone, so it is not the most crisp, flattering shot, but it gives you an idea of the little bump I am sporting. (no worries we have asked for a digital camera for Christmas, I am thinking that we may be in need of one). Last night we had such a great night with our Free Eats Friday crew, the chili was delicious and the company was even better. I tried to remain on the couch or in one of my barstools with my feet up for the duration of the night. I am excited to report I have had minimal, I mean very minimal spotting over the last three days. I am in hopes that my two weeks can start from last Thursday. We will see on Tuesday when Dr. Butler checks on the clot and sweet baby Stout. I am really excited to see what our little one looks like now. We haven't had an ultrasound for two weeks so I am sure he/she has grown quite a bit. I did get my prenancy update this morning and it states that the baby is about two inches long!!
This morning, my baby buddy Nakada came over (looking absolutely perfect sporting a bump for two). She brought be some hot chocolate and we caught up over the past few weeks. Have a mentioned how fortunate I am to have such amazing friends?
Colin and I are going to settle in today and watch a movie and tonight I have a big night out. I get to go to church, my one outing for this past week. I have not left the house since last Saturday...so I can't wait to just go on a ride in the car!! After church we are having our friends Shane, Monica, and Aaron over for dinner (I will remain seated on the couch).
Taylor is hanging in there. She is still eating and the meds seem to be helping. Please keep praying for her and the tough decision that is in front of us. The last few nights Colin and I have had some really good cries, conversations, and loved on our beloved pet. Love you guys.

Friend, the baby bump is TOO CUTE! I think I might have the cutest pregnant friends ever! I'm so excited that you are feeling so much better! Praying for a great report on Tuesday with Dr. B! Tell him I said hello! :) I love ya!

just a note from the friend of Marie. I've been praying mightily for you and can't wait to hear from your doc that things are going great! Keep your positive attitude... it's infectious.

ps. I feel your pain with Taylor. Our sweet girl, Laci, went to Doggy Heaven in December on one of the hardest days of our lives. But I believe we'll see her again! And our oldest daughter believes Laci plays ball with God every day. ;o)
