YAY!! This makes me so happy. How does it feel, you know, since you've never made it that far before (and neither have I)? It must feel great knowing that your baby will be alright. You should have cake to celebrate. :D
The Girl--it feels wonderful. It's amazing to see how big my belly has become--and Heidi's kicks are stronger every week. It's hard to imagine what it'd be like actually going full term!
Thinking of you as we are on bed rest together. When I was struggling with just laying around this summer and not doing all the things I wanted to do with my other children my friend brought a book by of short stories. One of the stories by Virginia Hinckley Pearce is called, "Allowing Time For Change". She talks about walking through her garden and seeing the wilted tulips and wondering what to do with them, she ends the talk with this paragraph, "I looked at the tulip leaves again, beginning to yellow and wilt, and saw them differently. I can respectfully allow them some time. In fact, I can celebrate while I wait with them. My garden will gently call to those who walk by, 'Pardon us, but good things are happening. We are gathering nourishment and preparing quietly for more glory.' " Thanks for your words of inspiration. I especially loved your posting about Priesthood blessings. You are in our prayers. -Cheryl (Matt's cousin)
this is awesome for you and your little Heidi! I'm wishing you more weeks to come. I would love to come see you--where are you at? Can't wait to hear more good news!

Cheryl, I'm sorry to hear you're on bedrest, too! Do the Doctors know why you're so sick?
Thanks for the thoughts about the flowers. Beautiful.
