Bedding!! Hooray!

I finally picked and ORDERED the bedding for Blain's room. Above is a picture of the bedding. However, the bumper will be blue with chocolate piping. He is going to have a white crib. I have yet to pick that out, because I would prefer to see it in person. (all of my shopping thus far has been done online.

Below is a picture of the moses basket and stand that will be in our room. Of course I am not putting my little boy in a bed of pink. So, if you scroll down you will see the moses basket for a boy. I can just see that precious baby sleeping and having sweet dreams in this little basket. There is just something so symbolic about putting Blain in a "Moses" basket. He and we have been on a long journey to meeting eachother... as Moses was to meet his loving mother. :)

Isn't it just precious!! The only thing that's missing is a sleeping bundle of joy.

Baby Blain at 22 Weeks!

As you can see, we saw our precious baby boy yesterday. He was unusually sleepy. Our little mover and shaker just did not want to perform. That's ok, he is still the most precious baby in the world. He is also a big boy. He weighs approx. 1 lb and 5 oz. He is in the 66 percentile for size!!! Oh boy! Everything looks great with his development. Phillip asked "is he still a boy?" When she looked at that area...Phillip said "yep, definitely a Boy!!! " :) We had a great visit. As far as my prognosis, the placenta has not moved. I am still on the same (if not a little more) restrictions. Dr. Chern says that home and rest are the right things for myself and baby Blaine. We will just do as instructed. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. Without God's grace, Blaine would not exist. Please keep praying for us. Love, Phillip, Amber, and Blaine

By the way, we did get a video of the ultrasound. It is in DVD format, and I can't get it to upload to the computer or to Youtube. I will try to film it w/ my video camera and see how it looks. Then upload it to the site.

My Girl is Pregnant!

I am so happy to share this experience with my girl Angela. She is so special to me, and I know she will be a fantastic Mommy. Please pray for her baby as well. We are both so excited to be 1st time moms. I love you Angie...pieces!

Just Me and the GIRLS!!!

My bestest friends from college came to see me on Saturday. It just happened to work out that they were all available and in town at the same time. God has a very special way of making things work out like that :) . They spent the afternoon at my house (since I can't go anywhere) and dragged me outside for a quick photo. It was so good to see them. They are such amazing women. Jen is getting married in Feb. She will make a beautiful beaming bride. Also, I love her "Suri" haircut. One of these girls, besides me, is pregnant. However, I haven't asked if I can share her news w/ the world. So, I am not revealing her identity. I can just say...she will make an amazing mommy to that baby! I am so excited to have a photographer friend. Rachel now owns her own photography business. She named it Lilac Hill Photography. She is amazing at her work. I can't wait to see them again. I do love my girls.

The baby is doing great. As you can see in the pictures, he is GROWING! He kicks and flips all the time. I love to feel him move. The other night, Phillip was curious if he could hear him. He put his ear to my belly, Blain kicked right where his ear was. It was so funny to see the look on Phillip's face.

We have another ultrasound tomorrow and are hoping for good news. We also can't wait to see our little guy. We love him so much.
