28 weeks and home

It has been a very exciting week. Monday Sean reached another major milestone by hitting 28 weeks gestation. Katie and Ryann brought another cake and helped me celebrate. Just picture the last cake with four more candles. It made my day. I'm so glad we made it. My mother-in-law arrived on Saturday. That combined with 28 weeks paroled me from the hospital. I got to come home on bed rest with a wheel chair because I now have 24-7 care. We did not tell Krystal. She came home from school and saw me sitting on the couch. It took her a minute to make sure she was seeing correctly. Her comment "Momma, when I saw you sitting there I thought I was having a day dream." will be one of my favorite sentences in my life. She then started jumping up and down dancing around. Needless to say getting her to go to school on Wednesday was a serious negotiation. She does not want to do anything without me. It's great to be home. I'm surprised how difficult it is to sit and not help, but I'm not going to risk going back to the hospital for the remainder of the pregnancy. I may be almost out of the catosrophic risk for now. The doctor told me that I'm at 2.3cm and I need to be 2.5 to be considered low-lying versus marginal. Just another month or two. We only have 11 weeks left of the pregnancy, so I will just finish this at home with any luck. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks for your support.
