Update on paci!

Well- we are proud to report that Owen hasn't used his Paci in 12 days. Sometimes he asks about it and it breaks our heart however we know that this is for the best and are so proud that he was sooo easily weaned after having it daily for 2 1/2 years. He continues to amaze us with his easy going personality. We love him sooooo much!

I have had a rough week. Started with some lower right back pain exactly one week ago and went to the doctor last Monday. The doctor did an ultrasound and said that everything with the baby looked good and didn't think that the pain was related to the baby.

Fast forward to Thursday afternoon when I thought I would do my best to help Kris out and decided to load and unload the dishwasher and do a load of laundry. After I brought the laundry downstairs something happened that landed me in a laying position on the landing of our stairs. I couldn't move for about 40 minutes. I was home alone and both scared and in severe pain. I finally got a hold of my parents who came over and helped me out. The pain didn't ease up so I ended up going to Triage to find out what was going on. Again I was reassured that this was not caused from the baby and they ruled out bladder/kidney infection, etc.

The doctor assumes that it is muscle pain/spasms and sent me home and encouraged me to start some physical therapy in the coming week.

The little fighter of ours continues to do well and as far as I know continues to grow at a normal pace. I will meet with the Peri again next Monday for another appt. to get an update on baby and my hemorrhages. I am praying that they will have disappeared since I was last scanned.

Kris and I finally agreed on a name for our sweet new little baby boy!

Wyatt Daniel Young.........Wyatt means "brave little warrior" and Daniel is symbolic for two reasons, first and most importantly it was the name of Kris' grandpa who passed away before Owen was born, and secondly it means "God is my judge". We wanted this baby to have a strong name but also a very meaningful name as we certainly do feel that he is our little blessing from God and that he is a fighter and very brave for all that he has been through.

We know that we aren't out of the woods yet as next week he will merely be viable but we pray that he won't make his appearance until at least 37 weeks at the earliest.

Thank you for continuing to pray for our family. We are certainly seeing the answer to prayer everyday and know that God continues to heal my body and will continue to let this little boy be a fighter.
