Update

This may be the last "Three Supplees" update...we need to think of another name for our new addition to the family (suggestions welcome as I can't think of anything catching)!

It's been about a month since I've been on bedrest. I've been in the hospital with threatened pre-term labor 3 times, totaling about 2.5 weeks in the last month. I am on medication that is keeping me from contracting, and will discontinue the medication a week from today  (I'll be 35 weeks and 3 days at that point). I was on this same medication when all this same preterm issues with Landry. Landry was born 26 hours after I stopped the meds. So, if history repeats itself, Grady may be born middle of next week!

Being on bedrest is hard for a busy body like me, but its been even harder on my main support team who picks up the slack every day...Jeff, my Mom and my Dad. We've been showered with love, prayers and delicious food from family and friends as well. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!!

Without further delay, here are some recent pictures to share. Next time, there should be some with Grady!

First time he got up on the chair himself.

He likes to stick his toung out although its not in defiance (yet).

One of Landry's visits in the hospital. After the first 5 seconds, he really didn't care too much to see me as there were too many new things to look at.

Playing outside. He was fascinated as he watched the trickle of water run ALL the way down the driveway.

Loves to play with "bubbles", which is now just the container filled with water since he dumps it out or spills it, and of course we have to refill it...several times...even when its already full... because he knows we fill the container from the garage sink so he goes to the garage sink, holds up the container and rubs his belly with excitement (rubbing belly is sign language for please). His pot belly really shows in this picture :)
Standing in the infant tub.

He's using his nebulizer (uses it when he has a cough)...this was just a funny picture, like he just took a hit off it or something.

A picture with Aunt Court.


Landry and Jeff playing.
Landry is so fond of Jeff and it has only grown more since I've been away in the hospital or laid up at home. He wants to do everything Jeff does.

Landry "winking".


Belly picture from last week (34 weeks). Its estimated Grady is about 5 lbs now, based on the last sonogram.
