Well, I’ve had one doctors appointment since my last update. Kadence is stable!! My cervix is holding it’s own and the contractions are now under control w/ the help of some medicine. We are 22 weeks along this week! The doctor really wants us to get to 28 weeks, so that’s our first milestone, but we’ll all breath easier if we can get to 32 weeks! I will go back to the doctor next week to check on Kadence’s growth. As of now she weighs about 1 pound! She is very active in my belly, especially at night when I’m trying to sleep. I can already tell that she’s taking after her older brother. We’re thinking of naming her Kadence Sidney… anyone have any comments on that name? We’re set on the first name, but unsure of the middle name at this point.
By now everyone should know that we’re moving. Rob will start Warrant Officer school in Quantico, VA in February, so Damian and I will be going to live with my Dad and step-mom in Pennsylvania while he’s away at school. The first school lasts about 3 months, and then he’ll transfer to Aberdeen, MD for about 2 more months. Living at dads will put Damian and I about 2 hours away from Rob, so hopefully he’ll be able to come visit on the weekends, and maybe get to see his daughter be born. As you’ll remember, he missed Damian’s birth due to being in Iraq… Damian was 5 months old when Rob met him. So we’re really hoping he can be there for this birth.
One last note, I will be remodeling this website in the next few months, to prepare for the addition of Kadence! Keep checking back to see the new look!
