Baby, bedrest and Summer

Well I think I officially STINK at blogging! I mean it's been 7 months since the last post! A LOT has happened since then!

As most everyone knows...Mr. Wright and I are expecting our first baby in September! We're so excited! We hadn't planned it but we know that the Lord certainly did and that makes this little miracle even more of a blessing. We're having a little boy! Michael Wade. We will call him Wade though! Michael is Mr. Wright and his dad's first name and Wade is my dad's first name. We thought it would be special that he be named after his daddy and both grandads!



We had SO MUCH fun telling our parents we were pregnant because it wasn't planned they we're REALLY SURPRISED and excited!! Wade will be the first grandchild for my parents so they can't wait for him to get here. Dad already has a little gun picked out for his hunting buddy!


I'm 26 weeks tomorrow and they put me on bed rest yesterday. They have been watching my cervix for about a month due to change in length. It was real short yesterday and I was having mild contractions so they told me to park it. I had two steroid shots to help his lungs develop and I am taking medicine every six hours to keep me from contracting more. Luckily they said we could finish our last three birthing classes...so that will be one outing a week and they said I could still have my baby showers so that's exciting! Right now I'm totally focused on keeping my sweet angel in my belly to cook longer.


With all that said...I'm done traveling for the summer...well until he gets here actually. My mom was really sad to think that I would be home until the end of August or Sept. I say August because they told us they are just wanting me to a least get to 34 weeks which would be some time in august. It is said to think that I won't be there for 2 or 3 months. Luckily my family is fabulous and will come visit a lot. Hope the grandparents can come some too!


Ok I think I've got the three people that even read this filled in for now! haha Since I'll be home for a while I'm sure I'll be updating a lot more. This was a long one! Here are some pictures of the day we found out we we're expecting and of our sweet angel


look at that sweet foot!I already love that sweet face!Looks like his daddy...but maybe with his Mommy's nose!

Look at those fingers!
