Hey everyone this has been a while since I last posted a blog, but I am back on track! I have been super busy with planning on getting things from California like the crib, baby clothes, etc. Reagan has been moving a lot no matter what I am doing she is moving right along with me haha. I can be super busy walking around the store and I feel her kicking me like "mom you seriously need to stop moving haha" with my mom I have to keep on moving just following her around will make me lose weight after the baby is born.
We are getting more and more excited about Reagan's arrival and we think Rilee is going to love her little sister. Every time she see's a baby she is so curious so I am sure she will be a BIG helper!!! At 27 weeks Reagan's lungs and immune system are maturing this week as she prepares for her grand entrance. If she were born today she would have an 85 percent chance of surviving as her lungs are capable of breathing air (with medical assistance, of course). Other exciting developments: Reagan's done a lot of growing over the past few months. Her length has more than doubled in the past 15 weeks! And that's not the only thing growing—Reagan's brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace. Her brain waves are now firing away just like those of a newborn baby. She now weighs in at approximately 14 1/2 inches and just over 3 pounds, or about the size of that roast
Rilee is just being a little ham everyday!! She is doing so well and we will be setting up the kids room here soon which I am excited about does anybody have any ideas on what color I should paint to compliment both a toddler and a newborn? They are both girls so it should be fairly easy!!! The light at the end of the tunnel is growing brighter for both Larry and I. We only have 13 weeks left (give or take a couple of days), it's time to enjoy the ride because it's getting shorter.
Larry is doing really well with work he is enjoying what he does. He got is raise back which we are so grateful for and God has really provided for us! I can't believe that it has been 2 months since we moved back to Oregon and things have been working out great! I have been going to a regular women's bible study with my best friend of 15 years and friends from church and it has been fantastic. The bible study is by Beth Moore-A Beautiful Mind if anyone is looking for an impacting video to watch this is it. It will make you think.
On Saturday February 20th we got a car for relatively cheap and of course we have to do some work on it, but that is okay Larry has been letting me drive the Escape so I won't have to drive in a cold car haha. I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband who sacrifices his health so I won't freeze! Larry went to a Men's retreat on February 25-27th and had a great time and really connected with the men from church and he felt convicted so he bought me the one thing I wanted for a long time and it was my "Friends" Series DVD's so I am so happy about that!!!
All and all we have been doing fantastic and am so happy with our lives at this time and couldn't be happier!!!! Thanks so much for reading and stay tuned for the next blog love you all and God Bless.
