2 Nights without our sweet boy:(


For the first time since Noah was born, I had to be away from my sweet boy for 2 nights:( I was very depressed and did a lot of crying, but I'm very thankful that he was with his Mammaw and Papaw having a blast! I even called to talk to him last night, and he said he didn't want to talk to me because he was busy playing ball with Papaw. I am so very thankful that my parents are willing and able to keep him for us when we need their help. I hope that we don't have to ask them to keep him for us anymore under these circumstances, and the pregnancy continues to go good. Just to keep you all updated in my pregnancy...we had a scare Saturday evening that continued into Sunday morning. I was having a mild amount of spotting, so I called the Nurse thru our insurance company to see what I should do in this situation. The Nurse advised me to go to the Hospital to get checked out to make sure I wasn't going into pre-term labor. Of course, I got very upset. I hung up the phone and asked Curtis to take me to the Hospital. I cried on the way to the hospital, once I got
to the hospital, and when I called my mom to let her know I was OK at the end. This was crying due to me worrying about my sweet twin boys and their safety and health. As a mommy, all I want is to protect them, and at this point in time, it was out of my hands. That is not a feeling I want to experience again! When we arrived at the hospital they plugged me up to some monitors to see if I was having any contractions, which I wasn't. They then decided to give me an ultrasound to check the babies and me. Everything turned out great, and they released me to go home.
They did tell me to get a lot of rest, no heavy lifting (this one is hard,
because I'm not allowed to lift Noah at all anymore, but I'm following instructions), and to keep my next Dr. Appointment. They said this
is normal, and I will probably experience it more the further along I get in my pregnancy. We will keep you all posted.
Now you know why my parents offered to keep Noah for us for 2 nights. A very special thank you goes out to my parents for helping us during this time. I didn't want to do this, but I knew that I needed the rest. I was so happy to see him come home from daycare today. He ran up to me giving me the biggest hug ever! It was so funny last night, because as Curtis and I were sitting around it just didn't feel right. I laughed and told him how weird it was that this used to be our life at one time, and now it just felt so wrong! He agreed and then we started talking about Noah!! Our life revolves around one very sweet growing boy, which will soon (we hope not too soon though) include 2 other very sweet baby boys:) We love it:)
Our little family is complete again tonight, so we are all very happy here in the Moss household! I am very thankful for our family, and all of the support Curtis and I are receiving throughout my pregnancy. I'm going to end this so I can go spend some more time with Noah before Daddy gives him his bath.

We are having......

I'm sure that most of you already know this, but I thought I would post a blog to announce what new sweet additions we will be having in the Moss family, once the twins are born. We went for our Ultrasound on Monday, and found out we are having twin BOYS! I have to admit that we were shocked when we found out the big news, because we thought for sure that we were having girls this time around, but we are still super happy with the news! We are looking forward to all of the exciting years ahead we have with our house full of little boys running around:)
The ultrasound also showed us that so far in the pregnancy the twins are doing great, so we couldn't ask for more. They are both growing great, and they both weigh 10 ounces at the rate of being 19 weeks and 1 day old,
which is what they are exactly! Everything is developing the way it should
within them both, so it was great news all around for them! They were not scared at all to be on camera, because they were very active the entire ultrasound. They put on a good show for us all.. I wonder who they get that from? We were also very happy to hear that they were able to see by performing the Ultrasound that as of right now, it looks like I should not experience pre-term labor. Now this can change down the road, but we are just very happy that it looks good as of right now. We will just continue to pray that we keep having good appointments like we had this week.
A question that everyone has been asking us is if we have names picked out yet, and the answer is yes. We have had names picked out for a while, but
they have changed a couple of times along the way. Please don't hold us to these, because they could
change again, but we think these are the ones we are sticking with for good. The first born will be named Adam Jacob Moss, and the second born will be named Cody Matthew Moss. Noah is already practicing saying his brothers names, which is adorable all on its own. Noah also got to watch the ultrasound video, and he just sat there in shock, especially when he heard the heart beats:) Very cute!!
We are very excited about our family growing. 3 Boys in the Moss family=triple the love!! We are getting mixed emotions when we tell people that we are having boys again. A lot of people keep telling us we are going to have our hands full with boys too. We know that we are going to have our hands full, but it wouldn't matter if they were girls or boys that would still be the case. We are going to be fine, and we are only focusing on all the Positive things! When I think of raising 3 little boys, it warms my heart. 3 boys that will one day be true gentlemen in this crazy world we live in:) Can you tell I'm already one very proud mama? They also have one very proud and excited daddy!
