I am 28 weeks, 5 days pregnant today. This was the day with Austin's pregnancy that I was admitted to the hospital because of preeclampsia. Thankfully, there are no signs of a problem this time. Once Saturday comes and goes, I will be in uncharted territory since Austin was delivered at 29 weeks, 2 days gestation. We are encouraged that David Noah is thriving, though. At my doctor's appointment last Friday, he measured 2 lb 11 ounces by ultrasound. (Austin was 2 lb 8 ounces at birth.) We are trusting God to keep me and the baby healthy through the coming weeks as we deal with Austin's surgery on Monday and the recovery process that will follow for him. Please pray that I will get rest and be able to take care of baby David even as I care for our precious Austin. 
Austin already loves his baby brother. He talks to him and asks to give him hugs.

... and even kisses. He can hardly wait for his baby's arrival so he can start playing with him. We have to remind him often that baby David is too little to come out now. He has to stay inside Mommy's belly and grow. I am so excited to see how this relationship between two brothers will grow once David is born.

Congrats for making this milestone! :) I love your pictures... the ones with Austin almost made me a little teary... ssooo sweet.
Emily,
I am so glad that you are now 28 weeks and that things are looking good! We will continue to pray for both you and David and also for Austin with his upcoming surgery.
I love the sweet pictures of Austin hugging and kissing David! It's great that he is so excited about meeting him.
