Update time! Life keeps getting better

So last Wednesday the 27th I had my check up to see if the abruption in the placenta was healing.  It looked like it was starting to heal!  Such good news.  My cervix was even shorter but still within where the doctor wanted it so he wasn't worried about it.  A little scary that with in 2 weeks it is half the length it was.  I hope he wasn't just acting not worried so I wouldn't be worried.  I am trying my best to pray and stay strong.  I still have such peace that little Rylend boy will be just fine and make it much longer.  He is going to be so healthy and a great little boy.  I can't wait to meet him, but I can wait for him to grow stonger ;)  
I have started to feeling him kick quite a bit more this week, which is awesome!  I love feeling him move around. Not only is it super reassuring he is doing good but a big realization there is really a baby in my belly!  I know I know not like this is new news but I don't know how else to explain it.  Just makes it real!  I so looking forward to being a mom to this wonderful gift from God my little boy!
My doctor put me on "modified" bed rest for more than likely the rest of my pregnancy.  I am okay with it because I at least get to move more and all that really matters is I am doing what is best for Rylend.  I am still working on what modified means for me.  Doctor doesn't want me over doing it but says to just get up with I absolutely need to.  The first few days I over did it I think because I was so excited to get off my bum.  I am getting better and better at it.  I think I might just have it down.  So now just praying he stays put.  The doctor also told me to celebrate every week father we make it.  He said at 24 weeks Rylend is now viable and could possible live outside the womb.  It is only 5% chance.  At 26 weeks it is 50% chance, 28 weeks is 85% chance, and 32 weeks is 98%.  So needless to say he wants to see us make it to at least 32 weeks.  I am praying for even longer.  Like I've said before I have a lot of peace that he is gonna make it father if not full term.  I just know God has wonderful plans for Rylend's life!  Thank you Lord for the life of this child and all the blessings we have had lately!
