After we received a couple phone calls I realized I should really update our blog with the news from our last ultrasound. We got great news. I am still on bedrest but otherwise it was the best possible news we could have received. It appears my cervix is back at 2cm which means the med/bedrest therapy appears to be working. This also means that unless something drastically changes we have avoided surgery and a amniocentesis which I am relieved about. With alot of help from all of our great friends and family we have been able to find care for Rooney 5 days a week. Mike has been able to adjust his schedule to be home a little bit more and we are getting some help in to clean and do some light housework since Mike's hand is still in a splint. Hopefully we can start spending a little time together again before 10pm! I cannot emphasis enough how wonderful everyone has been and how lucky we really feel.
Ailbe is doing great. She's starting to kick up a storm and two nights ago Mike was finally able to feel her kick for the first time. Now with Rooney and I being apart most days I am really starting to miss the little guy. Thankfully the MD also confirmed that I can go outside the house, I just have to be sitting around wherever else I go also. Yesterday I spent the day being babysat by my friend Kelly (Charlie's mom). She is also graciously watching Rooney for us 3 days a week so it was nice to be able to tag along for a day and be with my baby again. Rooney always has a great time at Charlie's and we even received a visit from Aunt Renae and Felix! Could Rooney's day have got any better?
Although Roon is my sweet baby angel I have been painfully aware of his rapid growth for quite some time but every once in awhile you see them doing something and they've aged yet another 10 years. 
The other evening Roon and I were laying on my bed (I'm sure I was trying to get some snuggle time in) but he was tired and moody so we let him watch his Leap Frog Word Factory on his Zune. I'm not sure if it was the sullen kind of mood or that Rooney was able to so easily tune me out but I really got this image of him as a teenager as he was watching this. It's a little scary now but I cannot imagine how large he is going to seem once Ailbe is born. Thank god he's potty trained!

OK, he has got the perfect teen posture there definitely, but I noticed he is also practicing his big daddy reclining pose with his pants loosened at the waist.
You look great! And you're right, Rooney's going to look like a galumph when Ailbe is born, be grateful he is potty trained!
Because you have to be sitting whenever you leave the house, does that mean you get to use the Rascals at the supermarket?
I could! I'm afraid to though. I might run someone over.
