Bed rest day 8 and 9

Sorry I didn't update yesterday.

Nothing really to report. I have just been relaxing..making bows and Jackson's hospital wreath..
I have been asked what the wreath is for... Maybe its just a southern thing but it goes on the hospital door after he is born.

Thank you Pinterest..


After months of debating on getting Maddie's birth certificate or not ( remember I was told it was going to be stamped with "DECEASED" on top) something came up and I HAD to order it. Today I went to pick it up ( no I didn't stand in line so I am following my "sit" rest rules). I sat down with the lady that was going to print it for me and I filled out all the paper work. She went back to get it and I prayed that she would not stamp it. I couldn't bare to see those words and I didn't dare tell her she was gone. I was on the verge of tears. It was the longest 5 minutes of my life. She handed me her birth certificate and the stamp was NOT there!!!!! I said thank you and literally ran ( ok walked fast) out of there. I got to my car and started bawling. There were so many mixed emotions. I am so thankful she didn't stamp it and I was so happy I finally got her birth certificate...but so sad that she is gone.

I havent really had any cramps until this afternoon. I really think that I just needed to drink more water, but I am kinda feeling yukie today. Maybe its just the weather here...its pretty gross!

I am ready for the weekend. I can't wait to spend some time with James!

Hey girl - so glad to hear that all in all it was a decent day. The wreath is beautiful! You sure are talented! Praying for you and sweet Jackson.

I have never heard of a hospital wreath. Do you hang it on the door? Also I know you've mentioned using soy isoflavones for fertility. Can you link me to the post? Or let me know how much you took and on what days?

I'm glad they didn't stamp it for you. Hang in there :)

I have prayed many times for you, Kellie. The whole birth certificate thing has always made me feel so sad. You should have that memory of her liife without the stamp on it. Maddie was there with you today. She gave you the gift of her birth certificate. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Keep Jackson baking :)

Jackson's hospital wreath looks amazing - you are such a crafty Momma! I am OVERJOYED to hear about Maddie's Birth Certificate. You deserve to have that sweet memory to cherish without her passing being thrown in your face every time you look at it. Praise God! Glad you are still doing good on the pregnancy front - hang in there Momma! Stay Strong!
Hugs from Georgia,

What a beautiful blessing not to receive the ugly stamp. Maddie's birth certificate is what it should be- the certificate of her birth

Jennifer said...

How AWESOME that the stamp wasn't there... Official proof that Maddie Bug LIVED! *hugs*

Every day is a hurdle, but you jump them with grace Kellie... Continue forward - there's a celebration to be had at the finish line.

His wreath is so cute!!!! I love it! Maybe it is a Texas thing to have a wreath, like it is for Homecoming Mums?
