I'm back!

Since my last update a lot has changed for the Miller Family. Once big update is we have an almost 16 month old! He is walking and talking and such a joy to have around! So quick run down... About 1 month before Lincoln's first birthday we decided it was time to start planning and thinking of having our second. We decided to start trying right away since I had my cone biopsy less then a year ago and we were prepared for it to be a long process like it was to get Lincoln. 2 weeks before Lincolns birthday I was just not feeling like myself! I took a test and there they were! Those 2 pink lines that I felt were so hard to come by when we tried for Lincoln! I was shocked! Excited, terrified, and SHOCKED! I told John in the morning who had me take another test. It was also positive! At this point I was only 3-4 weeks pregnant so we decided to keep the news to ourselves! Expect on mothers day when visiting with my in laws I got offered a beer and when I turned it down of course that raises eye brows! (what can I say? I like beer!) By Lincoln's first birthday we had told our family that baby #2 was on the way! This was on May 20th! I am about 22 weeks along now and we found out we are having another boy! His name is Bentley Matthew! So our second big change is we started house hunting! We put an offer in on a beautiful 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom home in Troutdale about 2 months ago! Everything has gone smoothly and we signed our closing documents yesterday! We should have keys on the 12th of this month! This is all so exciting to finally have a home for our family! I have been so excited to move and decorate and get this home all ready for our new edition! That brings me to the 3rd change. Recently I found out that my cone biopsy has made my pregnancy complicated. I lost 2 cm in cervical length and have been placed on bed rest until further notice due to being high risk for pre term labor. So far my check ups have shown improvement however not enough improvement to let me return to normal activity. I have had one bad day with contractions that landed me in the hospital. Luckily through all of this, Bentley has remained healthy and looks great. Our main goal is to keep him in as long as possible to ensure a healthy full term baby! This will be a challenge for my family. I am currently unable to pick up Lincoln. I am not able to lift or stay on my feet for too long. Moving into our home will be tough for my husband but we have support and help to get us in there. In the meantime I am pretty useless. I have decided to start my blog back up in order to hopefully keep me occupied through all of these changes in which I am confined to my home. I am planning on doing crafts and maybe making some good food while I am off my feet! (we will see about the food thing but maybe as time goes on I will be able to at least do that!) I appreciate everyone supporting me in this and I hope to continue to keep everyone updated as I go through this bed rest journey!
