Thank you to everyone who left comments wishing Kaily a Happy Birthday. It was wonderful to know that so many people were remembering us on that day. We went to my parents' house for dinner and afterward we had a birthday cake for her that my sister made. I wished all day that things were different, that we could have been watching her squish the cake between her little fingers and make a mess all over her face. My mom lit a candle for me to blow out for her. I only had one wish to make, which I have no doubt you can guess what that wish was. It was for her sister...I can't believe we made it this far! We have been waiting since the placement of my cerclage to get to 28 weeks. Dorothy has a 90% chance of survival and it only keeps going up from here. For some reason it is still hard to get through my head that we will be bringing home a baby in a couple of months. It seems unreal. It also seems unreal that I have been on bedrest for 15 weeks now. We are now about 9 weeks away from cerclage removal. NINE WEEKS and we could have a baby in our arms. Oh, how I want to hold her; the time just can't go by fast enough.
I want more than anything else for her to be here, to be healthy, to be strong... not to mention adorable, kissable and cuddly! Sometime in the next few days I will be watching my nephew be born and in some ways it is hard not knowing the future of what will be with Dorothy. Odds are at this point that she will be healthy, but my mind still wanders to all those things that could go wrong (as much as I try not to think about those things). Something tells me there will always be something I could worry about, though!~~~~~~~

YEA!! Today is the day! To God be the glory!
Congrats on making it to 28 weeks! I hope the rest of your pregnancy will just fly by. You'll have your precious daughter in your arms before you know it. By the way, you make such a beautiful pregnant lady!
After this, every day she can stay inside is a blessing, and every day on bed rest gets tougher. Like I said, I am here for you.
Yay! 28 weeks!
Look at that beautiful mommy!!! You look so proud. You should be! You've been working hard making it this far. Keep up the hard work - it is so worth it in the long run. I'm so happy for you!

Everyone is already saying it, but I have to add it too. Yay for 28 weeks! You have reached quite a milestone. You are also probably about to go nuts from being on bedrest for so long. Hang in there!
You look fantastic and are really glowy. Congrats on making it to 28 weeks. I am so happy for you and David. It won't be long now!
congrats on 28 weeks. I know I am just a few weeks ahead, but I have felt MUCH better since the 28 week mark. I hope we both continue to do well!
