A Shower and A Surprise

I am almost 28 weeks along now, with nothing really noteworthy to report. I am feeling pretty good overall except the occasional back ache and cramping. All is well on the homefront!

We had a baby shower at our house for our good friends Mari and Dustin on Sunday. We had a great turnout and some good food! There was 4 of us girls that helped host it, everyone brought something different...so we had a lot of food/drinks to choose from. Tara made an incredible diaper cake from cloth diapers! They got a lot of good loot for the little one on the way. They are expecting a boy in early November...

Or so we thought. I got a text message yesterday after work that Mari's water broke at 2:00 in the morning. They had been at the hospital all day trying to stop the labor and make sure the baby was OK. They gave her several doses of steroids to help the baby's lungs to develop and to stop the labor. She is a good two months early and baby weighs 3 pounds 5 ounces as of now. All is going well now and now it's just a waiting game. Mari will stay in the hospital until she has the little guy, which could be days or weeks. There is no doubt that he will be early though, just don't know how early. I went up to the hospital last night and everyone is doing fine. Please keep Mari, Dustin and baby boy Phillips in your prayers!

Here are some pictures from the shower on Sunday, it was a great time!

Thanks for putting up the pics Katie! We did have a great time, thanks again for pulling off such a great shower. And more than that, for your prayers and love while we're up here in the hospital--things are really going well and I appreciate you guys very much. Looking forward to having all these babies around! :)
