23 and 24 Weeks

I had my last ObGyn appointment last Tuesday and we discussed some options for Peabody since we had expressed a little concern in Grayson's preterm delivery.  We have not had any 'scares' or indications that this pregnancy will result in the same, but a previous preterm birth is a risk factor. We decided that I would go in for steroid shots during my 24th week (1 a day for 2 days in a row) that will result in maturing the baby's lungs as a preventative measure.  Grayson was with us and we had told him that he would get to hear baby brother's heartbeat, but the Dr. made it even more special by letting Gray be his little helper!  He let Gray hold the fetal heart monitor and push the power button to turn it on and off.  He loved it!  When we got home from the appointment, he decided (all on his own, mind you!) that he needed to hear the heartbeat again:
