Doctor's Appointments

Yesterday was my first fetal fibranecton test-- I should have at least two more of these test done at 32 and 34 weeks... I go back on the 24th for my 32 week one.

What Is Fetal Fibronectin (fFN)?

Fetal fibronectin (also known as fFN) is a “glue-like” protein that bonds your developing baby to your uterus. Fetal fibronectin is detectable in vaginal secretions in the very beginning of pregnancy, when this bond is first forming, and then again at the end of pregnancy, when your body is getting ready to deliver your baby.

How does fetal fibronectin work?

fFN is a special protein that literally holds your baby in place in the womb. After the 35th week of pregnancy, it begins to break down naturally, and is detectable. If your body is getting ready to give birth prematurely, fFN may be detected before week 35.

I was SO relieved to hear the word "NEGATIVE" for once hearing that word was a GOOD thing... So we are praying to hear that 2 more times...  This allows me to keep going on with normal life and working... If the test becomes positive at any point then i will be on strict bed rest and steroid shots to get baby Adelynn's lungs developed.

I have mentally prepared myself for a preterm baby with high hopes I will not experience this time and I will get to experience the "normal" birth and have a baby to room in with me... Pray Pray Pray.. 30 weeeks tomorrow!! 10 more to go... 

Daddy and Olivia's First 5K COLOR RUN

Pre Race Pictures... That's a tough little girl right there!!










Well Olivia has official ran her first 5k... I SO wish i could have ran it with them, but my doctor recommended I didn't even walk it due to having a past of preterm labor... So taking ALL precautions.. I decided to drive to the first color station where I could get some pictures of Olivia and Daddy running and see how she liked it... Well i sat there for an hour and 40 minutes before their heat went but it was SO worth the smile on both of their faces.

First Color Station:

Yes that's Olivia on her daddy's shoulders.. SPOILED ;)

Here they GO.......

She LOVED it!!


After I watched them run through, I jumped in the car and drove over to Jordan Valley Park where i knew the finish line was and i could catch them as they finished up the race... After realizing Jeff had lost Stacey which is who i was keeping up with i was worried i wouldn't find them... BUT I DID :)


Finish Line:






All Good and MESSY!!

Look at that SMILE!!

Part of their team GR8R

Such a Daddy's Girl... 

Easter Egg Hunt

Olivia did an awesome job this year at going out and getting her own eggs.. She ran with her friends and they had a blast... So much fun watching her running and laughing.. So blessed.

Happy Easter

We had a SUPER busy Easter weekend but it was SO worth it all... 3 church services, servolution, easter egg hunt, dying easter eggs with friends, family, and little sleep.. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

And the last two pictures are from our church service today it was amazing Jeff and the creative team did an AWESOME job and all the hard work paid off!! I was one proud wife!! :)

Adelynn Mae 27 weeks

She was moving a lot these were the best ones we got of her :) she did smile and blink a few times.. So much fun watching her though.. :) she looks just like Olivia we think :)

Adelynn's Baby Shower in the Bootheel

We had an awesome time while we were down in the bootheel for the last time as a family of 3... next time we make the trip we will be a family of 4...  We are blessed with an AWESOME family and friends and it was SO nice seeing a lot of them. Hard to believe I am 27 weeks and 3 days now and time is flying.. I go to the doctor on Thursday to do my glucose test and possibly be check for preterm labor signs. I've been having lots of back pain and Adelynn moves SO much. I think i'm starting to hit the time of pregnancy that gets a little harder on the body... :) I'm enjoying every minute of her moving because i know in a few weeks i'm going to miss all those kicks... 

Teeth Problems (YUCK)

Well Happy 25 Weeks to me.. I'm headed to the endodonist at 6:30am for a root canal... I've had quite the week with my teeth... Idk if it's just me being pregnant or what but i did this SAME thing with Olivia but it was much earlier and i ended up having to have it pulled it was TERRIBLE.
I'm SOOO nervous... The last three nights i've gotten a total of about 12 hours of sleep and when i woke up at 3am in pain this morning i knew something has to be done... I'm worried about my baby and putting stress on her from me being stressed and having to take tylenol for pain every 8 hours... SO enough is enough and I just going to get it done and PRAY that it takes my pain away...
I get to come home and sleep for a few hours before going to work which is very nice because i'm exhausted and THANKFULLY there is nothing going on this weekend so i'm praying for lots of rest because next week is SPRING BREAK week and I have been planning to go to the bootheel and visit family, but i have to kick this pain and get back to normal... if not looks like Miss O might make her first trip without momma..

Anyway it's now 5am.. I'm going to try to lay down for another hour and rest before i have to leave to head to Springfield...

I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend and I could use a few prayers this way for quick healing because being down with a 3 year old is NOT very much fun. :(
