30 wks

Another appt. I'm seeing a trend after my appts. My day ends up being a bit overwhelming, emotionally. But we are making way to our beautiful beginning!
I saw Dr Fox again today. I signed my consents today. It's in black and white..." Pregnancy with morbidly adherent: Placenta accreta/increta/percreta"
Below that several paragraphs with risks, complications, what they are going to do during surgery, etc. 
Next week I start iron infusions in hopes of boosting my iron levels. Once admitted  they will put a line in an artery in my arm and take blood from me every 3 days. I have 3 people signed up to donate their blood for me, one is my husband :) . He's a great guy :) . 
My uterus was irritable so they hooked me up to monitor and of course all was fine. I was scolded for neglecting the 2 hrs of Braxton hicks contractions I was having a couple evenings before. I'm so conditioned to shrugging these normal occurrences off. I forget how fragile my situation is. But no more. I will text my dr next time this happens ;) . 
My mom made it back to Florida safe and sound. She will return in 2.5 weeks to look after my kids again. I love her :) . She's done amazing job with my kids. My husband told me today that our 10 yr old walked in from playing outside, loaded the dishwasher and ran it! I'm SO glad she's coming back!! Thank you mom! 
All in all, I have 2.5 weeks until I'm admitted. I'm at the 1/2 way point in my journey to our beautiful beginning. How I can't wait to be on the other side of this. 
Thank you for continued prayers and thoughts. 
I'll be posting maternity pics soon.

Ant hills to mountains

First I have to share the love and support from all over. Especially to Hope for Accreta Foundation, Gina. She sent me this. Such a beautiful surprise to see the signatures of survivors from all over the world. Very humbling. Probably the biggest and most humbling gifts I've received thus far are cards with words of encouragement. I've received birthday cards, etc but these cards are different...or maybe my perspective is changing.  This past week I don't look at my children the same. When I hold my youngest, I inhale his sweet, sticky and sometimes unidentifiable (depends what substance he's sporting) smell. I look at my two youngest and truly look into their deep blue eyes, trying to count the various shades of blue. I watch their movements. I stare in wonder how my 3 yr old knows almost all the words to Frozen, complete with hand gestures and facial expressions. How observant she is...what has she observed from me over the 3 short years of her beautiful life? W...

It's so good to be home!

The past 2.5 weeks home have been great! I'm tired and get sore easily but nothing like snuggling your children and cuddling up in your big, comfy bed.  Elias, our 19 month old, didn't remember me when I walked through the door. Actually he didn't warm up to me until a week and half later :( . Poor little guy. About 4 days ago he crawled up on my lap and snuggled with me. Something he used to do before I left. It filled my heart with joy. I've missed him.  Gabriel is doing great! Eating every 2-2.5 hrs ...not so great in the middle of the night but he's thriving! His discharge weight was 5lbs 8oz, 4 days later he was 6lbs 2oz! 10 days after that he weighed 7lbs 4oz and 19.25" (he was 18.5"). All from momma's Dairy Queen :) He's doing amazing. So proud of our little guy :) Elias loves giving his little brother kisses and hugs. At first Elias was a bit freaked by his brother's noises. He would observe him from a distances and just stare at him. T...
