    Hello, Dawn!

    Praying everything goes well. I was just diagnosed with a placenta previa and accreta. The ultrasound shows attachment to the bladder but we arent sure yet. My next appointment and testing will be on Monday. Needless to say, I am SO SO SO nervous. I am only 22 weeks along and have been praying to God to get my baby the viable phase. I have no bleeding, but have been feeling pressure and cramping the past few days. My husband has been telling me that everything is in God's hands, and I know he's right, but Im still nervous for our unborn son as well as the hysterectomy procedure. Well, as I said before I will pray for you and your family and that all goes smoothly.

    God bless you!
    Jennifer

Update 31 weeks

We'll on Monday contractions were every 12-7 min apart. Took a shower, spaced to 20 min and ouch! Called the dr headed in. I was contracting every 6 min. I didn't think it was anything so I didn't bring my bags. Accreta sister, bring your bags, period. I miss my pillows, my clothes, my deodorant...you get the idea :) . They gave me 2 steroid shots for the baby's lungs and they hooked me up to magnesium sulfate. I've been on mag for 36 hrs. Contractions tapered off from 1-4 an hr. Some are pretty painful and cause cervical pressure. They turned off my mag and now I'm waiting to get my catheter out, get on my feet and eventually shower! In the meantime :) : Some people hate these compression boots, I like them.  Yeah, it was a long night....that's all I've got say about that...oh and 4th times the charm when hitting my veins.  My mag. Some people hate this stuff. It actually treated me well. No complaints. I'm so glad. All this stu...

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...

Travel II

My husband is pretty awesome. The original plan was for me to fly. My fear and anxiety over flying rendered me physically sick so my husband said he'd travel with me, via, car to TX. I'm so thankful for his job, his work ethic, his love for me. Day I, we traveled from home to Chattanooga TN, 8 hrs. To me it was a really quick trip. Usually I'm wrestling with 5+ kids and playing games, assigning spaces, correcting behaviors, the list goes on and hrs drag by. This time, it's all too simple, I'm enjoying this one on one time with my husband. Last night we enjoyed dinner at a local joint called Community Pie. Conviently, it was located across from our hotel (the red symbol). It was 75 degrees and a pleasant evening to go for a short walk. My husband, a craft beer connoisseur, enjoyed a local Pilsner and I had a slice of pizza. This place was pretty neat, we sat inside but it was opened to the outside. Shaking off the cabin fever has never felt so good.  The kids d...
