26 Weeks today!
I can't tell you how blessed I feel that Lily is still healthy and growing! Every day with her is a blessing, but I pray we have my entire lifetime of days with her!!
I won't go into every painful thing I'm experiencing right now, but I'll just say prayers are welcome. I am happy to do all of this if we can hold a healthy baby in our arms. The biggest concern the docs have right now besides the heart rate issues I'm having are that my contractions officially started changing my cervix (i.e. Pre-term labor). More meds...more monitoring. More "listening to my body"...right now the doc is open to letting me manage my care at home, but if I mess up, I will be in the hospital like I was with Marissa. (With her I did 3 & 1/2 months IN THE HOSPITAL). That would not be good for us right now.
God is in control. He must be, because we can't seem to control a single thing!! Ha ha.
DH has a meeting tomorrow with some execs from CBS who were impressed with him during an interview he did for their industry association (a job we guess he's not getting?). They want to see how his skills might fit together with their company. Who knows?
Many people have messaged me about our move...it is on hold until I can BREATHE in that house. Since I had an anaphylactic reaction with throat closing and such, I am a bit nervous. I mean when I go back, how will I know if surviving 1 hr there would be the same 24/7 there? The problem is that we are running up against an unknown deadline and need to GET MOVED.

Fingers crossed that your DH gets the job opportunity and thatyour cervix stays long!
You have such a beautiful spirit. So much faith and positivity -- it is truly inspiring. I\'m praying Lily stays healthy and growing inside you for a few months more and that you can stay at home. A home that doesn\'t make you sick! Wishing your hubby the best of luck on the job. Sounds really promising. I think they already have an idea that he is the right fit for their company. Here\'s hoping anyway! Hugs, Corrine
You and your family are always in my prayers. I hope your husband gets the job. I am still sickened and saddened that the house you are supposed to move into makes you physically sick. I pray that something can be done to fix that. Sending positive thoughts and an abundance of love your way. xoxoxo
Can you believe it?!? DH drove all the way in, allowing extra time because of road construction and Seattle traffic (which is a nightmare on Friday)...all the execs were NO-SHOWS!! The secretary called them and one answered & apologized. Vaguely said, \"Let\'s try to set something up next week.\"
:-( DH started back home. 7 hours wasted and a gas expense that we could not afford. What a disappointment.
I cannot believe it! How awful!
Yay for making it to 26 weeks!!! That is a great accomplishment. I hope DH is able to get the smoke smell out of the house completely so that you can live there comfortably! And I am sorry to hear about his appt. that sucks! I hope he has better luck next week!
We know how you feel. DH has been laid off over a year and the things we have seen in the interview process if amazing.
I am glad that you got good baby news the day that I had my baby. Yay for our little flowers!
