The curveball….

Where to begin…..

Mike and I went to my routine check up on Wednesday morning and when my Dr asked how I was feeling I told her “ehhhh…okay just tired and crampy”. I wasn’t really worried because I remember being crampy off and on when I was pregnant with Kamryn, this time I just thought it was happening a little more frequently possibly because I have a 2 year old. My Dr decided to check my cervix and do a couple tests to rule out preterm labor just to be safe. Never ever thinking of what would happen next. My cervix is closed so we thought everything was fine. She told me to lay down as much as possible and she would see me again in 2 weeks instead of 4 weeks to check me again. Mike and I came home and just relaxed for the remainder of the day. By 4 o’clock I got a message from my Dr to call her back asap. I called the office and much to my surprise the FFN test came back positive. What this basically means is my body is leaking fetal fibronectin and that preterm labor is likely to occur. The fetal fibronectin is basically the glue that binds the fetal sac to the uterine lining. This could mean labor could happen soon or not for a few weeks. I could even still go full term but the odds of that are very unlikely at this point. I was instructed to get to the hospital immediately so we could do a fetal non stress test on the baby and check for any contractions. They also have to now give me steroid shots to help the babies lungs develop faster. I got one shot on wednesday night and one thursday night. Luckily, baby is doing great and I am not currently contracting. The nurses even told us last night that on the monitor Logan looks like a 32+ week baby…he’s super healthy and his heart is nice and strong. GREAT NEWS! Especially if he does make an early appearance. For now I am on moderate bedrest. Which means I am stuck either in bed or on the couch and can only get up to use the bathroom, take a shower or long enough to make a sandwich. You can imagine this is super tough with Kamryn but thankfully my mom and sister are here for the weekend to help. Kamryn is all up in arms and doesn’t understand whats going on at all. Poor baby! It just breaks my heart. For now we will take it one day at a time and hope and pray Logan stays put for quite some more time. I’ll do everything I am instructed to do to make sure he is as healthy as possible but as of now the future is unknown and completely out of our hands! 

Please keep us in your prayers!
