Just a short update about my fun filled day. I headed to the hospital for the glucose testing, ultrasound, stress test & steroid shot. Karsen passed the stress test and he looked great on the ultrasound. He has chubby cheeks and is weighing in at 3 lbs. 6 oz. Everything looked great with the rest of the exam, bed rest is working.....I told my mom that I need to go shopping and this is Dave and Karsen's way of keeping me out of the stores, Dave is teaching him early hahahaha....JK I didn't pass the glucose test I was 148 and high normal is 138. I am hoping that I don't have to do the 3 hour test :( I think she gave the steroid shot to soon before they drew the blood. They said it can make my sugar high....but who knows...not fun is all I know!

Here's the updated scoop..... Went to the doctors yesterday and he checked my cervix and all was well there and he also did another fetal fibronectin test and that came back NEGATIVE again so that makes me smile. The plan is...... next week I will go and have another ultrasound to check his measurements and the cervix again, then I will go and start another round of steroids and then I get to go and have the glucose test at the lab.....oh what a fun filled day that will be. I lost 8 pounds from my last visit 3 wks ago, I was a little shocked but Dr Kirkman said he wasn't to concerned at this point. I talked him into moving my due date up to Sept 5....that will buy me 4 days- anything to stay at Logan if he does come early! So as of right now I am 29 wks 5 days. So the appt went good I was really nervous when I went but very relieved when I left his office. Thanks for your continued prayers and support they are working!
Kenadie has been a real trooper through all this change that has been happening, she is a little confused when bed time comes she wants to be with me but she also wants to be with Grandma she runs back and forth from each room crying. I am sure she is lost and unsure of what is happening but she has been very good for what we are all dealing with.

I'm back for the time being.... after a 3 day hospital stay, they did another ultrasound and found that bed rest was working so I was released to go home on bed rest. I am staying with my parents during the week while Dave is working then I will be going home on the weekends. Hoping I don't out stay my welcome with my parents, they have been so good with helping me and keeping my busy little girl happy! I will see the doctor again on Wednesday and have another set of steroids on Friday. Just wanted to thank EVERYONE for your concern and prayers they truly have been felt and appreciated. I have the best friends and family anyone could ask for! I was hoping to get out of having a baby early this time but looks like that is what I have in store. I only hope I can make it to 32 weeks so that this little guy will be able to stay close to home~only 26 days to go and counting!
Just a special thanks to my wonderful mother....I am so glad she was with me when I had my ultrasound and had this all come crashing down on me. I was so emotional and scared and having her there and her support truly helped me!!! Thanks mom I love you!

Here we go again! update on baby!

Hello everyone, this is Hollie's sister Tianne. I just wanted to update you all on what is going on Hollie went for a complete OB ultrasound today and didn't receive the news she wanted! The babies head is down really low and the doctor is questioning whether the sac is making its way out. Her cervix is down to a 1.6 and the doctor is really concerned. Hollie has been admitted to the hospital for a few days and placed on complete bed rest. She will be checked again on Wednesday to determine how things are going. The doctor is hoping to keep the baby in for 3 more weeks. Hollie is 27 4/7 days pregnant but is measuring 28 3/7 days. The baby is weighing in at 2 lbs and 10 ounces. She has had her first round of steroids which is a blessing.

Please keep Hollie and the baby in your prayers.

Had my Doctors appt today (26 wks along today)....He checked my cervix and he said it was soft but is normal for this stage of pregnancy and then he did an ultrasound and 2wks ago the cervix measured 3.1 today it is 2.85 so it is still thinning :( He did the fibronectin test and the results came back NEGATIVE.....thank heavens no baby for at least 2 wks!!! I will see my doc again in 2 wks and he wants to do a complete ob ultrasound to check the weight of our little guy and then we will start the betamethason (sp) shots I will get one at 28 wks and then again at 31 wks. Just thought I would update you on this little adventure of ours :)
