Vintage Nails and Preterm Labor


Vintage floral nails brought to you by preterm labor. This is the sort of thing that you have time for when you are sitting 90% of everyday growing a baby. I took this picture just so that I can remember having cute nails after this baby gets here and I'm dealing with more important things, like THIS. :) I'm officially down for the count. I'm taking medicine (procardia) every eight hours now, and I'm off my feet except for very short periods of time. Preterm labor has come and now it's time to hunker down and finish strong! 37 weeks or bust!! I'm telling ya, I'm determined to be able to say that I have JUST ONCE been able to carry a baby FULL term. If I make it, I may even get one of those bragging stickers for my car...You know the ones that say "honor student" or "all stars baseball" and things like that? Mine will say "Full Term Infant On Board!" Woot woot! Okay so maybe I won't go that far, but seriously it may be on my headstone when I die. Ha! :) xo, Sam

I had my first bio kiddo, 6 years ago, at 30 weeks 5 days. 4 kiddos later, thru adoption, we are pregnant again... yay, huge shock. Started preterm labor at 21 weeks, been in bed on procardia, progesterone, welcome womb and alfalfa since then for the past 4 weeks. And thanks to you, I am now knitting and crocheting... only way to pass the time in bed... well that and Netflix classic crime shows. Praying for a full term baby for you and stalking your blog for ideas!

Blessings.

Dear Baby Caffee,

You have a great mama and a really neat family you are going to be born into. I know how excited you are to meet all of them, it's understandable. However, sweet one, if you come out too early, your arrival will be full of scary places and things. Trust me, you don't want to go through that. If you can wait at least 12 more weeks, when you meet your mom it will be a room full of joy and light, and you will not spend your days full of scary places and things, but in your mama's arms, being snuggled and loved on. The wait will be well worth it.

Sincerely,
Me

Dear Sam,
Focus on that joy and light and 37 week mark, and nothing else. I believe it can happen, and I'm rooting for you! Hang in there.

Sincerely,
Me (a fellow mom that has had way too many NICU babies herself)

Congratulations on your new baby! You can do it! My labor started at a whooping 16 weeks with the last bio babe & we made it to thirty-five (over three months of hospital bedrest). Didn't get a free pass outta the NICU but we were thankful. God has numbered every hair on baby's head. Love your attitude!

A stranger in Mississippi is praying for you.

Hey, have you ever tried Hydroprogesterone injections? I have to start giving my self Progesterone injections at 16 weeks all the way to 36 weeks. It worked for me. Maybe you've already tried it but if not it's TOTALLY worth talking to your doctor about.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
