Still able to keep down my kick butt jello and some broth - my mom even brought me some homemade broth with some less sodium so I don't swell up like a balloon. Heavenly. She also helped me wash my hair today, double heaven! We took a photo of our bathroom beauty shop session, but blogger won't let me upload pictures. I'll see if my gestational twin Meredith can help me with that later. If you have a second go give her a little hello and encouragement for all of her hard work with bedrest and her crazy pregnancy. She not only have done an amazing job dealing with her own crazy journey, but everyday (literally) she helps me deal with mine - and without
any complaints!
Had a BPP yesterday after the little girl looked a little sleepy on the monitor - but all is well. Brynn always pulls through with her end of this pregnancy! My grandparents are near 90, but are coming to visit me in a few minutes so it is a good day. My mom is going to dress Neela our dog up as a pumpkin for Halloween and she'll help my dad hand out candy. I'm sure they'll all have fun, LOL! I miss her so much. Growth scan tomorrow on the little baby girl and just hanging in there still. Thank you again for all the prayers- I can never emphasize that enough!

I'll bet Neela misses you too. She's probably wondering where the hell her bed buddy went!
I'm always glad to hear a good update from you. Can't beleive you're still hanging in there and staying pregnant! Amazing.
Keep up the good work.
Another scan and she is still hanging in there. You and Brynn are both superwomen!
I am so glad that you came out on the good side of the statistics. I will pray for that family with the 25 weeker and hope they come out on the good side of those statistics. I pray for you and Brynn often, as well.
Neela's friend Trin is at the groomer right now, getting a Halloween bandana. Trin is trying to decide between a man eating shark or a hot dog for her Halloween costume. The little dog is going to be a lobster. (I didn't buy any new costumes this year, so the little dog, being younger, has fewer choices.)
You are still hanging in there, sister! EXCELLENT!!! I am so happy that you are 34 weeks. What a huge milestone! Keep up the great work! Hope the growth scan was good!
Thank you for the update, Sara, and your protective motion with your hands over your lt.belly is so instinctive, very sweet and touching. I hope you enjoy your visit w/your grandparents and Yeah for your mom, homemade broth, and a nice hair wash! ((Hugs))
I bet Neela misses you too and that your mom is spoiling her rotten.
Your hand gripping your belly - that's just such maternal instinct.
I love reading updates from you and at the same time, I'm praying before i click on your blog, please, keep them safe..keep them safe.. and you're still hanging on!!
Homemade broth and lovely mummy sounds heavenly!
You're doing such a great job and I think the day you'll have Brynn safe and sound in your arms, I'll be tearing away for you guys!!!
(((((hugs, my dear friend))))
ps Wish I was staying near you guys..I'll look after Neela for you. She's such a sweetheart.
YaY!!!
I know thankful I felt eveerytime I heard what some others were going through.
KUTGW!!!
Happy 34 weeks my friend! that is when I was put on bedrest. I amgree with mrsspock, you are Brynn are superwomen!!!!!!!!!!1
You and Brynn are doing so fantastic. I'm glad that you are continuing to do well and are able to keep a bit more food down. Hang in there girl. Hugs to you.
I guess you don't know what happened to the 25 weeker....so scary.
Seriously, a week or two ago when I said that if you don't watch out you're going to end up full term...well, I don't know if I really meant that at the time...but wow, you're getting so stinking close!
Glad to read you're still hanging in there :)

Dear Sara, I have been following your story since the beginning and just wanted to let you know that I also had a 25 week old baby 2 weeks ago. It is very hard and emotionally draining but I wouldn't change a thing. I'm very happy for you and Brynn and will keep you in my prayers. Martina
Oh, I can only imagine how sad Neela must be. She must miss you something fierce!!
So glad that things are still going well and I've been thinking incredibly happy, jello-ey thoughts for you! :-)
Hugs, girl!
I have to admit I miss seeing Neela too. (;
I always take a deep breath and say a quick prayer when I see a post from you Sara. I pray you are both still safe and holding on strong. You are kicking butt and will be full term in no time at all!!
I guess there's no answer to why some people get the short straw, but I'm happy that you haven't this time.
Glad to hear all is going well...hope you have a nice visit with your grandparents!
Wow-- look at you and Meredith go, 34.5 weeks! You are amazing.
So glad you're still hanging in there and managing to keep the jello down. Almost there.
Big Guy won't let me dress up the dog....pooper!
Glad you're doing ok
You look as beautiful as ever. Keep up the good work!!
Wow, so great to see you on your feet! Glad you got a hairwash and some homemade broth. How sweet of your mom. You are so amazing to view your situation so positively. Hope the growth scan was all good yesterday!
You're doing great hanging in there! Checking in on you every day. :)
Love the pictures, Sara. You and your mom are really beautiful, what great smiles. You are one hot Mama, Sara! I hope you have a great day.
I'm so glad that all is going well :)
Great job Sara! The photos are great. Thinking about you daily!
So good to see you standing up! You and Brynn are a good team!
You look great. Will you ever eat jello again after this experience? Will you hate it or will you somehow start to crave it? I wonder.
You look great! I'm glad things are going well and you got to have some delicious broth, sounds heavenly! You and your family are in my prayers, as awlways. As well, as the woman who gave birth at 25 weeks. Enjoy your visit with your grandparents. Hugs,
-D
Glad to see you and Brynn are still hanging in there. Ready your post brought back memories of my own, relatively short, stint on bedrest. I had forgotten all about my mom helping me to wash my hair in a bedpan. I'm a person who normally HAS to have a hot shower every day, but I remember that after a week on complete bed rest (bedpans suck!) that hair washing felt like heaven! Keep hanging in there!!!
Ahhh... enough can't be said for one day at a time.
Always so good and such a relief to get an update from you, and to know that Brynn is a day closer to full term.
Even I miss seeing your little Neela-- such a cutie. Will you be sending home a blanket of the baby's scent in advance of bringing her home; or perhaps that's unnecessary.
Still praying and sending good wishes your way.
Keep on hanging in there.
Anna.
Look at you little Momma! I love the pics...you are so tiny. Keep downing that jello, k?
Praying for you, sweet girl.
((HUGS))
So glad to hear another update from you! I think you're going to make it to true full term!!
I love that you have a photo featuring the toilet - that's great lol.
I would LOVE to know why some have it worse than others. Even just to know how my UU got to 39wks without a problem and you've had problems all along. It's crazy and unfair and I'd just love to know WHY.
Thinking of the mom and family of the 25weeker.
Just found your blog a couple days ago, and have read through most of it. Hoping you are still baking! You are amazing to have made it this far in your pregnancy. Hope the scan yesterday went well.
Glad to hear you are still doing well. Keep up the good work!
~teehee~ - what a nice bathroom picture! :)
Ah Sara, I can't believe you've been so tough through this all. I'm so very proud of you.
