Well, the results of my fetal fibronectin test are in. Turns out it came back positive. What does that mean? Well, fibronectin is a protein that acts as a 'glue' holding the amniotic sac to the uterus. When you are close to the end of your pregnancy, this protein 'leaks' and that is a signal that labor is near by. So me being 30 weeks pregnant, that's not the BEST news in the world BUT my doctor told me not to panic, that lots of women test positive and carry to term (37+ weeks). 1 out of 3 women deliver within the next 2 to 3 weeks. So we are asking for prayers that baby stays put and doesn't decide to make an early appearance. I go back to the doctor tomorrow to discuss 'what's next' with my doctor. It may be that I am seen 1 or 2 times a week or it could be bedrest, or both. Will keep you all posted!
On another note. . I spent the weekend 'resting' (or trying too). Yesterday I did 5 loads of laundry... and none of that was mine or Josh's! Babys clothes, blankets and everything else are washed and ready to go and mine and babys bags are packed for the hospital. It was a productive weekend... even if I did spend most of my time on my butt!
