I have been soaking up every moment with this sweet girl for the last two months and I’m so thankful for it. My ability to let time stand still for her while so many of you are working double, triple, quadruple loads is not lost on me.

My philosophy and goal of Ideas By Jivey has always been to help lighten your load, and while my resources and blog posts and videos are all still “there” for you, I intend on getting back to providing new content very soon!

Much love, and biggest virtual hugs- Jivey

Our sweet baby girl, Charlotte Adalyn, finally mad

Our sweet baby girl, Charlotte Adalyn, finally made her debut September 1! She is perfect, and we are so in love. After a total of 50 days in the hospital, we are so glad to be home now and getting settled as a family. Thanks so much for all the love! 💜

These days, I’m not allowed to go anywhere except to my doctor appointments, but I wear a mask to protect not just myself and my unborn baby, but to protect others and their families, too. #teachergrammasks

An update on life- I’ve gotten some DMs because

An update on life- I’ve gotten some DMs because I haven’t posted anything since early July about ending up in the hospital. 💜 I’m so sorry! Instagram is always the first platform to go when my plate gets too full.

Short version: we were in the hospital on bedrest for 4 weeks, and sent home for continued bedrest. Barring labor doesn’t come sooner, she will be delivered via c-section at 38 weeks, September 1st!

Long detailed version: I was admitted to the hospital for being dilated AND almost fully effaced at 28 weeks. No actual labor had begun though, so I was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix (who names this stuff??? Let’s not forget I am also “geriatric” 🙄). Being in the hospital on bedrest is mentally draining... being ISOLATED in the hospital on bedrest due to the pandemic (luckily my husband was able to come stay with me at night when he got off work, but no other visitors allowed) was VERY mentally and emotionally draining. Most days, I cried and slept the day away, despite the amazing friends and family who reached out constantly to check on me and showered me with food and gifts. Everyone told me to keep busy- but between the deafening quiet, the white walls, the uncomfortable bed, and the nurses checking on me... it was impossible to focus on much of anything.

I was so thankful that after 4 weeks of no physical changes, they released me early to go home for more bedrest. My head and heart needed it more than I can explain. I’ve been home two weeks now and even though I still can’t DO anything (no nesting!!!!), I am in a much better headspace. After another ultrasound last week, it was determined that the umbilical cord vessels actually run through the membrane of her sac to reach the placenta which can be dangerous to her during labor and birth (called velamentous cord insertion), so we have a scheduled c-section for September 1st. This next month, I’ll be chained to my laptop (because it’s about all I can do anyway, haha) to work on that product creation to-do list before this precious baby girl gets here, and then life really will be ALL about her! 💜

There’s a good reason I fell off the map for a h

There’s a good reason I fell off the map for a hot minute in the last two weeks... a 28 week ultrasound showed signs of preterm labor so I’ve been ordered to hospital bed rest for a month. I got meds for me and her and it helped - hoping everything stays stable and quiet (so far so good) and I’ll be able to go home for bed rest until week 35. 10 days down. 20 more to go here at the hospital. Keep baking, baby girl!!
