I just realized something - Kenzi is 3 1/2 years old. In May she'll be 4! She's so observant, it's one of the things I absolutely love about her. However with that observation and now age she's starting to see some of the not-so-great things about this world we live in. I nearly died on multiple occasions and that has put so much into perspective... there is so much about life that I want Kenzi (and my future children) to know and learn from me. I want them to be instilled with a sense of ... View the Post
Things I wish I had done…
Looking back on my pregnancy with Quinn if there was one word I would have used to describe how I felt the entire time it would have been 'afraid'. We lost two babies very early prior to Quinn, and so when week eight, nine, ten passed... to say we were scared to announce my pregnancy was an understatement. However there was something deep in my bones that told me we needed prayer. We needed the support of our family, friends and community. Shortly after announcing my pregnancy I started ...

Too soon…
I’m completely broken – but I know the one who restores. It feels as if my heart is shattered and is just tiny pieces on the floor. Last night my water broke. The last thing keeping Quinn earth side, and me uninfected. I’m truly at a loss for words. Quinn will really be here soon.

I have a feeling that he will look just like his daddy – just like Kenzi does – the Colwick “Viking” genes have proven to run ... View the Post
Blessed to see another day
Today marks day six in the hospital – technically day 5 – if you don’t count Friday. On Tuesday little Quinn turned 16 weeks old. On January 31st Quinn will be 22 weeks old and have a 10% chance at life outside my womb – but at least there will be a chance. The next milestone after 22 weeks is 26 weeks (February 28th). At 26 weeks his chances of survival jump to around 80%. It’s hard for me to lay here thinking of these dates – the doctors only gave us hours on Friday and yet God has ... View the Post
Quinn’s journey
Here I am, on bed rest – fully by the grace of God – after what I thought was a rocky pregnancy for the first 15 weeks. Since I found out I was pregnant I have been bleeding, just brown spots at first which at 12 weeks turned into massive cramping and bright red blood – leading to several unexpected ER visits and still no answers. At the second ER visit they discovered that I had what is called a subchorionic hematoma – and probably a hemorrhage causing the bleeding but they couldn’t ... View the Post
