I looked at your views over the last few weeks and I think it’s safe to say that over one million people from all over the world are following along and praying for the best outcome. It’s going to blow your son’s mind when he gets old enough to appreciate this fact. He’s more famous than 99.9% of people on earth and he hasn’t even been born yet!!! 🙏🏻👏🏻👶🏻
When stating statistics it is important to site your source. 99% is a childish guess.
Love and Prayers for the three of you. God Bless and Surround you with His Protection.
🙏🏻☝️❤❤❤
@Sharon-st9st It’s also important to spell “cite” correctly! You shouldn’t throw rocks when you live in a glass house, lady!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
@Sharon-st9stdon't be that one person that makes life joyless... She didn't say anything wrong. It's called " hyperbole". And we use it frequently here in America... It's not a scientific term when used in this way. It's used as an exaggeration intentionally.
But I guess you were not very good in English class?
When you're old And ready to leave the land of the living ,you want people to look back on you and think of you fondly not as the person who corrected everybody and took the joy out of life
Prayers always
Retired OB nurse here. I think every couple of weeks you have a little uterine growth spurt which stretches that placenta just a bit and causes the small bleed. And that’s exactly why you’re there. If something happens you’re in great hands right there.
Thank you for your educated response because I needed to know this ❤
That is actually a very important and helpful information, thank you.
I have friends who have had lots of bleeding throughout their pregnancy and all ended very well! Praying 🙏🏻!
Thank you! I had bleeding every few weeks with my second pregnancy without any problems and that explains it!
Jesse and Alesseo...God is in control.....let go and lay your worries at his feet...he speaks of faith all through the bible...God is faithful in the big things and minute to minute struggles...We control nothing....Rest in Gratitude and I pray for you to have the peace God can ony provide in situations like this....meditate /listen to christian music...it helps so much...stay close to him...and he will bring you and baby through this. He called you to share your journey to help others. "Trust ...that he is faithful" love you both
Jessi, I was born at 6 1/2 months old (1961) and spent several months in the children's hospital being artificially fed, etc. My grandmother always said that my head was the size of a lemon, and I weighed around 800g. I never had a single so-called childhood illness, never broke anything (I am a passionate skier), and was never seriously ill. In the nov. of 2025 (now 64 years old), I got my first bout of influenza. So Jessi and Alessio don't worry, your boy will grow up to be strong and a fighter! I'm thinking of you - I hug you both, Sabine from cold Austria🇦🇹
This is inspiring to all the preterm babies and parents ❤
Es ist schön das es schon damals bei dir alles gut gegangen ist.❤
Liebe Grüsse von Sabine aus dem Norden von Deutschland
Ich meine damit,die prenatale Medizin leistet immer mehr und besseres .Wollen wir alle Daumen drücken das dieser kleine Schatz es auch schafft.
Das wünsche ich von Herzen❤
Meine Tochter heißt Sabina ❤ Ich liebe deinen Namen
Yes, 56 yrs old and also a premie. 4 lbs at birth and have had a relatively healthy life. You got this Pasini’s 🦁 💚
I've been following your journey, I'm a neonatologist from Romania. What I can tell you from my experience working in the NICU is that all newborns, but especially preterm babies are little fighters and can overcome great challenges. Every day that he stays in utero counts, every week that passes is important for giving him a better outcome after birth. Also being born in the right place, with a great team of OB and NICU doctors and nurses counts a lot, which I believe you do have there. I hope that everything goes well for you and baby, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
Happy 25 weeks today (Saturday the 24th). Jessi when I saw you getting emotional I wanted to give you a big hug.
me too. :-)
Same. So sweet
Same! 🥹
Same. 🫂🫂🫂
Same!!
You are so brave! I just brought my baby home 6weeks ago. She was born at 28 weeks. And she was in the NICU for 77 days. I was in the hospital at 23 weeks from same. Bleeding and previa and acreta. I was going through this same thing just a few months ago! You are brave and are going to have a cute little baby whenever the time comes!
Is your baby ok? How difficult was the birth?
How are you doing and how is your baby doing!
@c@carolynswanson2831by is doing great! Grateful for all the healthcare workers who care so much! She has thrived! I feel very blessed and lucky! I am doing great! My body took a beating from 5 months of bed rest 😅 and surgery but I feel lucky to be alive and have a healthy baby!
@Prof.S.MartassI had a C-section and hysterectomy. Healings been slow and steady. But I am so grateful to be alive and have a healthy baby girl. She was 3 lbs at birth and after 77 days in the NICU we got to bring her home. She is 4.5 months now and almost 10 lbs! I feel so so proud of her! She is so strong!
@jesstopher66❤
Jessi - 38 years ago, I was also hosptalized with placenta previa. The days seemed to drag on forever, but my beautiful boy was born at 35 weeks. It sounds like you are in a good place with excellent care. Alessio and you are doing great! Continue to think those positive thoughts!
Yep he's gonna be and aries...good luck with THAT
@patricedhanis-rouse3777 hey im an Aries lol
A positive message ❤
@patricedhanis-rouse3777
I'm an Aries 😊
@patricedhanis-rouse3777 Easy there, I'm an aries.😂😂
Jessi, let me be superficial for a moment: You look gorgeous!
Jessi you are a strong momma lion. I can see your stress in this video but our love and prayers will carry you. I'm so sorry this has been such a difficult pregnancy but the rewards when your lion cub is in your arms will be worth it
Seeing Jessie tear up in the background hurt my heart for her. It will be okay. At 24 weeks and 1 lb 11 oz, baby boy Pasini is already amazing! When I had my preemie at 34 weeks, she was 6 lb 6.5 oz. My obstetrician said she would have been well over 10 lbs at full term. In August! She was perfect! Apgar score of 8-9, a bit jaundiced and couldn't keep her temp for a couple of days. That was in 1980! She is 45, 5' 10", gorgeous, healthy, smart and sassy. Like other preemies have said here, she was never sick. Her whole childhood life raised in Los Angeles being exposed to people from around the world and from all walks of life. Too many are praying for this beautiful baby to be born healthy and strong. Dry those tears for Jessie, Alessio, as you always do. Your baby boy is already so loved! It is amazing! ❤
25 weeks!! The prayers continue for you daily🙏🙏🙏
I’m praying so faithfully for this baby and this family with you!!!
My heart hurts for Jessi when I see that worry and fear in her eyes.
You’re doing everything you can for that little man and we are all praying daily for all three of you. Your medical team will keep you all safe and bring you all through this. ❤
🎉🎉25 WEEKS TODAY!!🎉🎉 Praying for 10 more weeks! Sending love & prayers. ❤️🙏🦁🙏❤️
Sending lots of prayers ❤
My brother was born in the South in 1962, and he weighed about a pound. He lived in an incubator in a small rural hospital for many weeks, but he was still so small when he came home that he fit in the palm of my dad's hand. He started putting on weight right away, hit all the developmental milestones, and grew to be a strong, healthy man who is still going strong at 63. I pray that your journey will be the same as, or even better than, my family's. God bless you and your child.
Wow! I was 9 months but my mother's placenta hadn't fully developed. I was 4 pounds in 1967. She gained a total weight of 7 pounds (me included) I am amazed that your sibling weighed a pound and survived back then! A newborn kitten weight.
Wow, my hubby was just a little bit bigger - but not much - and in the same time period. Being a preemie back then was pretty much sink or swim.
I was born a few years later and weighed a couple more pounds and I was still in an incubator for over a month. (I was 6 weeks early)
I hadn't gotten to desired 5# weight yet, but they let me out early bc I would scream and kick the incubator in a fury whenever the nurses tried to put me back inside. 😅 I guess I didn't like it very much! 😅
@keepingitreel0812
It was a miracle that he lived given the state of health care for premature babies at that time. If I remember correctly, he was born at about 24 weeks, so a pound or pound and a half would have been about right. My poor mom had just given birth about a year earlier and the baby, my sister, lived only an hour. I don't know if she was premature or not😢.
25 Weeks today! 🎉 Sending prayers to all three of you for another safe 10 weeks. 🙏
3:57 every single day is a Victory
Og her fandt vi hans navn .. Victor ❤
I delivered twin girls at 32.5 weeks 40 years ago. One is a doctor one is a lawyer. Keep the faith. Praying for you❤️❤️❤️
Awww, you are one blessed mother!
@stargazer2533and when they were born the doctors told me that most likely they would not go to a normal school...etc ...Keep the faith🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My twins had had enough at week 34.Two and half weeks in NICU and after that it flew. They skipped four years at school and are now 23 years old.
32 is GREAT for twins!
@erikawanner7355I had twin to twin transfusion delivered Emergency C-section
My water broke at 28 weeks and I spent a month in antepartum on bedrest with just bathroom privileges and a 30 min wheelchair ride a day. I was induced just short of 34 weeks due to infection in my uterus. Baby was perfect and only needed 9 days in the NiCU! I needed some work, but it was an IVF pregnancy and we learned later that I have a rare blood clotting disease that caused all the complications. Today, my son is almost 14 and almost 6 foot tall. He is a competitive soccer player and a straight A student! Total love of my life!
Did your son inherit your "rare blood clotting disease"??? If so, how does it affect his "competitive soccer" as obvi he won't have to deal w childbirth?
Amen ❤
It's Saturday so you're at 25 weeks! Still praying for another 10 more but every milestone is one worth celebrating! ❤
One thing I have noticed about you both. You acknowledge the situation. The emotions. The concerns. But Allesio does such a wonderful job of focusing on the positives with you Jessi, and you can see how you both bounce off each other in such a good way. I know we dont see behind the scenes, but I can see the mutual support, and bolstering of each other that you both do. Its truly incredible to see that level of togetherness.
He's an active little guy. You'll be chasing him all over the place soon enough. That's a great thing. You are doing a great job momma!! Im praying for you both.
Love this comment ❤
Oh, honey!! We are all praying for you. Mama of 26 weeker twins here (2 lbs and 2 lbs 2 oz). I spent 32 days in the hospital due to complications from twin to twin transfusion syndrome surgery (constantly bleeding) before my placenta detached and they had to do a c section. We spent 96 days in the nicu and one came home on oxygen. They’re now 4 and the absolute picture of health. They’re the size of my full term 5 year old and they’ve been reading and writing for 1.5 years. Pray, pray, pray!! He can and does work miracles, I’ve experienced it first hand. ❤
I can see the worry on your face. I pray that God will comfort you and protect this little guy until his grand entrance. Is Alessio staying at the hospital for the duration of the snow storm? We need to keep him safe, too! I hope someone else will be looking after Micia so Alessio doesn’t have to try to commute every day. Blessings to all! 💖🙏🏼
Yes. I saw the worry too and it broke my heart for her!! I pray the same for all 3 of them. 🙏🩵🙏
I teared up seeing your tears and your sweet chart showing the weeks progress. This is what it means to be a parent.... the deepest love which also means the deepest fear. I have two children and never had pregnancy issues but one of my children had other issues as a baby that resulted in hospitalization. I remember just wanting to run and get a real adult to help my baby, but I was the real adult. You will worry about your child until one of you takes your last breath. I remember my mom telling me during 9/11 that she had to give her children over to God in her heart and trust Him with us. I haven't quite figured out how to do that but I know this is the way... trying to surrender what you can to a greater plan. Our babies are here, they are alive, and they are worth celebrating every day we are given with them. We don't know how many days that will be, but we are so very blessed by each one. Sending you all the love and prayers for years upon years with your sweet boy.
Happy 25 week ❤ praying for a safe delivery & minimal NICU time ❤️
25 weeks down! Bring on 26!!
You two deserve this baby. I spotted for 7 months prayed every day and my son is 41 now.
My mom was born early. Over 95 years ago. She was so tiny the doctor said take her home but don’t get attached because she will die. My grandma put her in a shoe box with a light over her to get warm from the light bulb. She lived, she was small for a while but caught up to other kids in elementary school. God can do miracles! Praying for you guys and for that special sweet baby boy!
Wow! That is a great family story❤❤
My grandson was born at 1 lb 12 oz and spent 3 months in the NICU. He is 4 now and a perfectly healthy, rambunctious boy! You got this! I am praying for you.
My daughter was 1 lb. Tiny, but mighty! She'll be 14 in April.
Jessi and Alessio,
I am a 67 year old mother who went through infertility years ago. I had put my faith in Christ as a child, and the years with Him as my Savior only get sweeter. I have always taken encouragement from Psalm 139:1-6 and 13-18 which says,
“O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!…
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!”
-New Living Translation
At my age, and having a relationship with Jesus for almost 60 years, I also take encouragement from the promise in Isaiah 41:10,
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Father, thank You for this precious little boy and for how well he is doing! Thank You that Jessi was already at the hospital when this recent bleeding occurred. Please grant Jessi and Alessio peace as they put their trust in You. You know how long they have waited and how difficult the journey has been. You have been with them through every trial. Strengthen their faith as they put their hope in You. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen.
Amen 🙏
Amen❤️🙏🏻❤️
I'm a vintage occupational therapist. I didn't work in NICU, but did work with children birth - 26 yo through Head Start and a school based services. Those neurological signs they said were advanced are great news. The brain is amazing. Keep doing what your doing.
If needed, you can ask to talk with a social worker, chaplain, or call your parish if the mental load feels to heavy. There is no shame in that.
Call on JESUS NAME
That's right
I’ve been a silent follower on TT for years, I’ve been praying for you guys since you announced you IVF journey. Really hoping everything keeps going well for you, just came to say his size sounds really good. My first came unexpectedly at 28 +2 weeks (went in to get checked because she stopped moving and my seemingly healthy pregnancy ended with a c-section 4 hours later) but she was only 870 grams (1lb 15oz) at 28 weeks. We didn’t have time for steroids or anything because she came too fast but she had a fairly uneventful 78 day NICU stay and is now a happy healthy 4.5 year old. Cannot wait to see you two become the best parents to your little 🦁 (though I’m really hoping I have to wait at least another 8 weeks 😉).
Praying for all of you. ❤🙏
Love hearing the heartbeat . Continued prayers for the 3 of you .
Jessi I wish I could hug you! It's easy to see and feel your stress, which is completely understandable. Remember- this is truly out of your hands, and in God's hands. He is holding all of you close to Him, and you must have faith in that. You are doing everything you can do, and baby Pasini is feisty, strong, and doing so well! So thankful for that. Prayers for all of you continue. ❤
I was born at 26 weeks and weighed 1 pound 8 ounces in 1990. My parents said they were told I would have 20% chance of survival. I was in the NICU for several months to get bigger, but have had no problems except minor asthma.
My parents like yourselves had a long road to parenthood. It is so lovely as an adult to know my parents fought for me to be here. It is something I think of often and do not take for granted. It gives me faith and zest for life daily.
Us preemies are built differently! I’m sure your little boy will continue to fight. He is so blessed for be born to such lovely parents. Sending your hugs and prayers. ❤
🙏🏻 praying. You also should open a PO Box so people can send you letters of encouragement!🎉
And baby stuff!! I love shopping for babies ❤❤
I would so enjoy sending love and encouragement
Or they could do an Amazon wish list!
baby is slick. he said you not surveilling me 😆
Thank you as always for the updates. I generally don't watch shorts,but I've been watching yours. We are all out here holding our breath for you and praying that baby boy can "bake" a little more.
Also, PLEASE stay safe on the roads. Tennessee is supposed to get hit with major ice. Jesse is well taken care of in the hospital. Please don't risk your life on icy roads.
Speak life to the baby, say his name and say out loud what you want him to do...grow baby, you are perfect, you are a miracle baby, and I know it works, my grandson was never supposed to live and he's 2 now 😊😊😊, do not agree with any negative reports, I have and will continue to pray for all of you 😊😊😊😊 May The Lord Bless You and Keep You and Make His Face to Shine Upon You and be Gracious unto you and give you Shalom, nothing missing nothing broken, in YESHUAH'S NAME Amen
Mama is looking like an angel!! Super glowing. Love y'all so much.
You guys have the whole world praying for you myself most definitely included. We pray for you in our prayer group too. I know how incredibly hard and scary this all is and you’ve gone through so much to even get to this point but hang in there a little longer. You are in the absolute best and safest place for you & baby.The drs know what to worry about and how to prepare. Baby is doing well….every time his little feet kicked you consider it him motivating you to hang in there. Expect some bleeding will come but drs and nurses will make sure you and baby are ok. My cousin was in hospital 22 years ago for dealing with similar issues to what you are and gave birth to her son when he was only a pound and a half and he spent time in hospital til he developed and gained more but had no other delays. My cousin did have bleeding but drs got it under control & gave her more and she was ok with no longterm effects and now her son is 22 and 6ft 4 and healthy,athletic….in love and everything worked out well in the end. So hang onto that Hope too that this will all work out in the end and God is right there in your hospital room with you.Alessio did great hooking you up with Netflix. So just try to keep your mind and energy on other activities. Watch movies,talk to staff or other patients…keep knitting. Don’t think too far ahead. Just take things one day at a time. You’ve got this….you & Alessio and baby boy and your medical team and your extended family & friends and your social media family of followers and God….you’re certainly not in this alone.Sending you love,hugs and keeping you all in prayer…drs too♥️🤗🙏
You’re both so strong and I am praying for all three of you,.
Hi Jessie, I can see the fear in your eyes talking about the different risks, but please try not to worry. You are in such good hands and it’s so much better that you’re at the hospital than being at home, especially since Alessio said it took an hour for him to get there. I just wanted to mention that when I was born, back in February 1958, I was a month premature. I was 4 pounds when I was born and I was fine. I’m now almost 68. I had just the normal everyday illnesses that young kids had growing up. Nothing major was wrong with me with being a preemie. Now, a month is nothing compared to some babies that are born several weeks/months early and they have no health issues. Please try not to worry about your little boy. He sounds like he is very healthy right now and doing great. The less you can worry and cause stress, the better off for him and you keeping him inside of you. I know that’s easier said than done. You have so many thousands of people praying for you, so you will get through this. I know you mentioned your delivery date has been moved up a little bit. You said it could be the end of March beginning of April. You probably didn’t think about this but Easter is on April 5. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a baby born on Easter Sunday? I think it would be amazing, but I guess any day that you have a child is a great day. Easter is a pretty special day though. Relax and try not to stress. Everyone is praying for you and everything is gonna be fine. God’s blessings always. 🩵
Hey guys, you hang in there. Back in 2008 my mucus plug fell out without warning draining all my amneotic fluid and I rushed to the hospital at just shy of 34 weeks. They got me with the meds to speed up lung development and 2 days later we had the C-section. My boy was high and breech. He can out reluctantly and just under 3lbs. Spent 2 days in the NICU under observation and with lights no need for O2🙏 and then 3 weeks in the PICU as a feeder/grower. Here we are 17 years later and he's a handsome young man getting ready to pick out colleges. All 3 of you are in our prayers❤. Don't stress Jessie, just be present in each moment as you continue to create this beautiful new life. Take time to picture him born, safe, healthy and growing. Sending you lots of love and the very best intentions to manifest 34 weeks and a safe delivery with a healthy baby and mom 🙏📿♥️😘🙏
I raised my kids with an understanding that as soon as you are pregnant, you are a parent. This video documentary is an excellent example of the work, the worry, the challenge, the anxiety in being a mom and dad. Renenber, every day in utero is a good day! We are keeping up the prayers for your family.
I woke up the morning of Feb 15th and when I stood up my water broke everywhere! I yelled for my mom, told my husband to get up it broke and he told me no it didn't! My mom's reaction was oh there went the new mattress😂I was not due till April 1st. They kept me in the hospital on antibiotics for 5 days and he was delivered on the 20th, his big sisters 3rd birthday. He weighed 6 lbs 9oz , they said if he wothabe gone full term he could have weighed close to 13 lbs! He spent 14 days in the NICU, needed no help breathing just eating and jaundice. He is now almost 22 and waiting on his 2nd daughter to be born in May! He has always been the one child who was go go go and always hurting himself! At 14 he climbed a tree 40 ft in the air and fell and broke his L1&L2 and with a brace and a walking cast on his leg they stood him up and let him walk three days later! I keep telling him that no one defies death as much as he has and that God has a purpose for him so figure it out and get to it!
❤
During my fourth pregnancy in 2008-09, I was hospitalized in antepartum at Stanford (LPCH) for a month due to placenta percreta. As a case study for the condition, I was cared for by an incredible multi-disciplinary team that truly became family. I learned so much about Interventional Radiology, reading MRIs and ultrasounds (3D was new back then), anesthesiology, and about the resilience of preemies.
I underwent a five-hour C-section and hysterectomy while awake - I would NOT recommend!
The separation from my three older children (almost 9, 7, 6) was difficult, especially with H1N1 restrictions limiting visits to once a week and technology being in its early stages. However, our community rallied behind us. Our daughter, Melody, was born at 34 weeks weighing a strong 5 lbs 11 oz. We were lucky to be discharged together less than a week later!
Seeing her now at 17, thriving and healthy, makes every moment of that journey worth it.
Keeping you in my prayers. Thinking only good thoughts! Much love from a fellow accreta momma!
You're doing so well! Stay strong ❤
You can show this little trooper all the videos you’ve made documenting your pregnancy. Jessi, most expectant mothers worry throughout their pregnancy. I spotted and was a gestational diabetic with our first baby and I had preeclampsia with our second (last) baby. My doctor said some women are built to have many healthy pregnancies and others aren’t , you’re one that isn’t made to have lots of babies. I listened to him and had just two. You have even more reason to worry but the more positive you can be the better for your overall health. I KNOW how hard it can be. Just distract yourself whenever you start to feel down. Think of all the people around the WORLD praying for you, rooting for you, sending positive energy into the universe for you. You have a FABULOUS TEAM there for you 24/7. Just take care of yourself mentally and physically. Sending you love, big gentle hugs, prayers, positive vibes, every positive thing I can think of. Alessio is such an amazing person, a wonderful husband, and he’ll be a fantastic father. We love you guys!!! ♥️♥️♥️💐
You both are so strong. Just keep going! He's had two loving, courageous parents!
Praying for you and that sweet baby. I had to spend 2 weeks in the hospital with my first due to preterm labor and I recall how scary it was all the talk of survival rates and NICU procedures. I had to remain on bedrest for the last third of the pregnancy. It wasn't so bad at first because I was able to get a rest from work, but the boredom sets in pretty quickly. Fortunately, I made it to 38 weeks and everything turned out fine and I attribute that to my complete and total denial that it would turn out any other way. I'm usually a worst case scenario worrier, but taking an optimistic approach really reduced my stress. I still ended up needing a c-section because my baby got stuck (my pelvis was too small), but the c-section wasn't as bad as I had feared it would be. Recovery is faster than you would expect. And since you have a great husband, you'll have all the support you need until you're healed up.
It's Saturday! You arrived at another week. Hallelujah. Jessi, you have thousands of virtual hugs coming your way. God bless you both!
Hugs for Alesia too. He is not carrying their baby physically, but mentally he is there. He is such a good, loving support. So, a big group hug for all 3 😊
Hi there, I also had placenta previa with both my babies. My daughter was born 10 days before full term at 3.06kg. I was 23. I was pregnant with my son when I was 30. I started bleeding at around 9 weeks and goodness that sinking feeling is so relatable. This is a bit TMI, but I've never seen so much blood in my life. Turns out my placenta tore just a smidge thus the bleeding. I was in hospital for a week. I only had that terrible bleeding that one time. Baby was doing good. He was born 3 days before full term at 3.36kg. I feel blessed with happy healthy babies. I just wanted to send you positive vibes. Babies are so strong. I know we don't share the same pregnancies, but the previa rings the bell. You're fighting so hard. Someone once told me that the previa is something that can carry over from generations. Turns out my Gran had it as well with one baby. I had C-sections with both babies. I really had the best experience and healed so well. We can do hard things. Thank you for sharing. It felt like an old wife's tale when I had it and some people assumed I just had the C-sections for no reason. Happy 25 weeks. We'll be praying for you. ❤
That is amazing that they do fetal echocardiograms now. When I was a nurse they didn't do many echocardiograms or baby sonograms.😊
I had triplets 13 years ago at 33weeks and 6 days. In hospital at 28weeks, got the steroid shots. Docs told me (their opinion) every 1 day in utero is 3 days they take off the NICU stay. My trio weighed 4lbs 14oz, 5lbs 6oz and 5lbs 9 oz. Keep busy with relaxing crafts, have home comforts to make the bed bearable, eye masks and ear plugs for the non-stop lights and sounds, and make friends with your nurses! I still keep in my contact with mine after all these years. When I first got admitted they monitored me straight for 72 hours (imagine trying to catch 3 babies with three separate belly straps and your own heart rate). I totally feel for you having to do the monitoring twice a day for the rest of your stay. You and Alessio have done all you can and are in the best place. Trust in your Heavenly Fathers perfect timing in all things and your care team to guide you in all your decisions. Baby boy is going to be great! Hang in there, your doing fabulous 💙
Well, we know who is in charge there. 😂😂😂😂 Little dickens. ❤️
Please God I ask that you keep this baby safe, and Jesse safe. She is deserving of this miracle. Lord bless her with this miracle. I know youwill.
Every time you post a video, I pray for Jesse and the baby boy. That way I don't forget as the day goes on. We are all with you!
You got this sweet lady! Hang in there.
Congratulations on 25th week 💝💝💝💐💐💐💐💐💐💐Prayers for another 10 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had oligohydramnios and fetal growth restriction with my youngest baby and had frequent monitoring and he was the same way with the monitors 🤣 sooo many times a nurse would take 10 mins trying to get him on the monitor, give up and go get someone else, then that nurse would put the monitors in the same exact spot and he’d be right there. 🙈
He’s 13 months old now and still such a little stinker and has always been so full of personality. Sounds like your little guy has some spunk too!
Wishing you all the best in this journey. Sounds like you have great care where you are. I had babies at 35 and 36 weeks and neither needed the NICU, not even my low amniotic fluid/IUGR baby who came at 4lb 10oz. I was high risk for both and had pre eclampsia with both as well, but they’re healthy 13m and 3 year olds now.
You got this! 🙏
God bless the 3 of you, you beautiful, precious family! Jesus has all 3 of you in the palm of his hands, he's got you 🙏🏻✝️ And we've all got you, too. Praying for y'all SO much, literally around the clock! Do you guys have an Amazon "wish list"? Anything you need or any nice treats we could send you whilst you stay in HospHotel 😉🌈 xxx
Amen! 🙌🏻🙏🏻😊
Amen!
Amen
You two are amazing, keep strong! Continued prayers and positive thoughts 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Happy 25th week! Slow and steady wins the race. Sounds like the baby is cooking along and Jessi, you are staying as healthy as can be. Alessio...you are a rockstar! Prayers to all of you and your team at the hospital.
Happy 25 weeks! Just last week I ran into an 18 year old kid I used to teach who was born at 26 weeks. He’s healthy and thriving and totally “normal”. I remember praying for him a lot when he was born. It’s so possible! I am pregnant as well and have to deliver by 37 for my own complications and need ultrasounds weekly or biweekly. I feel such comradery with you! ❤
My prayers are still with all three of you, hoping things are going as well as possible! I have had some long hospital stays for different reasons in the past. I crochet and knit. I remember seeing Jessi crocheting in a recent video. I hope Jessi has some yarn and a crochet hook there! I bring my yarn and a project with me, and even ask friends to bring more yarn if I run out. Doing a handcraft like crocheting helps me feel more peaceful, and I think many others feel the same way. Sending lots of love and best wishes to you all from California!
Twice a day monitoring and he hates it 🤣
My first baby was the exact same, the second she noticed me laying in the "ultrasound, monitor or chord check" position she would let them get the monitor or probe nicely placed then move to the other side or make herself as small as possible in my pelvis (this resulted in many an embarrassing "let's try and move her" that included hip thrusts, rocking on all 4s, pretty much everything short of handstands 🤣 she is now 10 and still just as cheeky 😂
You've got this guys! You're doing amazing ❤ it's hard and scary now and it will continue yo be hard and scary until you're a few week out of the hospital and finally settled into life with him home but one day, 10 years down the line you'll look at him and remember every single second of your journey and realise just how strong you were ❤
You have many prayer warriors praying for you all! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
My Grandpa was very early born, after 7 months, before second war, so conditions pretty harsh in Poland on the verge of next conflict, and almost whole family was sure he would not survive. His was fed goats milk after born, he could not digest anything else, lived long and pretty healthy life. I am sure with today’s medicine all will be fine. Key to success is to be optimistic, stress is a major strain on any body. You do you and all will be fine ❤
I have a great aunt that was so small her bed was a shoebox. They used baby doll clothes for her and nobody expected her to survive past 75 days. I remember on her 75th birthday she said “well I’m still here!”
Jessi
I just came across your videos and they immediately took me back to 37 yrs ago when I was pregnant with my last child. I like you spent a long time in hospital. I went in at just before 24 weeks and my daughter was born at 36 weeks. I had placenta pre via and diabetes. I understand the stress and fear of never knowing when a bleed is going to happen. I would be fine one second then the next it was like someone turned on a tap. Try to keep your mind occupied and think happy thoughts. I was so filled with fear that I was afraid to think of a happy future with my baby. Don’t rob yourself of still experiencing the joy of pregnancy and the miracle of birth. Happy ending are very probable. My daughter is now 37 and just made me a grannie. She had twins!
God is good and you have an army of prayer warriors endlessly praying for you and baby boy! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
He's such an active little guy ❤ Sending love and healthy energy for you and our little lion cub🦁❤
Just a suggestion if you're looking for something to occupy your time, check out 'Big Bear Bald Eagle Cam 1' (there is also a Cam 2). This cam focuses on two eagles, Jackie (female - she laid her first egg of the year on Jan 23) and Shadow (male) and their nest. They are fascinating to watch!! Shadow will bring Jackie fish (because she does the majority of the nesting - Shadow will also nest, when Jackie needs a break and when she comes back Shadow does not want to leave, it's super cute!). You can also check out the video of Jackie laying the egg, when she has contractions, she makes this whistling sound (sounds like a tea kettle), then about 10 minutes after laying the egg, she calls out and Shadow comes excitingly to see the new egg. The gestation is about 35 days. Sending love, health, peace and comfort for the rest of your pregnancy and delivery. 💖
🦁 Lion strength! 🦁
Jessi, we are praying and believing that your stay is very productive and that baby boy gets stronger and stronger each day. We are standing in prayer with you to make it until 34 to 36 weeks and for your delivery via c-section to go smoothly with no complications and for a speedy recovery for you. Watching Sydney from Divine on the Road go through this and now seeing her PRECIOUS Tommy all over the place on her videos now brings so much peace and determination to pray and believe for you as you go week to week also!!! Try to relax as much as you can and know you have many covering you in prayer!
Praying everyday for the three of you! You are in a safe place! God Bless!
I'm praying 🙏 every day for the 3 of you.. I feel like some adopted aunt on the other side of the world ( new zealand 🇳🇿)..doing the countdown with you...I've never wanted a safe pregnancy for strangers sooo much...checking in constantly!!! 25 weeks now AWESOME..
PLEASE LORD WATCH OVER THIS PRECIOUS BABY AND JESS FOR A WONDERFUL DELIVERY..AMEN 🙏..
Kia Kaha ( keep strong)
Arohanuimai ( much much love) ❤️
Hang in there guys ! You got this !!
You guys have got this. Your baby is going to be healthy strong and about all LOVE. Not just from you guys but from ALL of your fans. May God bless you for a beautiful and healthy birth. Rest and do everything the doctors day. We Love you. May God bless you and your faily.
I don't know what it is about those monitors. Last pregnancy with our son was high risk, I also had gestational diabetes so I had to be monitored a lot. Our son hated those monitors so much . He was already very active but when those monitors were on he would kick so much to try and get it off. I also was like you Jessi. The monitors would show uterine irritation and the nurse would come in and ask me if I was ok, and I couldn't feel it at all. Same thing happened when I actually went into labor with him, the monitors would show really strong contractions early on and really close together and I didn't feel it. They actually had to give me meds to slow down the contractions because they were worried about abruption, only to have to give me medicine later in to speed up the contractions because it was too slow with movement. It was a rollercoaster. You guys got this! You're in the right place in the right hands! And little lion is a fighter and will be ok.
Happy 25 weeks!🎉 "Spicy/Feisty" is getting lotsa prayer and he will make it to your goal!!❤
Praying for you all! I had to move into the hospital before I had my daughter. She was only 2lbs 5oz. She is now a PERFECT and SMART toddler! I’m also only 2 weeks behind you with my second. Praying your little guy cooks as long as possible! Keep your head up. You’ve got this.
Praying for all three of you❤ For a healthy and safe pregnancy, a healthy baby and a safe birth🙏🏻🫶🏻
I love hearing your chuckles and seeing you smile! Chin up and rest- both of you!
My grandson was born two days after my birthday. So much fun🎉
I was born a month early way back in 1956! I'm sure you are in great hands. Thinking of you 😊
Birthday Buddies are fun❣️ Do you have a "joint party" or separate celebrations?
Prayers for all of you. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us so we can love you all from afar.
Praying for both momma and baby!
She looks so scared and worried. Have faith. Give her lots of hugs. It's such a frightening time bc you have no control. I had ultrasounds often in my 3rd trimester due to complications. It's reassuring to see the little guy. Hang in there. Find something to do to keep your mind busy and try deep breathing and meditation to relax your mind and body. It's such a stressful journey for you both. Remember to care for yourself and give yourself grace. The emotional stress from this may stay with you for a while. Find a close friend to talk to or a therapist. This may affect you more than you realize. Hold tight to one another. That's really the best medicine.
❤Second the therapist👍🏻
Jesus is the best therapist ❤talking outloud to Jesus is so pertinent ❤
Made me cry watching Jessi try not to cry at the end…..can’t wait for all your tears to be turned into happy ones when you get your hands on that sweet boy ❤
Me too! I agree, she needs some tears of joy. ❤
I’m so sorry you are going through this, but it sounds like you are both doing well.
I think you are actually fighting 3 battles. Obviously the health of you and your unborn son, but the third battle is a mental and emotional one: dealing with so much uncertainty. You have an opportunity here to really confront how to deal with what isn’t known. I know you have said in the past that Jessi can feel anxious, and that anxiety often comes from not being in control of what is to come. I feel like that is getting amplified here for a reason, for you both to find ways to let go of the outcome (as absolutely difficult that can be in this situation) and allow all of the good things to come in without them getting overshadowed by the possible bad things. And, of course as you know, the unknown doesn’t stop when baby is born. This feels like training to find a new way of being comfortable with the unknown.
I know it looks like a lot has the potential of going wrong, but you also have a LOT of things going right. Trust the good things going right. Hold onto that energy. You can’t worry enough to make bad things go away. Be present, enjoy the safety of being in the hospital where you are well taken care of, enjoy the experience of growing a brand new fantastic human, enjoy the rest you are getting and the opportunity to do some small things you enjoy.
My hope for you is that someday in April you will both look back on this trial and see that it all worked out and the difficulty is a distant memory.
Hang in there mom and dad and baby 🦁
Just some encouragement if your baby does come between 34-45. I didn't have what you do but had severe pre-eclampsia. Had to deliver my son at 34w3 day, he was in the NICU for 2 weeks and was a total rockstar! Preemies are strong even if there is. NICU stay involved! The shots that help their lungs do wonders! I had a scare with a subchorionic hemmorhage in the beginning that caused bleeding I know the feeling of being terrified of it every single time you use the bathroom, how scary it is to look down and hope that there is nothing! It's a trauma you never really recover from until that baby is safe in your arms! You are so strong and you are going to get through this! You two will have the most amazing baby boy!
Praying and also for your team. Also, your team was inspired and did the hard work to become the dedicated professionals who are truly dedicated to your son.
You are good parents. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I honestly feel your pain Jessie. I had full placenta previa with my second daughter. They spotted it early on at my first scan. I bled/spotted consistently. I had to go on every other day to the hospital to get monitored and for various other scans and checks. I was finally admitted in at 35 weeks, given steroids and stayed in hospital till the elective c section at 38 weeks. Everything was fine thank god. We went home several days later. This was all during COVID in the UK. So my husband wasn't allowed in the hospital at all, he wasn't allowed to do any scans or appointments either. He finally joined me during my delivery and was only allowed to stay 2 hours post delivery and then told to leave the hospital till in discharged. It was a traumatic experience for all of us. The constant worry and having to do it all alone. My heart goes out to you and I'm keeping my whole heart and soul crossed for you guys. Praying that everyone is well and you get to your goal date. The unknown is the WORST. Sending lots of love from the UK.
The COVID restrictions did not make sense at all. I am sorry for your experience but happy you had a healthy baby.❤❤❤❤
Wow that is insane. If he had been in there once, why was there a time restriction?? Makes no sense!
@lmw@lmw9321they did. And just to mention, it’s quite possible she did not have a private room in the UK. You can’t be coming and going amongst other vulnerable women and babies. At least it didn’t cost them anything eh?
Jessi, I wish I could give you a big hug! I feel your emotion as I'm also facing a C section for complete previa. I feel that anxiety every day looking for blood. I'm exactly one week ahead of you in gestation. So we're walking this together in a way! We're gonna make it through this! Love and hugs to you!
Prayers for him to stay in as long as possible and be born healthy
That God bless your family and light your paths
My daughter last January was delivered at 34+4 - she didn't need any NICU time & was healthy and strong from the beginning. Now already one year old 🖤 everything is possible! Hang in there guys! In a year your life'll be so sweet and the looooong time in the hospital will seem just like a moment.
Omg, I cannot be happier for you. I am pregnant with a second boy and I was so scared of everything with my firstborn. I had placenta previa and a little higher sugar, but not enough for diabetes. I thought the second one will be a piece of cake. So far, they want to treat me for diabetes and preeclampsia and they scared me with a possibility of some genetic issues with the fetus. I went throught the tests and it is clear so far. Still waiting for the final results, but ultrasound was great. I went through more stress than before and hope everything goes well. As for you too!!!! ❤❤❤
My firstborn was delivered the first day of 35th week by cesarian. He was a little smaller than others and slept so much that he could not latch long enough for my milk to be stimulated. Nursing was a ride and a lot of work, but we somehow made it. He is now beautiful, strong 2 year old with no health issues and runs like a proper Portuguese footbal player. ❤😂
My baby was born at 28 weeks ,in 78,2lb 6oz. Shes almost 48 ,masters degree, so in today's world, wow he'll do great, stay in there baby 😊❤
I had to do a NST 2x a week from 28 weeks on and ugh. It sucks having to sit there for so long and make sure he stays under the sensor but it’s because he’s so small. The older he gets the faster and easier it should go thankfully!
Stay strong mama!
Lion energy 🎉❤🙏
Happy 25 weeks! 🎉 I am sending the 3 of you positive vibes and prayers. I have been watching your channel for a while and just learned last week about your condition. Hang in there, one day at a time! I am also going through the same situation and it has been scary, but everyday that passes by is one more day of hope and another day achieved.
