Baby Update

So I had my latest doctor appointment Tuesday and it was my first time out of the house in 3 weeks! It was quite nice. But I was in a heck of a lot of pain afterwards.  Pretty much everything is the same. Nothing is worse which is good. And my cervical length actually got a bit longer. But since the baby isn't able to survive yet outside my belly I'm still on strict bed rest. I can leave to go lay down at someone else's house which I couldn't do before. But nothing else, in fact the doctor told me even sitting up wouldn't be good which I didn't know before. I'm just glad that nothing has gotten worse. My doctor just wants me to make it at least 4 more weeks. That seems like nothing now. Anyways thanks again to all of you that have helped us out! I am so grateful and appreciative!

Baby update

So some of you have heard already that I am on bed rest so I thought I would explain more details.  Saturday night I had some bleeding which pretty much freaked us out. It started tapering off throughout the night but then the cramps started. I had had pain a lot of the time the last couple of weeks anyways so the cramps didn't freak us out as much. The thursday before I had a really bad shooting pain that would stop me in my tracks but everything seamed alright so we thought it was growing pains. But when the bleeding started we ended up calling the doctor and he was worried about placenta previa and said you need to stay in bed. We waited Monday to hear what the doctors wanted me to do and I headed in Tuesday for another ultra sound. (This  was my 10th) Our little girl was perfect. They ended up doing the 20 week ultra sound since we had time and she is growing well and all her organs looked good. At the end Chris remember that the doctor had asked us to have the tech measure my cervical length since i was carrying this baby in my left, smaller uterus and it had a really abnormal cervix which nobody even noticed til my miscarriage over the summer. Anyways the cervical length is the distance from where the baby is to the opening of the cervix. A normal length is 3 cm. I measured at 2.2 cm. Red flag. There was also fluid collecting in the passage way. Another red flag. Which completely explains why I thought I peed the bed the other night. Some of that fluid made its way out and tadaa I thought I wet the bed or my water broke.  Well with the news of my shortening cervix it made sense why I have been feeling so much pressure and just plain weird.  The doctor said its bed rest for you and here I am in bed until little missy is born.  They also say I will have the baby early. Not only was I going to have the baby early cause my freaky uterus now its another problem too.   So miss Avery has been at the neighbors all week I miss her so bad! She's my little side kick. I am just laying in bed make up less in Chris's T shirts being board!  I'm counting down days til my due date and all I can say is I hope we make it past 28 weeks.
