Cerclage is tomorrow. I'm actually excited because I know it is the best thing to do. We had an ultrasound last Thursday to measure my cervix length and it was great 4.22. That's what it's supposed to be. We also got to see little bit jumping around. It was wiggling and dancing all over the place. The ultrasound tech had a hard time catching the heartbeat bc it was moving so much - it was 172. The other twin was completely vanished. There was no trace of it. Doc said it happens a good bit just most people don't have ultrasounds that early to detect them. So, if we hadn't had ultrasounds until now -we would have never known.
Doc said I need to take my ECAT heart monitoring system off. She said I'd freakem out if I showed up with it on :). Plus I'll be monitored anyway. It a nifty device - it monitors every 10 mins. Regardless and anything it thinks out of the ordinary or if I hit the record button. Well, I haven't had to record anything yet but savannah has hit the record button a couple of times. They always call the device to check on me and I have to tell them false alarm :). Oh and I requested new ECG pads because they were making awful itching spots. The new ones aren't much better but they are easier to remove.
Surgery is at 12:30 and then I'll be released as soon as I recover. A few days of bed rest then real light duty. I go back Sept. 21 to see how things are going.
