Ultrasound today

Well we weren't going to have an ultrasound today originally but the doc changed it because of an issue I had. Everything looked not just good but great. Cervix measured over 5 and no funneling :). Hip hip hooray . We also got to see little bit hanging out - heat rate was in the 160's but it wasn't wiggling as much as the other times. We could see it's little bitty arms and legs kicking around. Its measurements were right on. I guess it one good perk about being high risks is being able to actually watch the baby grow and change.

I'm on modified bed rest now. She said no trips to walmart or anything like that and when at home I should be sitting/ laying around. Pretty much not doing anything but making sandwiches or getting drinks. She said most pregnancies tend to behave the same and since i was in full trouble at 18 weeks last time- it will probably be a critical time for me again. That's why with everything still looking good I have to be extremely careful. Savannah is having a very hard time with me not being able to pick her up. It's hard for me too.

I go back in three weeks for another ultrasound and I'll start getting progestrone shots weekly. They are supposed to keep my uterus from contracting. I really hope so because I had more than my fair share of them last pregnancy.

The lady at checkout had to call the back about a date and she said Lesley with the twins. My paperwork/file still had tiwns listed on it. They obviously told her one was gone and her face was shocked. She said she was going to get them in the back for not telling her. We told her it was okay - I think she felt bad but we were not bothered by it. We know we lost one.

We are getting excited next visit we'll be almost 16 weeks :). So exciting!!! We are praying my cervix keeps on holding and the baby keeps on growing.

  1. I am so happy it is going well so far! I hope everything still stays closed, even at 18 weeks and beyond. Give your sweet girl a hug from us. The next few months might be hard for her, but she will be a great big sister!
    Miss y'all a lot!
