It's been awhile

We've had three doctor visits since I last wrote. One was right before Christmas and it was a great visit. My cervix length, we had checked by a different lady, who didn't say but I think it was around 5. I didnt post bc we celebrated Christmas early bc Andrew was working and my parents were visiting. Then last Thursday I had not been feeling well for a few days, so they had me come in. I had been cramping and thrown up a few times. She checked me and I was not dialated. Hooray!!!!Then we did a quick cervix check. It was around 4 I think (we were in a different room and I couldn't see) plus the little guy turned frank breech. It was his first position change we've seen. I knew he had been moving a ton after I was finished throwing up. He normally doesn't move very much at all. I guess he's just comfortable head down. Our doctor said she's fine with him head down at this point now. Oh, I must have just had some kind of bug, which is what Andrew thought. The doctor said I did need to come in and be checked just to be sure I wasn't in labor or progressing.

Today, I had to have a glucose test done this morning. I was super hungry and the drink made me feel alittle ugh... They said nothing to eat or drink after midnight. I packed me a snack bag though. I still missed a meal this morning and I guess I'll just eat two dinners to catch up. I'm up to 132 lbs. whoo hoo!! He's growing and so am I !! We had the finger stick first and I passed. Hooray! But my hemoglobin was low so now iron pills. I wasn't surprised. I've had to take iron pills multiple times before. Then my cervix check, it was a new machine in a normal exam room - so, I couldn't see the screen at all. I asked what it measured and it was 3.5 and he's head down again but i didnt even get to see. We'll do a growth scan on him next visit but doctor thinks he's fine. I'm measuring good on my belly. His heart rate was 138.

I also am going to get steriod shots for the baby's lungs today. I get 2 shots 24 hours apart. Andrews going to give me one this afternoon. Max benefit starts 48 hours after first dose. Hopefully, he stays in longer than that, I think he will.

We will be 28 weeks Friday!!!! That means third trimester and we've made it!!! Only 8 more weeks till cerclage removal!!! So far it's been 16 weeks of bedrest - ugh.... I'm ready to move again. I hope recovery is faster this time around since I am allowed to get water and make sandwiches. It's not much but still better than not being allowed to move at all like with Savannah. We have completed our second goal to make it to the New Year!!!!

Hope everyone is having a Happy New Year!!!
