So with all of the emails bouncing back and forth I thought that it may be easier to just create a blog that I could update so that I didn't leave anyone out of the loop as to what's going on. So, in the event that this is the first time you're hearing that something is going on...here's the brief version.
Obviously my Doctors have kept a close eye on me with this pregnancy based on Jake's early arrival. I had an appointment on Friday, April 10th for a scan of my cervix length and they found that my cervix length had shortened. This is a sign of pre-term labor. I wasn't in labor or anything, but they referred me to the perinatal team (high risk specialists) for a consult and eval. I was admitted to the hospital on Friday and I've been here ever since. Since Friday I've received my steroid shots (these are for the lung development of the baby) and a progesterone shot, and I'm on daily doses of Procardia (to prevent contractions).
I will be here until this baby arrives I believe. I will most likely have weekly scans on to get a measurement on the cervix length. Other than that it's me getting up to go to the bathroom and shower...
The baby is doing just fine. She is quite the mover and very active.
Obviously we don't know what each day brings so pray for quiet and boring days for us!
I do want to say thanks to all of you for coming and visiting and bringing goody bags and books, magazines. I really appreciate it.
I'll try to update this to keep you all informed.
