28 weeks

On Friday I will have survived 4 weeks of bed rest. The first two weeks were the hardest, but it has gotten easier and easier. James has adjusted and has gotten used to our little routine. I have been doing a lot of reading, tv watching, and playing around on the computer. Thanks so much to everyone who has made meals, sent cards, e-mailed, and called. The little things really do matter and make the day go by faster.

My appointment went really well today. My cervix has held steady at 2.8 cm (5 weeks in a row). Obviously the bed rest is working and I have been doing a good job taking it easy. She is measuring about a week ahead and weighs 2lbs 11oz. I was hoping to get off bed rest at 3o weeks but today the doctor we saw said it would be at 32 weeks. 2 weeks sounded a lot better than 4 but it is well worth it in the end. He also advised us that we still take it week by week.

Sorry for the lack of pictures.... I need to get Gray to take some!

26 Weeks

I was 26 weeks on Tuesday. We had a great doctor's appointment! My cervix continuted to measure 2.8 cm which was no change than the previous week or the measurement at the hospital. Exactly what we were hoping for!!! She weighs 1lb 14 oz and continues to be healthy! I will have appointments every Tuesday until I reach 30 weeks.

I am still on strict bed rest but the doctor said that once a week I could ride to someone's house and lay on their couch for a change of scenery. He said that I needed it for "mental health"! We also got to go out to eat at a restaurant!!! It felt so good to be "normal" for a day!

I have only gained 3.4 lbs in 26 weeks and still not showing too much! I feel great except I am having some headaches and its hard to sleep at night. I'm sure the sleeping is an issue because I am lounging around all day. I have joined a few mom groups online and it is so nice to talk to other people who are also in my situation!
