Our Little Princess: Weekly Update

March 11
I asked Dr. Wheeler to make it good news today because the family needs some after my sisters bad news. He looks at the ultra sound and said, "yup you get good news again. You are quietly going to make it, you have gone from a one pound baby to a three pound baby".

Dr. Wheeler checked my cervix and said, "well you're still funneling really bad, but its been bad the whole darn pregnancy! It isn't getting any worse though." They are still giving me weekly progesterone shots to hopefully keep it this way.

He thought he was going to start me on my steroid shots (to mature her lungs) today, but after checking my cervix decided we can keep waiting.

I am 29 weeks 2 days along. He said if he can get me to 32 weeks he's "not quiting, but we'll be in good shape". He also said that once Easter is over he will be pretty confident she will be ok.

Today they are also doing my 28 week labs to test for gestational diabetes. This is a routine check, I didn't have it with Jack, so hopefully I won't have it with this one. I drink a sugar drink and wait an hour for them to draw my blood. I am currently waiting for my hour to be up so I thought I would give my update while I waited. I will give the results of the blood work once I know.
