OB Appointment

Sorry I am just now posting my update. I haven't felt very well today. Happy to say my appointment went really well. My doc is VERY impressed with how well I'm doing. My cervix is still above 5 cm which is wonderful! It's staying closed - so the cerclage is doing it's job. All three babies heartbeats were in the 150's......so that is good too. My blood pressure was better than last time and I'm having very minimal swelling. I had to take my wedding rings off last week........or someone would have had to cut them off!! I will go back next week for my blood glucose test - and oh boy, does that orange stuff you have to drink look mighty tasty! ha ha. I am praying that turns out good.

She did tell me today that if my cervix stays above 3 cm by the time I am 28 weeks along, the chances of preterm labor significantly drop. That was reassuring. Only 4 more weeks to go until my 28 week goal.

My mother in law and sister in law are coming for a visit tomorrow. I'm very excited to see them, it seems like it's been forever since I've seen them!

oh yeah.....I almost forgot........I ALMOST beat Brian in Scrabble last night. That counts for something right? I wish someone would just LET me win. LOL He came up with a 52 point word!!!! I can't think of what word it was off the top of my head.......what a turd. I think he cheated.

That's all for now. Just going to watch tv the rest of the night. Maybe I can catch an episode of Kate and Allie : )

Excellent news!

Doctors to cervix: You're incompetent!

Cervix to doctors: Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?


A 52-point word?! I'm so impressed! We need to have a 3-player tournament soon. Maybe this weekend? I'll bring you some of the chicken soup I made this week - could be the best batch ever. THOOP!

And about the names...I tried to vote twice and got an error. Did you block me? Just kidding - I finally did vote - third time was the charm. Also scored 1000 points on The Office game! Surprised? Someone beer me a life!
