Wednesday, June 17th

Just got back from Dr. Gourley's office. It went well ~ I have bought myself another week!! :-) That makes me happy.

He checked my cervix and it is still closed--GOOD. He could tell by the test that it is not any shorter than last week. YAY!

My big tests are coming next Wed. This is where I complete the gestational diabetes test (drink a sugary liquid) and then they test my blood after one hour. I will also do the FFN (fetal fibronectin) test again to see if I have that protein in my cervix. Dr. Gourley said we will be doing this test every two weeks. If it is ever positive, it is an early indicator of premature labor. And the last test will be an ultrasound to check the length of my cervix. If the length measures shorter, that's when I will be on a heavier dose of bedrest.

More bed rest (level two, three or four) could be in my near future or I could continue this pregnancy with my level one bed rest, just as I have been doing. I hope for the latter. :-)

Next appt is Wednesday, June 24th @ 9am.

Keep praying for us. I need to crock pot -slow cook this baby for 87 more days!!!
