Wednesday, July 8th

My weekly doctor appt went GREAT. Dr. Gourley was so happy with my cervix measurement today. He kept saying, "This is great." So that makes me happy. I am unchanged from two weeks ago. All your prayers are working!! (Thank you)

We are going to discuss my c-section date at my next appointment. Tentatively, it's scheduled for Friday, Sept 4th but the doctor doesn't think I'm going to make it that long. But maybe my cervix will stand TOUGH! :-0

On a side note, I am starting prednisone today (40mg for a week; then taper by 5mg each week; 8 weeks total) for my ulcerative colitis that has been flaring since mid-May. I have NOT wanted to take steriods and have been putting it off for the last two months but I cannot continue to live like this. Dr. Gourley said that the prednisone does not cross over into the placenta but it still makes me nervous. So put my on the prayer list for that now. God won't give me anything I cannot handle.

My next appointment is Wednesday, July 15th @10am.
