Bedrest

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I went to the specialist last Friday 2/1 and my cervix had not changed, however I went back to the specialist today and my cervix changed to 1.5 before pressure and 1.2 after pressure. The ultrasound tech applies pressure to my belly which is suppose to simulate what happens to my cervix during a contraction. The good news is I'm still not funneling/dialating and my fFN test today was also negative. The bad news is Dr. BK said no more work total bedrest. So I asked him to explain exactly what I can do, basically I don't have to lay in the bed, I can sit on the couch, just limt my standing to only going to the restroom and taking a shower. This is very disappointing news since I was working on a very important implemenation project at work and now someone else has to pick up where I left off. I am 31 weeks tomorrow and our next major goal is 34 weeks, Dr. BK explained they become less worried after the 34th week.

Little Abigail is still doing fabulous the ultrasound tech said she has a small waist but long legs and fingers (this comes from Christopher's side, everyone knows how short my family is). Her estimated weight is 3lbs 8ounces and she is expected to gain 4-6 ounces each week going forward. Christopher and my dad are going to the babystore tomorrow to pick up the baby furniture and we can begin putting her room together. I go back to my regular dr on Thursday and the specialist on Friday, so i will check in after those appts.
