So regular appointment on Thurs. turned into a whirlwind. When I went to see the doctor only two short weeks after my previous appointment, my ultrasound indicated quite a difference in the length of my cervix in just those two weeks. Enough to be concerned that I would go into preterm labor if they didn't do something quickly.
Dr. Cox scheduled a procedure to stitch my cervix until the baby is healthy and ready to be born. The procedure was short and easy and all is well. I had my first spinal - that was interesting. I couldn't feel my legs for several hours. I am very thankful that the Doctor is watching me so closely and that this was even an option.
Layden is resting peacefully and so am I. We knew that God was taking care of us and anxiety was not an issue.... We prayed for the wisdom and skilled hands of the doctors to do what they needed to do. Best part, I feel no pain now. I expected discomfort for a bit, but nothing. I am actually back to work on the Monday after the procedure.
Leland went shopping for me yesterday - got me some pants that fit and some cute tops... He did good. Some of it is going back just for practical/frugal reasons. I know that I will need to shop again when I am bigger and the clothes will need to be warmer. So, I just needed to get through this little transition period. Although its becoming more and move obvious that I can't fit in regular clothes. Garage sales are a blessing. My friend Elyssa ran into a good one and got me a bunch of maternity clothes from that and I am wearing a really cute outfit today. Comfortable. That's the key.
Update on Dexter: well, fortunately for us, he has that very important appointment this week- snip snip. We hope it will calm him down a bit, in more ways than one. I mean, its not a good thing to walk in on the dog "showing love" to our cat! Its just not right. Just not.
Got lots going on..but gotta take it easy greasy.
More to come....
