made it another day

sometimes it feels like time goes by so slowly now. the afternoons are the worst, so long and drawn out. right now i feel better because my husband is home and he and my mom are watching tv in the other room, so i feel safe and comfortable and less anxious than usual.

this afternoon was a little rough, i started feeling crampy and called the doctor. they had me come in and do some monitoring. baby's heartbeat was good, but still a lot of mini contractions on the monitor which they called irritable uterus. they checked my cervix and all was well - still 4 cm and closed. the doctor said that as long as my cervix stayed that way the small contractions were ok. so that was definitely reassuring and i felt a little silly, but i figure that it is way to early for the baby to be born, so better to be safe than sorry!

the other good news is my weight is back up. somehow i managed to drop a few pounds in the hospital while on bed rest.  i felt very frustrated by that and i'm much happier now that i'm on the up and up!

now, to make it to sunday's 26 week mark and then to tuesdays appointment!
