New Plans

So, this morning, I had an ultrasound. We got both good news and bad news from this ultrasound.  Good news: Reagan is measuring larger than expected. Her estimated weight is 3 lbs today and she's measuring at 29 wks, 1 day, instead of the 28 wks, 3 days we are actually at. That's excellent in case she does decide to make an early entrance. Bad news: my cervix is thinner than it was on Friday. So here's the lowdown as I understand it: a normal cervical length for my gestational age should be about 4-6 cm. On Friday, mine was about 1.5 cm. Today, it is about 0.7-1 cm. What that means is that there's less resistance for her to go through to exit her current place of residence. We don't know my dilation, and they probably wont check it for a while (doing so can cause contractions to start back up, and we don't want that). I'll be getting ultrasounds every few days instead. So what all this boils down to is that I won't get to go home anytime soon. We met the maternal-fetal medicine/high risk ob doctor today. He was awesome. But when he learned my ultrasound results, he told me that, basically, I'm going to be here in the hospital for approximately the next 4-6 weeks. It's a little disheartening, but whatever we have to do to keep Reagan healthy, that's what we'll do! So, here I am, sitting in a hospital bed (oh yea, I'm on bedrest-I can get up to the bathroom, but then right back to bed!), trying not to think about how long the next 4-6 wks will be! Lot's of computer time! Lots of tv time! Lots of magazines (thanks to all who've brought some by!! I will have plenty of time to read them all!!)!  If anyone plays "words with friends", please let me know so I can start up a game with you! LOL!! We're going to stay positive and happy and know that Reagan and I are in the best place we can be with all the given circumstances. We appreciate all the love and prayers! God is Good and He is listening. We have had great nurses and doctors, and will continue to be blessed in this journey!! I'm going to watch a little tv for now and maybe take a nap! Will update again soon! Love you all!
