Better today. Yesterday was a different story

Well, today is a better day for me. Yesterday, not so much. So I went for my ultrasound yesterday. We had been hoping that my cervix had stayed stable, and that I might be able to go home on bed rest. But unfortunately, my cervix is at it's thinnest since all this has been going on. It was very hard for me to deal with. I really tried not to get my hopes up about going home, but that's hard to do! Especially with my back getting very achey from this hospital bed, and the fact that I'm really missing Mugsy. I know he's being taken care of wonderfully by Buddy and MaryJo, and that he's happy as a clam, but I still miss him. (On a good note, they are planning on bringing him up here and Mike will wheel me downstairs in the wheelchair so I can see him for a few minutes on Thursday!) I was just so frustrated because I didn't know why this is happening. I've stuck with my bed rest just like they've told me, only getting up to the bathroom then back to bed. Why is my cervix thinner now? Does this put Reagan at risk? I'm not having any contractions any more, so what's causing my cervix to thin even more? I've had a couple of different doctors covering for my regular doctors for a few days, which I totally understand, but I look forward to tomorrow, when both of my regulars will be back. What I do know about all this, is that I am not getting to go home. I get to stay here, at least for a while longer, in the hospital on bed rest. When I got back to my room from the ultrasound yesterday, I cried. A lot. Mike was at work, unfortunately, but he was wonderful. He called me and talked to me a lot. And he called in reinforcements! I had called my mom already, but he called and texted his mom and my mom to have them come up here as soon as they could. MaryJo was the first one here, and I didn't even know she was coming. My mom and dad were not far behind. And my sister came up later, after work. I was a basketcase yesterday. It was a great help having family come spend time with me. I don't know what I would do if we didn't live so close to family. So now today is a better day. I wish I could go home, but I know that this is where I need to be. And I'm okay with that. Whatever it takes to keep my precious baby girl healthy! She just keeps acting like she wants to make an early appearance! She's already a diva!! So, that's where we are today with everything. I'll continue to keep you all posted on progress, trying to post daily, but some days are a little harder than others. Love to you all, and thanks again for all the prayers and support.
