New Possibilities

So a little bit has happened since my last blog entry. Yesterday, I had an ultrasound. We got good news from that. My cervix has "thickened", so to speak, and is now measuring 1.1-1.5 cm! Yay!! Well, today, when the doctors came in, they discussed this with me and discussed the possibility of me getting to go home today. I have been stable since on the procardia pills, and that has kept the contractions away for the most part (yes, I have had a very occasional ctx, but nothing like last weekend). I thought about this possibility, and while it excites me to think of going home on bedrest rather than being in the hospital on bedrest, I'm also very nervous about risks and don't want to put Reagan in any more risks than necessary. So I discussed this with the doctors, and I'm going to stay here a little bit longer. I'm hoping that they will get another ultrasound maybe Sunday or Monday and, as long as I'm stable or better than the last ultrasound, then I'll feel more comfortable going home. Of course, we have awesome family and friends who will be willing to stay with me and be on standby in case anything happens (thank you all!!). I'm looking forward to seeing what next week holds for us! I'm 29 weeks today, by the way! It's so great to know that I made it another week, when we really thought we would meet little Reagan last Friday! Anyway, I'm here at least through the weekend, but its great news to know that there are other possibilities on the horizon for us!
