Today was a wild day, Scooter and Jodie came to help get the boys to science class and to get me to the doctor, while Kierstin came to keep Miss Ivey. It takes a village! I was a bit nervous to go to my appointment, every other appointment I've had in the past week has sent me to the hospital. But, this one went very well.
First, they did an ultrasound to check Olive's growth and to see what size preemie we would be dealing with. She is right exactly on target, 55th percentile, measuring 5lbs 3oz! Her head was so low that the ultrasound tech had a very hard time getting a head measurement. Looks like she's still at +1. Everything with baby looked fabulous!
My cervix hasn't changed since I was at the hospital, which is fabulous. I'm at 2cm. The midwife decided to keep me on the Procardia for a while longer, so I now have enough to get me to 36 weeks, if that is even possible. I'm supposed to stay on strict bedrest until 34 weeks (Saturday), and then I can be on a modified bedrest, meaning no housework, lifting, or anything, but I can move around and sit with people instead of laying in the bed. That will last from Saturday until I reach 36 weeks or I deliver, whichever is sooner.
Now, I just have to keep laying here, letting people take care of things. This may sound great, but it's pretty hard to do! I keep thinking of things I want to do or need to do. It was a lot easier to be on bedrest back when I didn't have other children!
