Well I had my apt today. It is not what I wanted to hear, needless to say perfect was pretty far from converstations today.

At 12:30p I had my ultrasound with the highrisk dr and while the baby is doing great, weighing in at 2lb 4oz. However, while my cervix looks good and long, it is beginning to funnel. By this I mean it is beginning to open from the top. So Dr. Love has ordered me to bedrest, only able to get up to potty and short showers. After my apt with Dr. Love I had my 1 hr gloucose test, not sure how long it takes to get results back but of course I will let you know when I get them. At 2p I seen Dr. Powers, we talked about my visit to L&D on Sat and she said that the bleeding I had was from irratation from the yeast infection and she said I did the right thing by getting checked out. She said that while yes there is funneling, it is only down to the cerclage and the cerclage is holding it from going the rest of the way and my cervix is still nice and long. She said this also proves that I have an incompetant cervix and we knew that at some point it would start to do this. So now it is just a wait and see game as to what happens next. She sees me next week to check my cervix and I get my rhogam shot, yeah.

So basicly it is bedrest until I start to bleed from the stitch then they will remove it and put me in the hospital to keep a watch on me until this little guy comes. I want to go at least 3 more weeks so that I can be at MRMC and not St. Mary's. I can get up to go to the couch and lay down for a change of scenery. Fun, fun. I think I am gong to go insane.
