Can you say 20 weeks? Wow, I can't believe I am at the half way mark...it has been a long road here...but it went by fast. How is that possible? That seems like an oxymoron huh? When I was admitted to the hospital after I got my cerclage at 13 weeks...I was like, how in the hell am I going to make it to 28 weeks? (For those of you that might not know, I was admitted for about 5 days for IV antibiotic after I got my cerclage b/c I got some sort of infection from the surgery) Well I have been on modified bed rest for almost 8 weeks...and now I have another 8 weeks to go...until I can breathe easy.
As an update, my doctor ended up seeing me at 11:30 PM last night...man my doctor works hard...don't get me wrong, I am glad she works so hard...she did a scan on me (an ultrasound)...and said my cervix was closed. PRAISE THE LORD! I was surprised that it was closed to tell you the truth, b/c of all the cramping I was having. She did say that it looked a little thin, but that the stitch was tight and "we are good". These words coming from my doctor means alot...she will never tell you something if it is not true, which I have come to really appreciate now. So my attitude now is that at 20 weeks with Kaylyn, I had basically no cervix...now with Milli I am 20 weeks, I have some cervix, and I have a "tight" stitch...I think those are all good things.
My brother has been helping out alot since I have been in the hospital...he brought his good old sister some freebirds and some trashy magazines...what more could I ask for?
