I had another very good doctor's report today. I wasn't very optimistic going in because I have been fairly active the past week, and I've also been having some more contractions - not to mention crazy backaches. BUT, the ultrasound showed that my cervix was 36 mm long and firmly shut. I am now 25 weeks and 2 days. At this point with Lily, my cervix was 26 mm and softer. Thank goodness for progesterone. It seems to be the miracle drug for me. It doesn't stop the contractions, but I do think that I have less than I did with Lily and that it must make my cervix stronger. I still can't go crazy with a lot of physical activity, but I do have more confidence now. I've already made it 5 weeks longer than I did with Lily not on besrest. Now, I'm shooting for the whole pregnancy. Wow, what would that be like?!
I am so thankful to everyone for all of the prayers and kind thoughts. I feel truly blessed to have so many special people in my life.
