I had my 35 week appointment this morning. Frankie is doing great. Unfortunately, the doctor would not allow any increase in activity for me. I have to stay on bedrest for now because my cervix has started to shorten again. While I have reached a point where if labor starts, the doctors will no longer stop it, they prefer I make it a little bit longer. The doc estimated Frankie needs another week to week & a half to measure where the doctor would like. Turns out there is a high correlation with the size of the head and the maturity of the lungs. Frankie's head measurement is 3 mm away from his lungs being fully matured. I have started to have real contractions but they are not regular so no need to be alarmed yet. Hopefully they will hold off until at least next week!
Last week, I had visitors for lunch twice! It was so nice to see friends and co-workers and have tasty food! The week seemed to go by so much faster! I finished the main part of my cross stitch. All I have left is Frankie's name and birth information.
This week, I am hoping to shop for a ceiling fan and curtains/blinds for the nursery. I have had trouble making any decisions online but I would like to get the nursery done so I may not have a choice!
I wish I could be there to help! Let me know if I can do anything, even from afar.
ReplyDeleteIt appears all my prayers for you to make it to at least 36 weeks are going to come true! Stay on your butt girl :):)
Give Frankie a little rub for me :D
SO happy Frankie is staying put! :) But try to keep him in there a bit longer, or else Chris may never come home if he has to experience labor 2x over in a matter of weeks! ;)
