26-11-2008 - -1 station!!!! 3 more days left...

My mood while writing this blog: AHHHHHHHHHHH

I was very apprehensive today about my dr appt to the point that I packed for the hospital. Friday was hard as I was contracting and having bad cervical pains from the pressure and I had back pains which I was convinced was back labor. Called the hospital and they said to relax and drink plenty of water. So I did. I actually slept almost all day long every day since then to try to keep uterus quiet. I guess it worked because today at my appt I found out that I was still dilation 1 and 90% effaced BUT the baby had dropped 2 more stations to a -1. That is through the pelvis!

I figured she had dropped more because I nearly woofed down a whole cheese pizza to myself the other night and I was wondering how I was able to eat so much. Amazingly I haven't gained any weight though this past week. Dr says the baby is well around 6lbs now so she is more than healthy to bring home!

So to keep it easy until Saturday when the stitches come out....... I hope I will be able to stay down tomorrow at Thanksgiving dinner! I will just have all my family wait on me!

I watched a program on the news lastnight about preemie babies and the rise in Utah. the Dr that performed my cerclage was on there and he spoke of how frequently he deals with preemie babies. I was so in shock to see him! I started crying half way through the story because of a couple losing their twins and thought that I could have been there. That could have been me. Had I not been in the right place at the right time, my angel could have been in heaven right now instead of in me. I am so grateful. That dr as well as my OB saved my baby's life in my eyes. I truly have been blessed! Thank you to all out there for your endless support. And to those of you going through this as well, there is light at the end. Have faith!

I hope to meet my angel this saturday in my arms! For that I am eternally grateful.
