Bedrest Day 22&23 (Monday/Tuesday)

Sorry for my lax blogging, but always assume that an absence of entries is because things are nice and boring. I don't mean to make anyone worry, and rest assured that if things start going crazy, I'll blog about it!

I had a surprise ultrasound Tuesday. I say surprise because I thought we were skipping it this week, but apparently not. My cervix is stable at 2.2-2.4. This is a horrible measurement overall, but great considering it could be getting shorter. So we continue to take one day at a time. Buggy looked good on ultrasound and was smacking his lips. Not so cooperative for photos, though.

I'd be lying if I said this experience wasn't a bit like 'Groundhog's Day' in that most every day feels exactly the same. It's been gorgeous here lately so I have been able to spend time on the patio reading, which definitely helps pass the time. We're getting close to 28, which feels huge and important, though we clearly want Buggy to continue baking until 2010.

Glad things are going okay. Wishing for that 28 weeks to get here and then quite a few more after that. I did go back and read Cayden's story, and just wanted to say that he was a adorable little guy and what a fighter. I wish he was here with you.

Thanks for the tip about the progesterone suppositories... I've already been getting the shot though, and it's not so bad actually.

Hoping things continue to go well!

Oof, I'm not surprised it feels like Groundhog Day, you are enduring it very gracefully, Paige.

Glad to hear that Buggy's doing well, perhaps he'll be in a posing mood next u/s!

less than 100 days to go on your counter! that's awesome. and since 37 weeks is full term, it's really closer to 75 days. hm, i guess that is still a lot. but you are doing great and making so much progress. i'm sure you'll be bored to tears soon, but i'm glad that your body has taken to the bedrest so well and that you are getting so much care. hang in there! xo
