Moving Forward

It appears that my pregnancy is progressing forward. I went in for my check-up today and I am dilated to 2 centimeters. It's exciting to think that I've started to dilate but I still have 8 centimeters to go...and that could happen within hours or weeks even. So now it's just a waiting game.

My doctor suggested that I stop taking the Terbutaline (the medicine to stop my contractions) since I'm starting to dilate. I took my last pill at 1:00 this afternoon and it lasts about 6 hours. So I'm kind of nervous to see what happens tonight after dinner. I wonder if I'll start to get contractions again, or if they have subsided for a while.

I also had a NST and the baby looked really good. She was moving around a lot, and her heart beat did everything it was supposed to when she moved. Yeah!

I have my next appointment on Thursday with the high risk doctor first (to measure the baby through an ultrasound) and then with my own doctor for a NST and a regular check up.

I'll keep you all posted!

Be sure to get your votes in (if you haven't already) for the baby's birthday, weight, etc!!!
