A week late

I’m only about a week late writing this. Last Monday I had my weekly sonogram to check my cervix’s lining. My cervix has thinned out more leaving only 1 cm left. The good news is that the funneling has slowed down. Instead of the cervix widening, it’s just opening up like a small string. I was able to dodge the hospital once again. My doctor is doing everything he would have done if I was in the hospital. One of the things was bringing back the progesterone injections. At least this time it’s once a week, and yes, the lump is back. He also gave me two doses of steroids for the baby’s lungs. Lastly, the doctor put me on another medication to help keep the uterus quiet. Between all the medications, I have not had any contractions in about 5 days.

We did get a peek at the babies at my appointment. Baby A is 2 lbs. 13 oz. and baby B is 2 lbs. 10 oz. They are growing perfectly and were practicing their breathing for after they are born. It was so neat to see them. My IM is also coming to town on Thursday to get a 3D sonogram of the babies and to register at the hospital. I’m really looking forward to seeing her. I also go back to the doctor tomorrow to check my lining and get another shot of progesterone
