Bed rest update and girls June birthday party...

Bed rest hasn't been quite as bad as I thought it would be, we are now 3 weeks in with 3 to 4 weeks remaining, lots of couch time these days.

Last week we got a positive on our FFN test. A negative test (which is what we want) means we have a 99.6% of not going into labor within the 2 weeks following the test. A positive test means our chance of going into labor increases to 1 in 7... luckily that is still a low percentage but a negative result would put my mind at ease!

My doctor went ahead and let us stay home this past week even with the positive FFN, however, we have a sonogram on Monday and if the sonogram shows that my cervix has shortened from our last measurement 2 weeks ago I go straight to the hospital for the next 3 weeks of bed rest. At this point we are at 30 weeks and 4 days, our ultimate goal is 35 weeks but 34 weeks will put us out of most developmental dangers. Every 2 weeks starting at 30 weeks gives us less time in the NICU and increased baby development.

Last weekend Lauren came in town from Houston for my baby shower and on Friday we had a birthday party at our house for all our June birthday girls... everyone turned 30! Finally, catching up with me!
