update time

Quick update! Yesterday i had another dr appt in the morning and went to the high risk dr in the afternoon. Both appointments went well. My cervix was 3cm thinned, which is a little thicker then last week. She checked me and i was still 1 cm dilated. I had a FFN test which was negative. This is the test that shows with a 75% chance I will go into labor in the next 2 weeks. So that was negative which is great. The high risk dr just affirmed everything we had been doing. He did an anatomy ultrasound and estimated her weight to be 3lbs 3oz. Which is really good. He also told me to start on my meds again for the contractions. With everything cardiac wise being negative and since i am still having contractions and it made my day easier being on it he said to start it back. i dont have to wake myself up to take it ... but see how it goes. I think a lot of my palpitations has to do with stress ... i had them the entire time i waited in the dr office and was hot then i went back and it was gone ... they have been a lot less recently which makes things a lot more comfortable.  I dont go until next wednesday so hopefully we wont have any updates until then. Friday is the 30 week mark!!!

Above is a pic of hunter when he was on the potty before bath. He gives us those eyes when he starts to go potty. Like he surprises himself. its really cute. He is getting better on the potty but still isnt too too into it yet. He will get it eventually i think if i could do more it might be easier for him to catch on but thats ok. We have been asking him lately what his baby sister likes .... like ... does baby sister use a cup or a bottle ... bottle he says ... does baby sister use a snuggly or a ghnn ... that is what he calls his other snuggly ... he said to us ... no its hunters snuggly and gghhnn. So we explained to him we had to go to the store and buy her a pink one ... and he says ... yeah ... we have to buuuyy some. Wish you could hear him says it he emphasizes buy ... He no longer has a paci around anywhere ... well he already said its hunters blue paci ... we have to buuy some for baby sister from the red ball store (target). :O) even though he doesnt have his blue paci ... he just remembers it and sees it in pictures sometimes :o)

  1. Hi there ~ My name is Amanda Lazaro, and I’m a member of the public relations team that raises awareness for the fetal fibronectin (fFN) test. I read your blog with interest and thought you might like to learn more about the test. Check out www.fullterm.net, and feel free to include the site as a link on your blog so that readers can access the information. Also, just so that you know the fFN test is 99 percent accurate.

    Additionally, if you're interested in helping spread awareness about the benefits of the FullTerm Test, please contact me by emailing fullterm@schwartz-pr.com. My team generates stories about the benefits of the test among women at high risk for delivering early in national, local and online outlets. In the last few months we've secured stories in Working Mother magazine, the FitPregnancy Blog and the Boston Parent's Paper. Most recently we secured the following article on the popular pregnancy and parenting website iParenting.com: http://tinyurl.com/cuwwqw.

    We're always interested in speaking with women who had the test and are willing to share their experience to make sure other, at-risk pregnant women know there is a test available to help predict premature birth. Also, if you have a Facebook profile, please join the “FullTerm, The Fetal Fibronectin Test” fan page to help spread the word about prematurity and the FullTerm Test.
