15 Month Check UP...and Week 3 of Bed Rest..

Well Ava had her 15 month check up last weekend and here are her stats:

Weight: 21 Ibs 4 oz.- 50th % (still adjusted age)

Height: 30 in. 75th % (adjusted age)


The Dr. also said it looks like Ava is getting some molars (that might be why she has been waking up every night)! But everything is looking good:)

As for me... I just finished my 3rd week of full bed rest.. I went for an u/s after the one that measured 3.6 cm and it dropped again to 3.0 cm. So they decided to keep me on full bed rest. Then I just went again this last week and it was still 3.0 cm so no changed was good. We also saw the Dr. and she said my cervix is very soft and with the baby positioned so low and her head pushing up against it.. she is still not comfortable with it: (( (hopefully not too much info!)

Ok..I wrote that last week so now I have a new update..I went to the high risk Dr's yesterday and they did another internal u/s looking at my cervix.. They found what they call funnelling which is basically dilating from the inside which is measuring 1.1 cm. They seemed very concerned and said soon I would be in the hospital and they would give me the steroids (which speeds up the babies lung development) and hope I make it past 28 weeks (when the preemies do best). So I had a VERY emotional day yesterday. However, I went for my normal check up and shot today and the Dr. didn't seem as concerned. He said that the funnelling doesn't necessarily mean I will go early again. He just said to continue doing full bed rest and then have a follow up u/s with the high risk Dr's next week to see if it gets any bigger. So that is that for now! We are all just hanging in there and hoping we don't have to go through the PREEMIE thing again.

Wow everyone is probably sick of reading all of this so I will post an update after my apt. next week. Sorry no pictures.. I am on my Dad's laptop and have no pics loaded on this computer.
