So, this Sunday I will be 34 weeks! It is such a great milestone to reach and honestly, 3 months ago we never dreamed we would make it this far. (I think my doctor is a little surprised too!) What a blessing! At my doctors appointment this week she said everything is going as well as can be expected and our little boy seems to be doing really well. We had an ultrasound at 32 weeks and Hudson measured about 4 pounds! He's probably going to be a small baby but looks very healthy! She also surprised us by saying that Sunday I can stop my medications that I am on for pre-term labor. We weren't expecting that at all but she said at this point babies that are born do well and the benefits of the medication no longer out weigh the risks. Basically if Hudson tries to come no one is going to stop him! How exciting but scary! There is no way of knowing what will happen when I stop taking the meds. I have contractions even though I'm on the meds. So, the contractions may pick up which may or may not make me go into full labor. Or, I may not have much of a change at all. We'll see! It will be another 2-3 weeks before my cervix cerclage is removed and I shouldn't dilate until them. But, if I went into full labor they would have to remove the cerclage at that time. I'm also still stuck on bed rest for a few more weeks, sadly! We are hanging in there, getting more excited to meet Hudson sometimes in the next 6 weeks! If only he could tell us when he is coming. Andy is doing a great job balancing school, errands, cleaning, and taking care of me, Hudson, and all of our pets! I couldn't have done this without him!
