More than likely this blog will be interesting to about 6 1/2 people. For those of you that have NO interest of hearing about Baby Pettis #3 and Me on bed rest... read no further.
To re-cap the last 7 days to those of you that are not up to speed:
Wednesday October 12th: Went to the emergency room because of increased abdominal pain and spotting. After monitoring me for a couple hours I was sent home and told to rest and was instructed to see the doc the following day. Came home and lost "plug". I called the Doc and she was as nice as can be (heavy on the sarcasm) and told me I was fine.
Thursday October 13th: Checked out by Doc and they stated I was dilated to a 1 with a firm cervix and was put on "pelvic rest". I basically decided I knew my body better and put myself on a mild bed rest.
Saturday October 15th: Increased pain, contractions, cramping and back pain... went to ER at 7pm. Was monitored for a couple hours and was dilated to a 2 with a soft cervix (major increase since Thursday for a gal in her 30th week of pregnancy). They kept me overnight in the hospital and monitored the baby until about Noon on Sunday. The Doc put me on a strict bed rest... I get to go to the bathroom, take a shower and occasionally eat at the dinner table.
Wednesday October 19th: Got an ultrasound and they were really positive about babies growth. They were estimating that baby weighs about 4lbs and is measuring two weeks ahead of schedule. This is AWESOME news :) Both Preston and I teared up during the the scan when we saw the profile of our little baby... identical side profile of our other two children. LOVE.
Countdown: 33 days 22 hours 19 minutes
IDENTICAL profile! Love baby #3!
