Well, I really don't have any new news. Which is a good thing. My appointment went well yesterday. She didn't check my cervix, which is fine with me because if I am dilating then I don't want to know about it (yet). She didn't check because I have had no further changes in symptoms. I will be checked next Wed when I go. They will also test for Group B Strep. That is a bacteria that is present in 30% of women. I pray mine is negative so I do not have to have IV antibiotics during labor and delivery. I am also supposed to start tapering off the Procardia that may or may not be helping with my current contractions. They usually wean you between 35 weeks and 36 weeks, which starts today.
Something kind of crazy: In 14 days if I go into labor they will not stop it! However, we really need at least 19 days so Jonathan can be in town.
So I guess current prayer requests are that 1) He waits at least 19 more days; 2) My strep test is negative; 3) I am able to survive the next three to five weeks.
About Me

- I am striving to learn and grow more in 2012 than I have in any other year. I desire to be a better wife, mother, friend, and person in general. My goal is to grow spiritually and to become more like Jesus every day. My hope is to use this blog to share my journey with others to give and gain encouragement. I will post about my new job as a stay-at-home mom, what I am learning from books I am reading, crafts I am working on, and pertinent medical information.
