As most of you know, I go to my doc every week. This week's appointment did not go as well as we hoped. It turns out I'm starting to dilate. Nothing to freak out about yet, I'm only 1/2 cm. My doc didn't even put me on complete bed rest although she did say I need to take it even more easy (how do I do this?).
What does this mean.... Well, I'm pretty sure it means I won't make it to 40 weeks. The way my doc explained it is that the hope is by 30 weeks (I'll be 29 on Sunday) the pelvic muscles hold the baby up and not so much my cervix (which is now confirmed to be crap). The good news is she said my stitch is holding up well.
So my next goal is to get to July 13th! Hopefully I will get there and then I would really like to make it to 32 weeks, so to the end of July. If I give birth at 32 weeks the baby would still need a bit of a NICU stay but nothing too dramatic.
Thanks to all of you who have helped me get this far by bringing meals and stopping by for visits. We really appreciate it. I'll keep you posted...

Sara: Be strong and be calm. I am sure you will get a happy and healthy daughter. I will send my positive thoughts your way (even from Hong Kong and China where I will be for the next 2 weeks). Will check the blog again when I get back. With best wishs - Lin
