quick update from my cervix...

went to the doctor today and things are looking good! my cervical measurement was between 2.6 and 2.7 today, which basically means it's holding steady but i like that the numbers are a little higher than last week's 2.4. they checked out all the baby's vitals, especially his heart since that's the danger with the one medication (indomethacin), but everything looks great. so the doc said i should stick to the same regimen for another week. this weekend is the last time i will take the indomethacin, as it's really not safe for baby after 32 weeks. i go back next wednesday and we'll see how things are going then. he also said i can go to physical therapy for my back if i feel like i need to, so i'm going to give the place my OB recommended a call and see what their hours are like. all good news here, and even more so that i'm now sitting in a cafe drinking a decaf latte while i wait for an early dinner with the hubby before our childbirth class. it made more sense than going home and having to get back to this part of the neighborhood later today, AND it's a super big treat for me. yippee. :)
