Well.

I haven't been feeling we the past few days. Friday I was having contractions and by Sunday I was nauseous. Monday rolled around and I noticed Bug wasn't moving when she usually does, and that's when I started to worry. I was able to hold it together until today and I had pain/pressure when walking to the office. It didn't fade during the day and I didn't feel my little girl move at all.

I called the doctor at around 2pm and left the usual I-know-I'm-just-paranoid-BUT message, and Cindy (the best RN on the planet) called me back by 2:30pm. They were able to schedule me for 3pm with the doctor who, incidentally, was the one who admitted me to the hospital after my water broke at 33 weeks with Ian.

When I went in we were able to hear the heartbeat right away (thank God!) and I started to cry, of course. He decided to do an internal at that point, and then sent me down the hall for an ultrasound to check for movement. Apparently my past pre-term labor gives me license to bother everyone!

So, the deal is this: My cervix is long, but it's softening already! From this point on I have to be checked every Monday when I go in for my shot because he's "not happy" with the softening of the cervix this early. The good news is her heartbeat is steady at 128 BPM, her respiration rate is great, and she's measuring well (although ahead in some areas and behind in others), and she's moving fine. She's also changed position now from having her head by my right hip and her butt by my left, to her head by my left hip, butt to the right, spine down. She's moving into position, the little nut! Looks like no C-section though, since she's transverse now and not breech.

I'm saying a praying that she stays put for a few more weeks at the least!!!! I don't want to go through what we did with Ian...
