Well, I may start getting on top of blogging and stuff in the next short while! Chris had been taking pics of my belly with the new camera I got him for Christmas, so maybe I'll borrow it from him to get pictures off it and onto the blog!
So, we've been seeing a high risk doc in addition to our regular ob since about 20 weeks after they discovered my cervix was shortening. The good news is that they never had to do a stitch to keep it closed and they were just watching me closer. The bad news is that their threat finally came true and they put me on bedrest after my appointment on Friday. As you know, I am AWFUL at being on bedrest, especially when I feel fine, so I may be bugging everyone out of boredom in the next little while. I mostly feel bad for Chris who already had a lot on his plate and now has even more. And naturally, we're both the most worried about our sweet baby. I was given a couple of steroid shots to help his lungs and brain development as I was told I will be having him early, but of course, no one really knows when that is. Hopefully the bedrest helps and he stays in there at least until 32 weeks (although preferably longer)! I go back in next Friday so hopefully my cervix chills out on its shortening!
I wasn't able to get his weight and measurements on Friday, but two weeks ago when I was 26 weeks, he weighed 2 lbs 3 oz, up from an even 1 pound at 24 weeks! He definitely looked bigger on Friday at 28 weeks, but I guess I'll have to wait until next week to find out his weight, I'm just hoping he gets bigger fast for his sake!
But I promise to post pics soon for you out-of-staters as soon as I play with Chris' camera!

Wow Hannah I had NO IDEA you were put on bed rest! I missed you at church yesterday & thought maybe you were sick or something! PLEASE let me know if you need anything! A trip to the grocery store, or magazines or anything you need while you are down! Hang in there girl!!!
Hey do you want to borrow any of my books to read while you are down? Spencer and I will put you on the prayer roll each week from now on. Call me anytime if you need anything and I am going to keep bugging you to see if I can bring you dinner.
