Pregnancy Update

I went in Monday for my 21 week check up and baby looks good. I gained another 4 pounds. Then it was time to express any problems I was having. I told Dr Woods that I was experiencing alot of pressure and what I thought was contractions. He sent me down to labor and delivery to be monitored and have an ultrasound to check the length of my cervix. After all that it turns out that my cervix has started thinning, not what I wanted to hear. Dr Hudson said that it is not to concerning right now but they want to watch it. So as of Tuesday I am on bed rest for one week, I can only get up for 5-10 mins at a time. This is so hard because of Nathan, but luckily I have the best husband in the world that does everything and we will do whatever we have to keep this little boy baking a lot longer. I cried most of monday because it is so frustrating that my body has such difficulty carrying a baby. If I could just get a new cervix I would be fine, apparently mine is no good. Please keep us in your prayers and hopefully when I go back on Monday he will release me from bed rest.
