Joyous Journeys

Lots of info to share. Still doing great in my sideways, waterlogged world. Just some updates with plans. 
Had a check up this morning and baby is doing good. Strong heart beat. Also got the first round of my weekly progesterone shots.


Yesterday I had a panic attack when the dr. from Austin called. She's the dr that did the cerclage.
I originally had an appt scheduled for yesterday with her in Austin but since I got put on bed rest I was figuring my dr had touched base with her to let her know everything. Thaaaat was not the case. The Austin office closes early on Fridays AND she was out of the office all last week SOOO nobody could contact her.
Anyhow I let her know what had happened and she went into overdrive wanting me to come up there ASAP and to have a US done to check cervix/cerclage and to see if the cerclage needs to come out to prevent infection etc...and I panicked!

WAITAMINUTE!!!!

A) I am on bed rest... Austin is a LONG drive!

B ) NOBODY is to be messing around with the netherland region as a precaution to prevent bacteria and infection.

C ) we have to leave the cerclage in so he doesn't FALL OUT!!!!

So I told her I had to talk to and pray with my husband and she gave me her cell no and said to call her as soon as I was able.

I talked to J when he got home (thankfully our precious neighbor took all the boys to the park so we had a little quiet time to process it all!!)

After some good time in prayer, quite a few tears from me and some good ol' Graham Cooke telling me that God calls us to do the impossible... We feel like God is going to show up (He already has) and carry us through even IF they feel better about the cerclage being out!

So I went to see my OB here today and she said she's great with me going to see dr in Austin and it would be good to be checked out by her seeing she is a high risk specialist.

So now I am waiting to hear back from her about being seen this week or next.
